Ok, it's cranky-uncle time again.
OK, it's cranky-uncle time again. This issue's special theme is the 7 Deadly Sins, and Sloth caught my interest because of its relevance in an age where everything is turned up to 11. Let's rewind a bit. When I was miraculously accepted as a Motoring team member in 2003, the most sophisticated feature on my mobile phone was that it rang. I didn't own a computer, and the one assigned to me in the office had a dazzling new OS called Windows XP; it was connected to the internet via a wire. Almost everything I read, for research or pleasure, was printed on paper.

HISTORY CHANNEL
When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
