You get better anarchy with a Dodge Challenger.
Good luck hiding your assault weapons and gold in a motorcycle... 
... and a change of clothes (or several, unless you like skin sores or stopping to do laundry every few days)
... and a sleeping bag in case you can't find a motel
... and something you can send e-mail with, without getting Repetitive Strain Injury
... and some water, food, and med kit, as well as a repair kit if you break down in the middle of nowhere
... and a passenger seat in case you meet someone special
... and some sex toys if she's into that sorta thing
... and a back seat
Yes, and you save even more money by walking. And that MPG estimate is for people who travel light - I bet a hybrid car gets lower MPG than a bike above certain load weight.
haf the commute time due to splitting lanes |
I'd like to check your math on how you end up with "haf". And splitting lanes at highway speeds gets you pulled over faster than just about anything else. And in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you know some jerk in an F-150 is gonna open a door in front of you someday - how often does one get an opportunity to get away with attempted murder?
It's impressive because it's so dangerous. |
It doesn't require any more balance and skill than to do the same thing with a pedal-powered bike, just more stupidity. And you can mount a pedal-powered bike on your car and take it places.
Oh, and biking through New Hampshire in winter sounds like particularly bright idea... 
I actually agree with you Libman. I was watching this show Sons of Anarchy, and it's led me down a wonderful trail of wikipedia and other online data about motorcycles, mc's, and the mystical patches and the like. It led me to a board where there was this guy spouting off about how if he sees someone wearing a vest or jacket with a patch on the back and it doesn't have MC he'd rip it off and burn the guys' jacket right in front of him. Another guy spouted in saying he should burn the other guy's back.
I never have rode for a long distance, I've never owned my own bike. I've always thought that a car was a more sensible means if you wanted to be a cross country guy. Hell, even that movie Easy Rider the actors say in the special features that just the short rides were killing their asses and backs, not to mention holding your arms up. Fonda, a professional rider was "worn out" And they weren't even really crossing the country they were taking small samples.
Give me a fast car, a durable car with ram bars in the front, reinforced bumpers and side skirts. . . something not huge perhaps something like a Dodge Charger or Challenger or even a Magnum would do the trick. When that biker gang comes along, you just roll on through. . . literally.
I also imagine something like Vin Diesel's GTO in XXX. . . rockets and guns attached to it, popping out when needed. While I'm thinking of all this, definitely a Mercedes Benz would be rather nice too, and if you get the old ass diesel or not "limo" versions you'd have plenty of room to sleep as well. You would attract a bit more attention.
what you need is Easy Rider's weed mixed with two parts Mad Max and Return to Thunderdome.
stir until a boil. . . now beat. . . .well
