Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
In his now classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig brings us a literary chautauqua, a novel that is meant to both entertain and edify. It scores high on both counts.
Phaedrus, our narrator, takes a present-tense cross-country motorcycle trip with his son during which the maintenance of the motorcycle becomes an illustration of how we can unify the cold, rational realm of technology with the warm, imaginative realm of artistry. As in Zen, the trick is to become one with the activity, to engage in it fully, to see and appreciate all details--be it hiking in the woods, penning an essay, or tightening the chain on a motorcycle.

Columbia Lode Hauler
Car camping with the fam, catching opening day at mt. baker, hunting & fishing excursions, a ten-day safari through tanzinia-when we started brainstorming possible uses for this rugged, 105-liter carry-all, we just couldn't stop. it's lined with a sleek, durable pe plastic material that can easily be wiped clean of grit and grime (or even hosed off if need be). the main zipper is inset in super-stretchy spandura fabric, so just went you think you've completely overpacked, the zipper area stretches and closed it goes. easily strap the lode hauler to your roof racks-d-rings provide great lashing spots for zip ties and bungees.

And to help you carry your load more efficiently, the pack includes several compression bindings, including an adjustable overskirt compression strap, ultralight 7mm webbing side compression, and inside-out compression straps in the side pockets.
