Why do you need to rev it early in the morning for 5 minutes waking up the neighborhood?

    Yeah, there are cool bikes of all sorts for sure, I would like to try sometimes. I was just saying the particular bike (harleys, choppers, big loud things) and lifestyle that was sold as freedom was anything but, those bikes cost as much as a car now.

      Yes, and Harleys are big and heavy which severely limits their freedom to paved roads and only maybe the most gentle of unpaved tracks.

      So, freedom was available all along, but not from those trying to market it as a capitalist lifestyle

        Harley makes an adventure bike to go anywhere, but I would not trust it to not break and it’s overpriced.

          That tank can’t make it to any remote places, you can’t even lift it in your own if you’re a woman.

          My trailie weighs 105kg, and I can lift one end at a time - essential for putting it in the back of a pickup truck when it breaks down
