49.9% of the people hate it when others make up statistics.

My bet's on Bella. That girl has control-freak written all over her.

When you see a house spread in Architectural Digest
or any similar magazine, it's invariably been heavily
styled. That means that a troop of stylists/designers
descends on the house bearing rental or loaner
furniture, art, accessories, and so on, radically
rearranges everything, lights the rooms with a zillion
candlepower of flashes or hot lights with huge
diffuser boxes, takes the pictures, and evacuates,
taking the loaners with them.

This is probably true of LANCE's house even though
they made heavy weather of his architects and designers
and so on. I can believe that he really does have all
that art on his walls, and that his living room does
look like that (even he said he'll use it maybe a dozen
times a year). But in reality, the excessive fussiness
you see is a combination of his actual taste and the
fact that Architectural Digest spreads show you a
simulation of an interior rather than a space anyone
actually lives in.

Since he has little kids, we can virtually guarantee
that there's at least one room in his house whose floor
is covered in an ocean of toys when not being
photographed.

By the way, the Danny Lyon photograph in the kitchen
near the sink is an extremely classic image, maybe a
little too well known, but still, somebody who picked
it had taste. It's the first picture here:

From an era when bikeriders weren't necessarily fat. Yet.

Michael Kenna would have been tres cooler. Or Friedlander. Lyons work
is important but too much of it looks like Robert Frank. I could sell
Lance some of mine, but he wouldn't buy because I'm unknown (aka a
nobody). His loss.

"Where's their helmets?" Yeah, whatever.

Anyway, that was an era when guys who rode those bikes did so because it meant
they really were on the perimeters of society, rather than because they think it
makes them "badass" or gives them "cred."

Wasn't a push a button and go, idiot friendly, poser activity then
either. I really have to wonder how many "bikers" today would still be
at it after the first time they either got smacked, or tossed by the
kickstarter? Nothing like rolling around on the ground, holding your
shin, and swearing while your buddies laugh at you and point out that
you forgot to retard the magneto, dumbass.
Besides, some of those bikes weren't H-D status symbols, they were
foriegn junk, and we all know that you aren't posin' right if you
aren't covered in the Motor Co. logo and paying WAY too much for
their, and only their "approved" stuff.
I still want a UL, or WL to putt around on, but that's even crazier
than the new priced stuff.
Cool is a knucklehead, or sidevalve, riding in a sprung post plunger
frame, belt primary, suicide shift, magneto ignition and girder up
front. Foot clutch, twist grip magneto advance, hidden cables, and
basic style brake levers on the bars, along with one of those cool
old, round, Brit, choke controls.
Regular width, bias ply replica tires, etc...That's cool shit. Not
real rideable/user friendly, but cool as hell. Out at the other end is
the Ducati 1098 which is WAY cool too.

I find it disquieting that you know this.

He got a flat with modern angular furniture, expensive shirts
and peace doves for pets so what do you expect.
