Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was first published in 1974, exactly 40 years ago and subsequently sold in excess of 5 million copies worldwide.

The book recalls the story of Robert M. Pirsig and his 12 year old son Chris who rode a 1964 Honda SuperHawk (CB77) on a 17-day journey from Minnesota to Northern California during the summer of 1968.

During the summer of 2012 I rode my 1977 Kawasaki Z650 from England to Northern Spain with my 13 year old son accompanying me.

We shot a video of our adventure, which is presented by my son.

To celebrate the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance publication anniversary I�ve re-edited the footage down to 8 minutes.
