Who is the boss, man or machine?

Post by boz »

In terms of our commonality (the shared passion for our motorcycles), do our machines serve us or do we serve our machines?
Do we take them or do they take us?

We spend our time cosetting, preening, servicing and fulfilling the inert needs of our bikes. They take us to work, play and pastures new; what is our input Blippimg the throttle, applying the brakes but all the while, they are in charge?

How do you see this. Are you the boss, or is that role taken by your Storm (or any other bike)?
Have the machines taken over (first one to mention Terminator is a Termatosser lol)?

have you violated the storm been putting your nob where you shouldn't mate and now feel ever so guilty? haha

The storm defo has the upperhand on me, i cant help but throw money its way, id imagine id be the same with any bike,
i even put money into that 1978 Wet-dream bag of crap getting it new shocks and HT leads and a service, made a good sum of money when i sold that, something i know i will never achieve with the storm
