" (Presuming of course only the pictures interest you; yawning through the rest)"
On the contrary, you've pretty much nailed it, excluding the pictures of course, so I have little to add/comment on.
As to the pictures: The Cat I have known a long time and I love her dearly. The bike is entirely wrong for me personally. The bike is entirely fake, it looks like an old Indian but fails to make the grade. This makes it perfect to use here since the bike user won't get far without a license plate, the exhaust tips will scrape and bruise unsuspecting legs in the summer, the bike won't turn at high speed, the engine vibration will render it's rider sterile, and the Ape Hanger will wear out the user prematurely; exactly what happened to so many no longer among us. For something to personify Steemit as we would like it to be, we'd need something like a Honda Goldwing for long distance cruising.
"if even only in the Wings"
Even the older Goldwings are superior long distance cruisers, AND, there is comfortable room for a passenger which is very important to me these days. The picture of the lone Cowboy riding off into the sunset is overrated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Gold_Wing
