Meh, it all sounds like self-indulgent crap. I mean, I've always considered things like the Harley Davidson nothing less than butt jewelry, and direct A->B performance along an energy scale is pretty much all that matters to me. Electric can be boring as hell for all I care; in fact, all transportation 'culture' should be eschewed, so we can finally just transpose our civilizations away from the wasteful hedonism that is your modern auto-industrial society.

Now, if you want to argue that it is an Art form, then yes, I'm all there. I'd sure love to know what a 3D-printed Sportster rode, like ..




Yes, absolutely - many people merely want transportation and are thrilled with their Toyota-made appliances.

Thankfully that option is available to you, while those of us interested in other factors have additional options.

I would actually agree that a Harley is more about being loud than fast, and that rolling refrigerator I mentioned earlier would likely trounce my old musclecar in most measurable performance tests, except perhaps driving enjoyment.


You make a good point in a society where you can dictate to everyone what they buy.


OP sounds like the primary market for a hybrid Lada.
