Depending on the timing, this is either a “Cosby pro-rape suite”, or a “Cosby goofy comedian suite.” What I’m seeing is that the wide spread Cosby allegations didn’t come out until 2014. This picture was taken in 2013 back when Cosby was still just known as the comedian.

Wait, there was only 1 Hobbit movie and that was a cartoon, right?

I’m not defending the behavior outlined in the lawsuit, not in the least. I think Blizzard deserves to pay big time if they ignored the actions outlined. But Cosby was not a well know rapist in 2013 and his sweaters were kind of a joke and a meme at the time. Yes, there had been some blind items and the settlement,

Cosby’s ruling wasn’t overturned on a “technicality,” the government literally lied to convict him: if Cosby refused to testify after he was promised that criminal charges wouldn’t be used against him, he could be held in jail until he did. Then, when he testified to prevent that, the government turned right around

Look Brad... can I call you Brad? What’s with the face? I didn’t call you Chad.

It’s easy to say that now, but for many people it was Hannibal Buress who put the spotlight on Cosby in 2014. There areindustry’ open secrets, and ‘public’ open secrets, and even if we want to generous, it wasn’t until at least 2006 when it was really blowing up.

Could we see a full fairing sport bike built from the Sportster platform? Who knows?

This is no excuse for the behavior they have shown through other evidence.  But 2013 was before the Bill Cosby stuff blew up in 2014.  So this isn’t something to add to their transgressions as 95% of people had no idea about sexual assault allegations against Cosby at the time. 

I think the Cosby Suite thing is not enough to fixate in and of itself in light of all the other testimonies about terrible things. Looking back, while there were allegations against him in 2006, the floodgates on Cosby really opened up in 2014, which would be one year after these pictures.

First off: Yes. Alex Afrasiabi is a sexual predator with numerous complaints against him. Charges should be pressed and there should be consequences for his actions. Yes. Those group chat screenshots are chock full of toxicity. There are terrible off color jokes that are made in poor taste. Saying such things

Weird revisionism, most people didn’t know about the allegations against Cosby until Hannibal Burress referenced them in a standup set in October 2014.

Ducatis and BMWs and Triumphs can all be outperformed by less expensive Japanese bikes and that’s totally fine. Italian, German and English cars an all be outperformed by significantly cheaper American and Japanese cars.

But if you want an M3 (or whaterver it is today), you want an M3, not a mustang. If you want a

I mean you do look a bit like you’re riding a Honda Monkey. 

I totally buy some of that argument, this motor is really tempting, though I’m not sure if the F150 to base Mustang comparo is quite as accurate as a GT350 to M2 would be.

Anecdotally, they can’t build Pan Americas fast enough to fulfil demand, which seems like a great start. 

You could certainly be confused in fall of 2013. Bill Cosby’s fall from grace happened at the end of 2014 (prompted by a Hannibal Buress clip going viral, of all things). Bill Cosby was still putting out comedy specials at the end of 2013 and generally thought of as an adorable elderly figure, going on the talk show

holy shit this is hilarious looking 

I’ve owned mostly UJM’s during my motorcycle career always keeping the sportster in my periphery, held off by where it sits in the performance-to-price-to-cost of ownership triangle. At the start of this review I thought, finally a Harley I’m genuinely interested in as a millennial rider but waiting for the Harley tax

You know what? I think HD deserves a pat on the back for going all-in on a total overhaul of their brand and product lineup. NOT easy to do when your image forever has been geared towards aging boomers.
