Kind of an interesting thing to exhibit when the book never actually mentions the type of motorcycle he is riding.

- taneq 7y agoI clicked on the story precisely to find out what it was! 1966 Honda Super Hawk if anyone's curious.
- 14 7y agoI am very curious to read this book and learn more about this bike. Just last summer I bought my first bike, a Honda CB650SC nighthawk. It has brought so much joy to me. The feeling of being on the open road and you can really see everything on the road and all the smells along the way I have never noticed with my windows up. Riding soothes my soul. Now I am curious about this book and will see if I can find a copy somewhere.
- taneq 7y agoI thought it was a great book, but be aware that (as implied elsewhere in this thread) it’s more about philosophy mixed in with the feeling of riding and maintaining a motorcycle.
- coldtea 7y agoIf the book was inspired by/based on an actual trip, then it doesn't need to be mentioned in the book, one can just check what motorcyle was used in the trip, no?

- inimino 7y agoOne of my favorite things about the book was that that detail was left out.
