Dont tell me you guys have never performed a “henshin” when you were young or getting all excited seeing a superbike zoom pass by while your dad is driving you back kampung during festive season or even when trinity appeared in a Dark metallic green Ducati 996 (some gal may have screamed louder than others) and imagining yourself doing that someday.
The common denominators are bikes and there are costumes and somehow a biker outfit does fit the bill and it is accessible.
Remember those days that we glued our eyes to the TV admiring characters like Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, Biker Mice From Mars, Robotech, Ghost Rider, Evil Knievel and etc. There are some people who goes to the extend to curate a facade of a character wrapping themselves around a certain brand and so much so they mutate themself as an instrument to that brand so that they do not need a single grain of effort to express any form of creativity and just ride along the success of the lifestyle that the brand or community has given birth to thus far. We do purchase either to satisfy ourself as a form of self gratification, fulfilling a void, displacement to something that’s unjust or a form of escapism from reality. Some people are more subtle whilst some fairly LOUD about it. It is a form of thing that has been ingrained into us city dwellers and we’ve been doing it since our first pay check or even thinking about it since primary school. We are not in any way condoning this type of thinking but it is something that we actually do on daily basis. Even if it has cooled down, it is in dormant state silently waiting for a chance to rise again. Someone stops and someone picks up the queue and it lives in the internet forever. Well, not gonna go further bashing her anymore as i believe the internet has served its purpose and i think this scar is gonna live with her for a very long time to come. It was all fuelled by hate, jealousy, self defense and etc and that girl managed to trigger so many bikers with ONE statement. Notably spreading faster than the Covid19 virus itself. The only thing that has crossed the woodlands checkpoint to Malaysia and making rounds between both our country is probably the statement above. “Dont own a ducati and you are automatically a poser”.
