A Motorcycle Diary

Today I was at the clothing show at the Ex and I noticed a chopper in the parking lot. Now like so many custom bikes, this one had a "theme" to it. But one that I have never seen or imagined before. I am now able to say that I have beheld the Che Guevara chopper. It was in red and black with Che's iconic face on the gas tank as well as his signature in chrome.

I really don't know what to say. There is so much Che-imagery and I'm sure his face has made many capitalists rich, but this is a new level in the realm of conspicuously consuming a revolutionary.
