I read this book while on a 6,561 round trip vacation, with my Wife, in June 1974 on our new Honda CB750. In High school, I had a CB72 and a CB77 Superhawk so I understood his infatuation with taking care of his bike as a metaphor for mental peace of mind and psychological and physical health. I considered naming my CB750 'PHAEDRA,' in honor of his book but realized that I would have to explain the name to others. I still have several copies somewhere and have read it as recently as 2010.
