...cars have become increasingly automated, replete with cruise control, navigator computers that talk to the driver and electronic parts that take the ‘I’ out of driving. There are those who project a future automobile that do not require a driver, where the machine is centrally controlled, the would be driver thence becomes a passenger. Such changes are not seriously projected for motorcycles, for motorcyclists do not largely ride for practical reasons, despite those who extol their mileage per gallon,… motorcyclists ride largely for the aesthetic experiences riding provides , from being nearly out of control, or extending total concentration not to get killed, from getting soaked in warm summer rain to being totally dry an hour later. In a deepest sense, riding takes skill that driving a car does not, skill that one can take pride in‘. 

Bernard E Rollin. (Sometime in the late eighties/early nineties)

Amen to that.

Rollin, you farking genius...
