Why I think motorcycles are retarded

People ride motorcycles for one reason: to try to fit into society's idea of what a rebellious badass does. If they really did it for 'the love of the open road' or whatever other bull-blam!- excuse they give, they wouldn't have a problem riding Vespas, mopeds, Segways, or any of the other vehicles which give you free range of the road and allows the wind to blow out the leftover pieces of food from your unnecessarily bushy motorcycle beard. So basically these people ride motorcycles to show they're rebellious. They can't be held down by the man. Society can't dictate their actions. That is unless society dictates that riding motorcycles is what shows you don't accept what society dictates. That's why I think people who ride motorcycles are stupid. They do it for the rebellious attitude, but it's not really rebellious if you're buying into the already preconceived notion of what a badass is.

This whole thread is about living up to society's expectations and you've just repeated that same idea to me.[/quote] If you need to ask why, you wouldn't understand anyway lol. Some folks have the need for speed, and motorcycle satisfy that need with gusto. And as for 'society's expectations, let me rephrase my former statement in a metaphorical picture comparison: [url=http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.wonderquest.com/women_british2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://pole-land.com/fmforums/prt/the%2520average%2520british%2520woman%2520size-86144.html&usg=__LxEO1SBcJBoxw3kptfDC4E8ZKr4=&h=300&w=200&sz=24&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=XPMathCyr774SM:&tbnh=142&tbnw=92&ei=luPmTbGvHMHEgQfkoK3NCg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Daverage%2Bwoman%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3Dp2H%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D1076%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=278&page=1&ndsp=75&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0&tx=43&ty=39&biw=1920&bih=1076]Vespa[/url] [url=http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/Olivia-Wilde-Tron.jpg&imgrefurl=http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/is-olivia-wilde-the-frontrunner-for-lois-lane/&usg=__KgY-qBGZby0E-JfMNxekjRR3CEw=&h=499&w=290&sz=36&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=G63M6_2zfgdV8M:&tbnh=181&tbnw=120&ei=AOTmTaqWBNOSgQf13-ylCg&prev=/search%3Fq%3DOlivia%2Bwilde%2Btron%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3D7Ox%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D1076%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1595&vpy=223&dur=4233&hovh=295&hovw=171&tx=101&ty=92&page=1&ndsp=62&ved=1t:429,r:20,s:0&biw=1920&bih=1076]Ducatti Monster, Honda CBR 600/1000, Suzuki GXR, etc[/url].

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] GoodApolloIV As a hopeful future motorcycle owner, I find this thread garbage. People don't ride motorcycles because they want to "stick it to the man". It's a fun way to get around, motorcycles get great gas mileage. A motorcycle is more fun than a Vespa or moped. In fact, people who buy nice cars are stupid. Obviously they only do it because they are buying into the already preconceived notion of what a badass is. If they love driving their car so much, then why don't they just buy Nissan Leafs and Honda Fits.[/quote]
