Not me. I mean, i love them, i love to see and hear them, but i can’t imagine driving one.
MotoGP is my motor sport nr. 1.
But riding myself?
I think it’s because of my dad. When he was 20 something, he drove with my uncle’s bike right into a barbed wire fence. His body is ridden with deep cuts, from head to toe.
That always deterred me from even thinking about it, i guess.
Harley Davidson not being there anymore is really sad. It’s a daily reminder of the time passed… 15 years ago, there was no way a Harley Shop wouldn’t have enough customers. I felt the last generation switch, until now i was always like part of everything happening - now it’s so clear where my generation ends and that there’s a new generation that came of age and “took over” lol
I always picture them in their head going “Ha! I win at driving! Suck it!”
Then, echoing through their empty heads: Vrooomm, VROOOOOM, vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nah, I’m pretty sure that’d the bikers.
Source: am biker. I just like the vrooms.
I was pretty bummed, when the Harley Davidson shop closed, right on the side of where i work. It had been there forever. They also made repairs there.
I’m a developer and hearing the bikes driving around all day was great for work. Like white noise with a sprinkle of gas.
They had a party every year. You could hear them arriving from a mile away, since, as you know, bikers love coming around in huge groups.
Now it’s just an empty hall.
Edit: they closed just about a few months ago and i heard them sounds for 15 years.
Man, that’s actually kinda sad.
Why don’t you take back the streets and get a bike?

Ahh, I understand. I’m sorry about your father’s experience.
It can be bloody dangerous, especially when it comes to other drivers, and shit that could potentially happen.
Must be a harsh feeling seeing that happen around you. But, at least it was fun whilst it lasted
It’s interesting seeing all three changes tbh - the only catch in all this, is time passing by too quickly.
