Let me explain further..
The more I read anout ZAMM (on here), the less likely I am to ever read it.
I really cant remember if I did read it way back, or tried to and stopped.
I repeatedly see on here and in the book review that some say it gives wonderful insights of thoughts/things he experienced while on a road trip, but maybe I am getting it all wrong.
I do however feel there is a big FUNdaMENTAL difference in riders that have experienced to open road, and ones that have not. I heartily recommend that everyone liking bikes, should experience it (sportbikers might not enjoy it as much).
There is just a lot of the whole experience that is better felt than simply reading about it..
I realize some on here got into the game later in life or while circumstances dictate that heading off alone might be quite difficult to accomplish.
Anyway, so I shall state my view;
I think everyone that thinks they like bikes should get some open road/sleeping outdoors time in on their bikes, and I do not mean being within a days ride of home and simple rescue.
And that no book reading will replace that experience... although it may help fuel the desire to do so.
Hope that clears up the intent of the post a little bit..
