Does this mean FreeBSD beat NetBSD to a motorcycle port? "Of course it runs NetBSD...except if it's a motorcycle"?

You know it's a shame they used a Motorcycle. You see, it's official now; Motortrend confirms it, Motorcycles are dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered cyclist community when Kawasaki Motors Corp confirmed the motorcycle marketshare has dropped yet again, now down to less than 18 percent of Americans owning a motorcycle. Coming on the heels of a recent Motortrend survey which plainly states that motorcycles have lost marketshare, this news serves to confirm what we've known all along. Cycling is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent frontal impact test.
You don't need to be David Hasselhoff to talk about motocycling's future. The piss is on the snow: cycling faces a dark future. There won't infact be any future at all for cyclists because the industry is dying. Things are looking very bad for cycling. As many of us are already aware, motorcycles continue to lose market share. Red ink flows like a moon cycle.
Harley-Davidson is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of the Easy Rider generation. The sudden and unpleasent departures of long time
Harley users Ricky L. Phillips and Gerald Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Motorcycling is dying.

You know what this means? That our motorcyclist has to drive cross country, fighting crime and solving mysteries with the aid of his deck. And for continuing adventures for one season, he has to pursue the M$ Bus of Mi$information, going by tips from strangers about bus sightings. Can anyone here say, Hassellhoff?

Well, at least you won't be getting a blue screen of DEATH!
FreeBSD powered motorcycle? What balderdash. This thing still requires gasoline, same as most other bikes.
Now maybe it's FreeBSD-enabled, or perhaps its computer control system is run on FreeBSD...
I understand that it's knit-picky, but sometimes slashdot headlines sound really silly.
