Robert Pirsig is gone...

[WØTKX]

The author of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" has passed away at 88.

I've read that, and a lot of his other stuff over the years. He has a great website...

Hope it stays up.

He recently released Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to the public domain. Makes me think he knew he was going.

Got a copy of that somewhere.

Have given copies away as gifts, and have received them in turn.

RIP yet another cultural icon.

"To say that God is any less in the workings of a motorcycle than he is in the petals of a flower is to belittle him." - R. Pirsig,

At my first professional job my immediate supervisor had that quotation hanging on he wall in front of his desk.

Damn. Very formative book for me.

Yea. Hell, I grew up in Minneapolis, and went to Montana State in... Bozeman. :mrgreen:

His website is full of great stuff that he did later. Recommended.
