I can understand people sticking with horses more than I can understand sticking with ICE cars. A horse is an animal with a personality, you might feel like it’s like losing a friend.
But why do people have so much sentimentality over having cars that have tailpipes?
I could swap my ice car for electric and I’d be fine and it wouldn’t bother me, but motorcycle engines actually do have personalities based on engine layout, cooling system, fueling methods (efi vs. carbs), transms etc, that I could never give up bikes for electric alternatives (also electric motorcycle makes literally zero sense if electric bicycle exists)
I have an electric bike for short trips but do enjoy driving my 6 speed car, and it’s 12 years old, paid off for 7 of those years. I cannot imagine it’s better to get another car and get rid of mine.
Can’t imagine I am unusual. It’s just a really big fleet and will take time to change.
And yeah this is probably my last but I will miss the vroom vroom and shifting the car myself.
