I get why they did it, for the steam punk appeal. It is a period thing, vinyl records, magnetic tape, Kodachrome, all that stuff is very interesting to millennials especially. But I personally believe in free speech and good entertainment and I do like motorcycles. So trust me, I am good with this, but as "light entertainment" only. There are a lot of purpose-built rat racers and cafe bikes in my town, and they are very, very cool. Guys taking old Honda, Yamaha, other Japanese stuff and tricking it out, making rolling art from it, using the bikes for daily transpo, duct tape and flat black paint everywhere.
I found Helge Pedersen's "10 Years on Two Wheels" more to my liking; for example, Helge disassembled his bike and packed it through the Darien Gap. Effin crazy and truly very, very dangerous. But again, no mistake about it, I am totally cool with these dudes and it's all good. Light-hearted, but good.
