Looking in on our coverage of a big motor show in Germany, I see something called the “Gunbus,” described as “the biggest motorcycle in the world.”
How big is it? It’s over 11 feet long, which means it would be sort of like enjoying the freedom of the open road in a stretch limo without the body attached.
What sheer marketing genius, to take the most fabled, romantic, iconically independent travel machine in history, and introduce the word “bus” to the name!
It’s like running into the dudes from “Easy Rider” waiting for a Greyhound.
Just imagine. When you stop at a biker hangout and the other guys are looking for somebody to beat up, who do you think is going to attract their attention?
They’re going to be like, ”Hey, look at the dork with low self-esteem whose bike has a guest bedroom attached! Let’s beat the crap out of him!”
