I tried to post a photo, link a photo ,drag drop a photo and failed as usual.

Been there, done that.

Oooh, we have jungles? (rushing to the window) Oh. nevermind. Remember to wash vigorously after bushwhacking cow parsnip or the rest of your trip you will be in a burqah so you don’t turn into an oozy, pus-y salve-slathered sideshow freak.

Throttle defeat device = ignition switch. Oh, wait. Nevermind. Just “shift” it into neutral with the fly-by-wire “regular-permenent press-delicates” knob attached to the faulty electrical system. Waiting for the grands to ask me why my leg always moves when I move the stick on the floor while we’re driving.

Um, yeah, I’m going to have to sort of disagree with you there. I also got the chance to drive a Versa with a Continually Vomitous Trash power transfer device. The combination of trying to simulate shift points and expected CVT action left me nauseous. Coupled with the mystery actions of the manual control I was very…

Hang the sense of it and keep yourself busy. I suggest early retirement and lots of bike touring and blogging about french fries you’ve encountered at the various cafes and diners you stop at. While new-fangled, sriracha ketchup is as positive a development as OHC and FI on a V-twin.

I feel sorry for the people that will inevitably end up colliding with them as the ADHD, screen-addicted riders drift between lanes while trying to make a social media post. Just one more moving obstacle to deal with while riding.
