Arnold Pirsig, at 80 you are just in your prime. Our former President of the United Sidecar Association is 80, and he just completed the Ultimate Coast to Coast ride on his Sidecar rig, from Houston,  Texas to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.....to Key West,  Florida. 

I have to ask.....is your reason for quitting because....you have read your brother's book.....Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.....too many times , and it twisted your mind beyond recovery?

Robert  M. Pirsig......Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Was Robert M. Pirsig your brother,  uncle,  or what ? He was born in Minnesota. 

Oh, and before you go......WELCOME to the greatest Sidecar forums on  Earth.  friday
