Conclusion to this story, an iphone won't get you laid, a motorcycle will. Comparison is dumb.

I don't know man, have you seen the case on my iPhone? It makes girls wet. The fact that they're invalids is just a coincidence.

He sounds like on of the guys that got stuffed into lockers in high school. AS in, he thought buying _____________________ would make him cool. It's not working.

But if someone was looking to get into motorcycling now, what's the incentive? It's not fuel economy anymore. Most of today's bikes get mileage that is about on par with a shit car. Insurance premiums are god awful expensive. Even bare bones bikes are coming in around $8K. This guy's picked a weird comparison point with electronics, but it doesn't change that getting into a new bike now means you're most likely getting stuck in a 60 month loan to pay for a toy that'll depreciate to half the loan value in about a month. I see these shitfuck dickhead college students around here who go to the local ripoff dealer and end up $15K+ into a new 600 and can't dump the loan after a year because they're fucking completely upside-down in it. The entrance point into motorcycling is killing off the interest fast enough. Good thing the economy still allows us to make frivolous spending choices on overpriced toys.

Seems like a separate rant, but I totally agree.

The author, who is a 76 years old Ducati lover, is simply shaking a stick at those damn kids and their damn iPhones.

Any active Rider over the age of 70 gets 2 free "shake a stick those yungins" passes by me.
I will allow this one to pass without further comment but I do have complaints about the article which you guys are already covering.
