If memory serves right Germany was still using motorcycles right till the end of WW2 after a everything else ran out of fuel. Idk just seems weird for anyone to want a gas guzzler when better shit is available especially when you don't need it for anything else. Hell with how shit modern cars are and how expensive they are on top of that you could probably pay someone to build you a car if you supplied the frame for cheaper. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (1 child) With how shit modern cars are?

Ya kinda get used to tech advancing massively over time if not in form then in function that it's easy to forget that's not universally applicable, after all my Kbar isn't too different from a neolithic stone knife you could give it to a living Otzi and he'd know what it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) ...? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 months ago Yeah I don't know.
