I know a lot of people don't like motorcycles, and they sometimes wonder why anyone would ride one. Here is my answer, it's pretty short. All you need to do is watch this video from 1969 starring Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, and Dennis Hopper. It's called "If you Want to be a Bird". The year 1969 was also the year I started motorcycling.
Which is most like a motorcycle - riding inside a stagecoach or riding a horse? From a practical point of view, it would be an improvement if the Lone Ranger hitched up his horse to a stagecoach and rode inside. He could carry more stuff, and also stay warm and dry in the rain. But I'm guessing the Lone Ranger would go for the motorcycle.
For those of you too young to know, here is a short video to help you imagine the impact of trading in the horse on a stagecoach
Classic!
