I am busy reading this book, have been for the last two years (I seem to struggle to motivate myself to pick it up), but this paragraph I found to be quite profound:
"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 T.V. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a motorcycle 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." ~ Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
