In 2117 while Pablo Ramirez was wandering the streets of Los Angeles, he saw a man riding an ancient Harley motorcycle. Schools, the Net, TV, video vidgames, priests and avatars all declared that adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere was a crime and/or a sin. Nevertheless, all who saw him thought it was awesome.

The Rider was a black man with a gleaming Fritz hat for a helmet and had dyed his beard red, white and blue in a similar matter to the American flag. His bike was chrome-plated and thundered as he sped down the street. He also carried an obsolete, chrome-plated AK-47 slung on his back.
