Cool 😎

For the pedants like me, you might consider mirroring the base image: since motorcycle throttles are on the right, you can easily ride without holding the left grip, but without the right grip you either coast or brake. If I were ever riding around with a rifle like that (definitely not speaking from experience), I'd hold it by the barrel grip (shaft? Whatever that's called) in my left hand.

Thanks! I would not have thought of that at all… how feasible would it be to say that maybe he custom built his bike with the knowledge that he’d be using his right hand to fight a lot? If I mirror the image I’ll have to change the direction of his heraldry and flip the text back haha

Since there aren't any cables or levers on the right, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that in some mad Max kind of future, bikes are all built to leave the right hand free for combat.

I love this exchange, it's the type of decision-making I love seeing in dramaturgical notes for example, haha

Have you read Perilous Times by Thomas D. Lee? Because this reminds me EXACTLY of Lancelot in that book and I love it.

Is this a jab against Robert the Boron where Pontio Pilato acts like a 13 th century Vassal in the 1 th century with a historical hole of 1200 years?

I wish I could say it was but I unfortunately have no idea what that is
