Needs a 1/1000 chance to just say “behind the wheel of a large automobile”

Some people ask “why are you hotboxing a lobster?”

Others ask why not. Others dare to wonder, to dream.

The universe thinks correctly.

They always look like they’re jamming to the sickest little tune in their head.

perhaps they got inspired somewhere.

Thankfully, humans are on track to all be very dead by then.

I mean, a motorcycle is transportation. It can transport maybe you and one passenger (and some light cargo, I know), but it’s more practical in a car-centric service economy than walking everywhere. They’re also pretty fuel efficient for being so light, and fairly dangerous if people don’t notice your tiny ass (which is an advantage of all the noise)

I have literally zero negative or positive opinions about Harleys as motorcycles, I don’t own one or know anyone who does, I don’t even have a motorcycle license so feel free to correct me if you have a differing opinion – to me, they just are what some people enjoy. It’s the… quality of the people who tend to enjoy them that gives me the ick. Like a bar that didn’t quite fully kick the Nazis out. I know they aren’t all Nazis, but there are still a disturbing number of Nazis. Or at the very least, American neo-nazis are not frequently depicted riding crotch rockets from overseas.

I almost bought this until I read your username

the thing is, current societal structures have outlived their usefulness. For much of our history we have been groping in the dark, as you said, only within the last 200 years have we really started to understand the world around us as it is. Prior to only just recently, we did not have the technology or knowledge required to ensure that everyone had enough, and we didn’t have the connection with other people thousands of miles away that first radio, then television and movies, then the internet provided.

Nowadays I firmly believe there is enough for everyone (if not for fuckheads with multiple yachts), and we could do some amazing things if we all worked together, but the power structures of hierarchical society and capitalism refuse to die gracefully.

I’ve heard part of the reason some people choose a Harley is because the sound makes them more noticeable in traffic, as a safety thing.

The merch is fucking stupid, but at least the noise does have a safety benefit, plenty of motorcycle riders get killed because other drivers didn’t notice them – good luck not noticing a Harley in close proximity.
