I read that one last year and loved it. What a freakin adventure roller coaster that book was. I enjoyed all of the history throughout the book also. Can't recommend this book highly enough.

I don't know aout the first two, but "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" was one of the dumbest books I've ever attempted to read.

Seriously
This is very good book for all our veterans and law enforcement along with their family. It explains what you will and have been experiencing if you have ever lived through very stressfull times, under toughest conditions. If you have ever taken a life or thought that you will loose yours before the end of the day. It will make you understand that what you are experiencing is normal for what you have been through. If you have a buddy that has been through this type situation, please do him a favor and buy this book for -$10 paperback. Also if you ever get the opertunity to hear the author give a lecture go, it's worth the money The title is misleading thats why I save it for last. It doesn't tell you how to kill but what you will experience or have been afterwards

I just finished ready a very interesting book last night that I really enjoyed called The Old Man and the Harley. I would recommend it.
I have seen others ask about good magazine subscriptions to read but I would love to hear of any books about Harley's and riding that you have read and would recommend.

Ride with a father and his son on an amazing journey through America's past.
In the summer of 1939, with the nation balanced between the Great Depression and the gathering winds of war, young Jack Newkirk set off on a rickety Harley to see both the New York and San Francisco World's Fairs. He had no way of knowing it was to e the autumn of his youth, and that his entire generation would soon be thrust into the most devastating conflict in history.
Seven decades later, author John J. Newkirk retraces this epic ride with his father, Jack, in a silent hope the old soldier will still be proud of the America he fought for. Each mile brings discovery as the author learns of his namesake, the heroic Squadron Leader of the legendar Flying Tigers, and of his father's life on the road and in the jungles of the South Pacific during World War II.
The result is quintessential Americana, a sweeping portrait of the grit, guts, ingenuity, and sacrifice that defined a nation, and a timely lesson from the Greatest Generation on how we can overcome our most pressing challenges and reclaim the American Dream.

The Old Man and The Harley is one of the best books I've ever read.
Also check out Ghost Rider by Neil Peart (Drummer from Rush) another incredible story.

So far "The Harley Davidson Reader" isn't too bad. It is a book of short stories from various people.

Pirsig spent too much time justifying why his way is the right way, and everyone else is doing it wrong. Didn't seem to jibe with what I know about Buddhism.
