A Rant

[themostepotente]

So sue me. I'm overdue :P And what with being sick and losing the first draft of my recs, I'm about as murderous as Lucius Malfoy in a room full of Muggles.

The Remus/Sirius fans might agree with me here.

You're reading that Remus/Sirius sex on the motorcycle fic, and the author doesn't know shit from shinola when it comes to motorcycles and corresponding periods and countries. Crotch rockets, people? Harley Davidsons? Somebody needs a bitchslapping, man.

Triumph. Possibly an Indian. Never a Honda.

And if you must be an ass and put Sirius on a Harley -- there is a fucking 'd' before the 's' in Davidson.

That is all.

And that is why I stay away from writing or drawing motorcycles. ;)

But I really can't imagine Sirius on a Harley Davidson...you can partially blame it on the "Harley Davidson leggings" every girl wore in the mid-nineties. Or simply because it's a too "American" motorcycle.

And who'd put him on a Honda?

I'm English, and I rode (and drove) Harleys (and Nortons and Hondas) in the 1970's! Harleys were the trendiest bikes in existence - everyone wanted one.

*melts at the memory*

As I said, that's why I stay away from dealing with motorbikes in fic and art. :) I'm completely clueless! (However, should I ever feel like including a bike in something, I'd do some research before!)

Thanks for correcting me about the Harley, but for me a Harley just gives out these very strong "american-vibes" - I think more of the great, open spaces, "Easy Rider" and Hells Angels than England in the 70's.
And as for Honda: I can't help but imagine some sleek racing bike that would fit perfectly into some futuristic manga...

I rode a ten speed in the '70's :P

And who'd put him on a Honda?

The same idjit that'd put him on a Ducati :P

Though you have to admit that if he was going to ride an Italian bike, that's EXACTLY what he'd ride.
