CW: "Values are what command our allegiance"
50 years since the publication of ZATAMM next year.
"In this post, I want to contextualize the importance of the discussion, by indicating why a richer understanding of Value and values matters for civil society and democracy. I also take the opportunity to note some curious parallels between Iain’s work and Robert Pirsig’s more generally, which is particularly apparent on the matter of perceiving value."

"Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?"What has the ECHR ever done for us?

CW: All my Motorcycling Yesterdays
Can't teach an old dog new tricks they say.
Or, old two stroke motorcycle racers never die , but they do keep a finger hovering over the clutch lever on any motorcycle.
The last Forgotten Error Morini speed hill climber in final iteration of handlebar type.
Note index finger ready on the clutch lever although it's a four stroke and I have never managed to seize a Morini twin.
Gone but not forgotten.

CW: All my Mototcycling Yesterdays
How my chronic Morini sickness began.
My first 1975 Moto Morini 350 Strada which I purchased new. Shown during a motorcycle 'gymkhana' at Newlands Corner Surrey as part of an AJS/Matchless OC rally.
Note unsuitably large top box, de rigeur 70's biker boots with buckles worn with sea boot socks and the 70's hair. Also the rear cylinder seems to be smoking slightly!
Never without a Morini for long since then.
