You wake up. You go to work. You go home. You watch TV. You sleep. Repeat. You need a way out.
This is the 2016 Street Glide® Special. It is painted Charcoal Denim. It is not shiny. It does not sparkle. It is the color of a bruise that won't heal. It absorbs the light so you can disappear into the gray.
Flash. The High Output Twin Cam 103™ engine. It creates heat. It creates noise. It vibrates until your teeth chatter, until you remember that you are a biological organism and not just an employee ID number. Flash. The BOOM!™ Box 6.5 GT audio system. Turn it up. Louder. Until you can’t hear the world telling you to be safe. Until you can’t hear the silence of your empty apartment.
It has a batwing fairing. To cut the wind. To split the air. To separate you from the insects. It has hard bags. To carry your baggage. To carry your secrets.
You are not your job. You are not your bank account. You are the person riding this machine. Get on the bike. Twist the throttle. Let the road erase you.
Lucky Peach Harley-Davidson. Everything else is just copy.
