In the brilliant "retro-tropolis" that is my future fantasy, Blythe would roll on one of THESE:

Oooh, I'm particularly fond of the first one. I also love Morgan cars, which makes MG unduly nervous as they'd fold up like tissue paper if you were in a car accident.

Stephen Fry used to ride a motorbike but says he stopped when he found out from a surgeon friend that they called motorbike riders "organ donors."

Dad was in a bad motorcycle accident shortly before I was born and hasn't been on one since. Given T.O.'s climate, a motorcycle is about as practical as a camel in terms of transportation, but I have always been attracted to them. Perhaps it is because I have done most of my adult travelling alone...

These ones are so artful!

LOL...yes. When Mama Siamese worked for the coroner they called them donorcycles.

*sigh* I know, I know...

Doesn't mean they aren't cool, though.

And in my future "retro-tropolis", all riders would have personal force fields while riding, thus reducing the risk of personal injury ;)

It's MY future; I can manipulate it as I see fit!

We have good cookies as well as two-wheeled deathtraps!

I've crashed quite a few bikes, a few times pretty badly... but I still won't give it up! Motorcycling is a wonderful terrible addiction. And a slippery 'gateway' to other interesting lifestyle choices.

Yay for the Dark Side!!!! ^_^

I dunno if I really have the proverbial balls for it. I fear body mangling... Plus, I still don't have a driver's license...

Well it's not for everyone. But as a "couch rider" you have spectacular taste in exotic steam-punk-esque motorthingums. Of course I'm partial to the BMW out of brand loyalty but the Henderson really steals the show with its gorgeous bubbles and cowls. Gorgeous machines, suitable for the most discriminating super-heroine looking for a classy ride.
