Do Harleys have a future in a digital world?
Peckhammer
internet access are all destined to appear in your car. The internet has a
sneaky way of extending your workday and with wireless internet access
installed in your Cadillac, you'll be holding meetings while stuck on the
405. Voice activated software will allow you to swap e-mail or move funds
from your Vanguard account without spilling the foam on your latte. And with
all these new distractions, digital cars will have to do the driving for
you.
The technoplegics among you will probably spew your usual twaddle about how
Cuba will be a democracy before these advancements hit the street. As hard
evidence to the contrary, I offer the news that GM plans to offer Internet
access in vehicles within a year. They also claim that Internet access will
be a standard feature in all its cars within the next three to five years.
In Europe -- despite the fact that drink holders are a relatively new
addition to automobiles -- one car manufacturer is currently producing a
vehicle that has a fold-down laptop, a printer, full videoconferencing gear,
and a fucking refrigerator.
With all these "advancements" in automotive distractions, one has to ask the
question as to what the future of motorcycling will be. Is there room for
piloted vehicles on an otherwise auto-piloted road system? Until there are
a majority of automatic systems in place, I suspect that motorcyclists,
especially HD riders who can't get out of their own way, will be sitting
ducks whilst yuppies pursue the american dream -- telecommuting at the speed
of light.
Think about the bright side -- what the future offers: I won't even have to
get out of bed! I can strap on a virtual reality suit so that I can emulate
riding a motorcycle, driving a formula one race car or an earth mover; I can
cornhole Courtney Cox (just think of how this will change the way we "surf
for porn") while teleconferencing with the University making all my fellow
avatars wonder while I am moaning during the Steering Committee meeting ;
and I can do it all without ever having to stand in line, without having to
endure traffic, without having to ambulate and without any physical human
contact. Soon I will be an atrophied blob of Jell-O mistaken for a
miscarriage by the maid. Yeah baby... bring it on!

But what does this have to do with us that still scratches our ass with the

I may have stuck my wick in many a candle but there have been noooo
refrigerators in my love life, unless you count the Igoo ice chest on that
hunting trip that one time.

If you get naked, they will see you, no matter what they got in their ear.

I am thinking of the bright side.
A way that socially inept jerkoffs such as yourself will never have to leave the
house, leaving the roadways back they way God intended - Open to only the few of
us who appreciate the liberty of a slab free from sheep who would rather be
regulated than take responsibility for their own lives.
Enjoy your cubicle.
Yeah baby, ... bring it on!
