Entertaining Blackwing read

This blog post is from a couple of months ago now, but I think it's well written and a great take. Didn't find it on here so I figured I would post for anyone else to enjoy.

Avoidable Contact #98: Suddenly, it’s 1976!

A little excerpt - "Think of it as a one-man stand against mediocrity, cowardice, me-too-iguana thinking. If you’re going to ride off into the sunset someday, this is the way to do it."

I remeber reading this a while back. I like the bit about men like fire and noises lol "the heart wants, what the heart wants, or else it doesnt care."

I've always liked Baruth's writing, and this is a great example of it! Although, he seems a bit confused by position and options- conflating ~$35K worth of track gear, big brakes, and carbon fiber with added luxury? And, comparing it to a G90 is like dinging Triumph for not giving the Daytona the luggage capacity of the Gold Wing.

I thought Avoidable Contact had died when he left R&T... Thanks for the find.

I read that one a few months ago too, good piece. Baruth fan here too, I let my R&T subscription lapse when he left.
