THE FART OF MOTORCYCLES (March 10, 2025)

How do I know that the tourist season is on? For better or worse, all I have to do is pay attention to the sounds around my house close to the top of the Motovun hill. And the fart of motorcycles is all I need to figure out that the tourist season is on once again. Amazingly, my fellow humans cannot imagine life without the loudest farts they can come up with. At this stage of evolution, motorcycles are their best choice. The very best, as a matter of fact. The louder, the more to their primate taste. And many a company that makes these toys is obviously in tune with the needs of their eager customers. Every imaginable fart is available for the aficionados around the globe: deep gurgle, long whine, sustained stutter… Even though I know next to nothing about motorcycles, let alone motorcyclists, I am confident that all of them go for the fart. The best fart on offer, that is. For what is life without farting?!
