			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unlike the <a target="_blank" title="Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance   by Robert M. Pirsig" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060839872/59ideas-20">book</a> whose name inspired this site, this site is <strong>really about motorcycle maintenance</strong>.</p>
<p>When I rode my first bike like 8 years ago, one of the problem I faced was finding information about motorcycle maintenance. There wasn&#8217;t any book on the topic, not at least for the cheaper bike. Not for Japanese bike.</p>
<p>What was available was fancy information about custom bikes, fancy bikes, prototypes, fastest bike, latest model, test rides. Nothing along the line of helping the new biker who just brought a second hand bike for a few hundred dollars.<br />
Motorcyclist like to trade stories, tell fellow riders what they had done before. When I park my bike at the parking lot, I talk to people, look at their bike. I never come across a car driver doing that.</p>
<p>Quoting a line from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I had had the nerve to propose repair of his new eighteen-hundred dollar BMW, the pride of a half-century of German mechanical finesse, with a piece of old beer can! </em></p></blockquote>
<p>It is story like this I like to collect and share. Not necessary my own.</p>
