OK tell ya what Jef, find someone willing to ride the 1964* CB77 superhawk,
you can ride Pirsig's buddy John's 1967 model R60 beemer, I will ride the
cavalcade, and we three can ride across Montana and wax philosophical every
evening over beer.  But this time without going crazy at the end.  We would
need to get Damien, as he would be the ideal candidate to write it for us.

*Apologies biker extropians: in an earlier post I accidentally said 1967
superhawk, but now I remembered that Pirsig's bike was actually a
(mechanically nearly identical) 1964 model brought to you by Mr. Soichiro
Honda (with an aftermarket handlebar) as can be seen by the shape of the
knee pads on the sides of the tank and the length of the front fender.
