Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Vandalism
by Vince?Daliessio
A longstanding enmity exists between many riders and fans of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and those disposed to "rice grinders" from Japan. This is frequently manifest at biker gatherings, where a form of diversion is often made of sledgehammering some poor old Honda twin to pieces?at a dollar a throw.
A guy I work with just bought a Kawasaki ZRX1200R, and, Japanese or no, it is one bad-ass bike;

He rode it to work today, and when he came out at coffee break, some enlightened "vandals" had taken a bag of rice, poured it in a circle on the ground around the bike, then left the bag on the seat. Very Zen.
I work with some good people.
