Motorcycling has always attracted the contrarian like a moth to the flame. Independent and sometimes revolutionary ideologues like Che Guevara have used it as a vehicle to test their idea on wheels.

And then there's a bunch of questions about her marriage on wheels, the pilot in her heart and Magucho where she now also wearing the entreprenuer's hat.
