The synergy of riding a high performance motorcycle is a step in the right direction. It's a dragon that you merge with and harness, even with it's claw buried in your chest. Better than sex, far, far better. Searing sensuality and full engagement.

Cyborg rights activist speaks out
Quote:Mann became famous in the 1990s for roaming the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus as a graduate student outfitted with chunky glasses that augmented his vision, a bulging, hip-mounted PC that boosted his memory, and an antenna that broadcast whatever he saw to the Internet. Since then, Mann has slimmed his "eyetap" apparatus down to a more manageable size and has purchased a former Toronto nightclub to use as a home, a design laboratory and a tech-art gallery.
