Anyone ever read this amazing book?? Changed my life and made me want to fix my bike rather then let others do it. Any other books you've read that changed your life??

Read it. Still not sure I'd like to drive cross country two-up on a 1964 CB77. But maybe.

I've read it a couple times. My father in law got it for me when I got my bike. I do all my own maintenance now. Great read.

A friend of mine gave it to me but I haven't read it yet, although I do 95% of my maintenance anyway. But you have reminded me I have it so I'll dust it off this week and give it a go.

Never read that book but I've had my bike for 4.5 years now and it's never been into a shop, not even for tires...I change my own tires with an HF changer and a motorcycle static balancer....paid for themselves after 2 tire changes.

A real life-changer for me was The Cellestine Prophecy by James Redfield.
A book with a message of self enlightenment wrapped up in an easy to read story. Although its aimed at helping the reader understand their place in the world and how we relate to each other, it never sounds preachy. In fact it has been translated into almost every language and supposedly has out-sold the Bible!! Everyone from Doctors to Waitresses have read it and just about all take something away that helps them on their journey. (And no, I'm not specially religious or an old hippie

I'm reading it right now, and it's great! I just found out who Phaedrus was. And I think Chris had Asperger's but shh! Don't spoil it.

I've been meaning to read this one. I read an excerpt of it in eBook form and it was great. I gotta say that if all you came away with was "I'm going to do my own maintenance now" you are probably doing it wrong

I've been listening to a lot of Alan Watts, too. Oh, and a friend showed me this site today, hilarious:
