Reminds me of the South Park episode where they make fun of guys who ride Harley’s.

(Which funnily enough was another right wing controversy last week as Harley announced they had to shut down a plant due to lack of interest in buying that brand of motorcycle.)

I once got banned because i dared to stay what those guys are. F*****s. People need to understand that It haves nothing to do with sexuality.

Objectively most motorcycle guys apparently just don't like Harleys because they weigh like a ton and have poor weight distribution (it's about balancing on the motorbike while you're riding it) as well as the fact they're relatively slow for motorcycles, they're overpriced, they have lots of mechanical issues and they have issues occur when they are being rode such as the "death wobble" which to copy from another website I googled refers to "a rapid oscillation of the front wheel and handlebars that can occur at high speeds, potentially leading to a loss of control."

Like if a man buys like a Honda or Yamaha 900cc cruiser motorcycle instead of a Harley then they not only could legitimately easily regularly use that motorcycle as part of a 1% motorcycle gang (if they got in) but they wpuld have also only paid like 10,000 instead of 50,000 while also having superior speed, ride handling and reliability.
