Topic: The Perfect Vehicle

Just by way of commentary; I wouldn't read "Zen" anticipating anything to do with motorcycles really.

true.
there's a bit, but not much and usually it's only there to illustrate some other point.

I think that is why I never finished it. On the second try I'm way ahead of the first though. I may finish it on try 3 or 4.

I'm reading Peter Egan's "Leaning" right now. It's a collection of articles and columns that he's written for Cycle World over the years.  It's pretty good so far, and there are quite a few SOHC4 stories.

Hey, speaking of which, does anyone have (or know if this is in the "Leaning" book) the old CycleWorld article written about two of the magazine editors buying old barn special SOHC CB750's on the east coast, and riding them cross country (riding old route 66) back to CA?  I think one bike throws it's chain, tearing a hole in the crank case along the way.  I read that back when I only knew about more modern machines.  Now that I own a SOHC, I'd love to read that again!!!

I think this must have been around 1993 or so?

"Investment Biker"...Of all the world travel on bike books, this one has more actual writing on the riding of the bike.  And as a bonus, he circles the planet and then North to South's the Americas and Europe/Africa.  All this and his girl friend (the mechanic) leaves him.  Wow, adventure and a love story.

I'll check.  I think its in the Motorcycle Reports collection.

Found it.  May '93 Cycle World.  It's in the Motorcycle Reports collection.  It was a ride on old Route 66.  On two CB750 K0s.
