There’s a self important wimp factor among people who feel they have to point out how dangerous motorcycles can be...people who ride them know all about it and really don’t need a "Church Lady" cabal to remind them. In 2019 NYC had 28 bicycle deaths and 128 pedestrian deaths with multiples of that in serious injuries...stay inside Kaitty, and get the interns to loosen the restraints and put you near the window...not too close...careful...
I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery
Couple of threads have shown up lately. "Should you be an audiophile if you..." either have a certain type of gear, have a certain amount of money, or don’t make your own.
I personally reject all of that. I’m here for the enthusiasts, and those who suffer. That is, people who are enthusiastic about listening to music via electronics and those who are suffering with problems who need a little help. That’s how I try to build a community.
Also want to point out, again, that this hobby was built by hobbyists and tinkerers. The range included backyard self-electrocuting iconoclasts to scientists in acoustics and electrical engineering. I’m happy to welcome them all.
Laslty, I want to say something about the Porsche metaphor:
1 - All Porsches are ugly. This is an indisputable fact no one wants to talk about and means all debate needs to stop right there.
2 - Any motorcycle is more fun and exciting than any car.
Thank you for reading this and I’m glad I had a chance to nip these conversations in the bud. << evil troll laugh >>
