Being sold on e-Bay, Nancy Pirsig’s motorcycle jacket.
This leather jacket belongs to the ex-wife of author Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), whose married name was Nancy Pirsig. She is selling it because she doesn’t need it, since she now lives in a warm climate and no longer rides a motorcycle.
It was purchased around the late sixties or early seventies, and worn on many motorcycle trips ” day or weekend trips in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
In the photo, taken in the Pirsigs’ St. Paul driveway in the early seventies, you can see Bob Pirsig in the background.
Proceeds from this sale will go into a college fund for Nancy and Bob’s grandson.
The e-Bay seller on Nancy’s behalf is Ted Pirsig, son of Bob & Nancy, father of said grandson.
