I have never gotten a puncture on a motorcycle. I assume I'm not riding enough. edit: Gaaah new page. Content: I loving hate the new Ducati Scrambler promo movie so loving much. I'm literally angry about it right now. It's stupider than so much of the poo poo that goes on HNasty's blog. The only thing that could make it worse is a stupid fuckin voiceover about the real motorcycle lifestyle and how you have to own one to understand it.

I've never seen a group able to get more worked up over a marketing pitch than goons do.

The only way it could've more hipster is if they had a scene with angle grinder sparks that transformed it into a cafe racer.

I think I hate the Scrambler ad more than the usual videos on BHBV. The hipster videos are about desperately chasing, but failing to capture, authenticity and manliness. Videos like the Scrambler ad are chasing the fake-authenticity and cargo-cult-masculinity of the hipster videos, while homogenising it down to wallpaper paste consistency so it will see approval by a board of dead-eyed middle marketing 'brand managers'. There was meeting upon meeting about whether the pushing-a-guy-into-the-piss-bush clip was "too much" for the target demographic, you loving know it.

Then you can say you were buying lovely café bikes and turning them into comfortable tourers before it was cool.

 Helmet, jacket, gloves and... shorts. I can't ride at the moment due to just having major jaw surgery (my face looks like a swollen potato) and likely won't be able to for at least three months. Just as Texas is beginning to cool down.

I'm back to 90% good so can ride a bike fine but moving something slightly heavy the wrong way and I'm back to braces and pain (I'm a mechanic so this happens quite a bit). Wrists take loving forever to get back to normal especially when you can't really give them much of a break because it's either letting them properly heal or going to work for me.

Riding home today I pulled up at a large intersection and there was a guy on a harley waiting to turn on the other side of the intersection. He had his little kid on the back and when they turned and went past me the little boy looked at me and stuck his arm out and gave me a thumbs down

You know when a homophobic father teaches his son lots of anti-gay slurs, the kid probably ends up being gay? That kid will end up hating Harleys and start riding supermotos, therefore disgracing his father.

That kid will end up hating Harleys and start riding supermotos, therefore disgracing his father. Old white man probably in his 50 is sitting down in a kitchen table. The man is wearing a leather vest jacket with no shirt, said jacket sports a big rear end Harley logo. His body is strewn with tattoos a Harley tattoo is visible as well as a 20 years later… The old man is doing his favorite thing in the world, driving his Harley. He is using the most stereotypical Harley gear you can imagine but the guy is having gently caress so who cares. A hooligan in a Japanese sport touring bike pulls up and nods to the old man, the old man not taking any of this hooligan poo poo flips the bird at him. The hooligan flips open the helmet revealing that it’s in fact the son, only 20 years older. The son shakes his head disapproving in the old man rude behavior. Suddenly in a sound that can only be described as deliciously Italian an European super sport bike pulls up between them. The stranger then flips off the old man and the son, accelerates and wheelies off to the distance. The son stares befuddled at the rudeness of his own son while the old man merely laughs. The camara then pans into the old man tattoos again, the Harley tattoo is a little bit faded and his other Tattoo had a second modification.

If I still lived in my little Canadian hometown I would totally get a TW200 and put spiked ice tires on it and commute to work on that from November to March.

Normally I get upset at people who cut through parking lots to try to cut the line into work every morning, but today an AGATT guy with a sweet old FJR was trying to so I let him. Maybe the second or third ATGATT guy I've actually seen at work.
