> And besides, both the industry and the market is clearly on my side on this one since almost all of the biggest manufacturers are moving towards quickshifters and automatics - e.g., the new Honda Rebel 1100 and Ducati Monster. Yeah, and its gay AF. Tesla already ruined what was left in the sport of drag racing, fuck that shit in bikes. People can get whatever they want, I still won’t respect them.

I’m with you on the exhaust, no need to be like the guy bumping bass or other obnoxious people, but part of the appeal of motorcycles is they take skill to ride. Cars are already dead to me as any dipshit can buy a GT-R and the computers will fix all of his mistakes. If you want easy get a scooter, if you want respect then ride a bike without assists and shift it yourself.
