They were both in their respective shows so that people could laugh at them, not with them.

That's the motivations of the character, he was in a dress in a comedy so that people could laugh at him.

Fair enough, if you can get this one for near-free then it can fit the bill if you're determined and have the skills.

My baby is a 1980 Yamaha TY175 that was pulled from a shed and I custom built it into a full competition machine so I don't think I can criticise. It cost me about 5000€ in total, and still needs a couple of things, lol

It's a Rieju Tango, 10hp of mountain goat farm bike!

I've had lots of expensive, fast, or fancy bikes in the past, this one is the most fun

I have to admit that the best commute I ever had took 20 minutes by bicycle, mostly off road. Every morning I'd get to see wildlife, beautiful sunrises, fresh air, and all while I was getting fit. Wish I still had that :-/

Klinger wants to get classified as crazy by wearing dresses, which implies that wearing different clothes is a sign of mental illness. Herr Flick gets sexual gratification from wearing women's clothes, thus implying that wearing different clothes is something only a sexual deviant would do. Both of these stereotypes continue to be used to harm Trans women.

Mash and Allo Allo both have no shortage of jokes about cross-dressing and plenty of casual sexism. Fawlty Towers ... is also a product of it's time, any good parts get outweighed by the bad parts.

There's also an episode where Quark undergoes gender reassignment in order to close a deal, which is played for laughs and includes lines about women being sensitive because of their hormones. It sticks out because it's just horrible, while she show is generally good.

I can understand the allure, when it feels like you're pushing the envelope of whats possible with WOT on a screaming engine ... FWIW new Aprilia 125s don't make the same power (because 4 stroke, legal power restrictions, and emissions) but they do sound like a Moto GP bike when you keep them above 8K (they make no power below 7K). The local teenagers here love the Supermoto version, which can push the envelope in other ways ... namely backing it in while scraping the pegs. Also, they don't have to strip the bike apart every week just to keep moving like we did, lol

What more could anyone ask for?

Yeah, my local Caprabo (a modestly priced supermarket) used to have a whole aisle dedicated to olives and olive related stuff ... now the locals are getting priced out of it and the aisle is just a little section
