“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: Chapter 1” By: Robert M. Pirsig
You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s ...

completely different from any other. In a car you’re always in a
compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize
that through that car window everything you see is just more
TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you
boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re
completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just
watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is
overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below
your foot is the real thing, the same stuff you walk on, it’s right
there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your foot
down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole
experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness.
Chris and I are traveling to Montana with some friends riding
4. up ahead, and maybe headed farther than that. Plans are
deliberately indefinite, more to travel than to arrive anywhere.
We are just vacationing. Secondary roads are preferred. Paved
county roads are the best, state highways are next. Freeways are
the worst. We want to make good time, but for us now this is
measured with emphasis on “good” rather than “time” and when
you make that shift in emphasis the whole approach changes.
Twisting hilly roads are long in terms of seconds but are much
more enjoyable on a cycle where you bank into turns and don’t
get swung from side to side in any compartment. Roads with
little traffic are more enjoyable, as well as safer. Roads free of
drive-ins and billboards are better, roads where groves and
meadows and orchards and lawns come almost to the shoulder,
where kids wave to you when you ride by, where people look
from their porches to see who it is, where when you stop to ask
directions or information the answer tends to be longer than you
want rather than short, where people ask where you’re from and
how long you’ve been riding.

This photograph was taken somewhere between 1890 and 1940
in Egypt, showing two tourists riding camels led by their
Egyptian guides. They stand before the Sphinx of Giza, with the
Great Pyramids of Egypt visible in the background.

“Travels with Charley” By: John Steinbeck
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was
5. on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure
this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy
prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that
greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight
perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. Four
hoarse blasts of a ship’s whistle still raise the hair on my neck
and set my feet to tapping. The sound of a jet, an engine
warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement
brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the
hot palms and the churn of stomach high up under the rib cage.
In other words, I don’t improve; in further words, once a bum
always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable. I set this matter
down not to instruct others but to inform myself. When the
virus of restlessness begins to take possession of a wayward
man, and the road away from Here seems broad and straight and
sweet, the victim must first find himself a good and sufficient
reason for going. This to the practical bum is not difficult. He
has a built-in garden of reasons to choose from. Next he must
plan his trip in time and space, choose a direction and a
destination. And last he must implement the journey. How to
go, what to take, how long to stay. This part of the process is
invariable and immortal. I set it down only so that newcomers
to bumdom, like teen-agers in new-hatched sin, will not think
they invented it. Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put
in process; a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari,
an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It
has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A
journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans,
safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after
years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour
masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable,
dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only
when this is recognized can the blown-in-the-glass bum relax
and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In
this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is
6. to think you can control it. I feel better now, having said this,
although only those who have experienced it will understand it.
