Going fast is awesome. So is living. I love riding, but I do not love the machismo that comes with riding in the West. With that machismo comes products to stoke egos, including bikes with more power than anyone really needs on the road. I also feel like it prevents some people who might like to ride from ever trying it out and thus, less bikes on the road and less experience in driving around motorcycles.

While this is sad, it was totally avoidable on multiple levels.
