Harley Davidson recently announced they were going all electric. The archtypal American motorcycle, known for its V-twin rhythm, will now be quieter than your counter top blender. Many riders claim that the booming sound saves lives. You hear it coming, you get out of the way. As a life-long motorcyclist, I have no use for people who remove their baffles. Why give unnecessary offense? Plus, you lose your hearing. Most motorcycle horns emit a feeble honk. For Japanese bikes, we can trace this to their cultural sense of community and inherent politeness. You can order an after market horn that sounds like a freight train.
That said, this is a disastrous decision on many fronts. First, there is no shortage of petroleum. The shortages we’re experiencing our man-made. Morever, they’re malicious. The so-called World Economic Forum has a sinister agenda. To remove our freedom. The freedom to get on your bike and go is the most quintessential of American freedoms. We are not Belgium. America is a vast country where citizens can get in their cars and go wherever they like. Citizens. Not serfs. The American people have always believed this. The so-called New World Order is a cynical attempt to control everyone but the sneering, preening, caviar-swilling elite who have no intention of giving up their Rolls Royces, private jets and yachts. “You will eat bugs and be happy,” they tell us while they dine on lobster role and wagyu beef.
Many professional parasites, like California’s governor, have expressed their desire to force us all into electric vehicles. In California, you are ordered to purchase a hundred thousand dollar electric vehicle and forbidden to charge it. The power grid can’t handle the load. There is a more sinister reason. All electric cars and motorcycles can be electrically turned off. Say the wrong word, use the wrong pronoun, you’re under house arrest. There are already proposals in some cities to forbid “citizens” from roaming further than fifteen miles from their homes. Such restrictions are not the mark of a free people.

The “greenies,” including lustrous members of Congress known as The Squad, are already coming for our gas stoves. Why? Follow the money. China has the greatest natural gas reserves in the world. Where does the power for car and cycle batteries originate? In heavy metal mines in Africa, dug by child slaves. How gentle are these cobalt and lithium mines. I’ve enclosed a picture of a cobalt mine. Out of sight, out of mind. Not in my backyard has been the rallying cry of the worthless virtue signaler since time immemorial. Look what’s happening in “sanctuary cities” such as New York, where the clueless mayor howls that it’s not fair his city has to accept any “migrants.” But I digress. Back to bikes. Harley already has an electric motorcycle called the Livewire. Its highway range is seventy miles. It weighs five hundred and sixty-two pounds.
Bikers don’t want it. Indian is eating Harley’s lunch.
Say no to the new world order. Say yes to bikes that run on gas and smell of gasoline.
GENIUSES
My father, a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast and Harley fanatic, must be spinning in his grave at this news!
