Needs Help: Everythings Better With Motorcycles

Spinning this off from the Garnishing the Story cleanup thread. Of all the "Everything's Better With X" snowclone tropes, I think Everythings Better With Motorcycles is at once the worst defined trope on the list and also the easiest to fix with only 44 wicks.

To wit, the description is downright anaemic (and spoiler tags above the line), most of the examples are zero context, it never went through YKTTW, and what fully fledged out examples there are on the page are basically "motorcycles exist" or "motorcycles are cool". The former is Not A Trope, the latter is covered by Cool Bike and Badass Biker.

I think we should just cut this completely for all the reasons mentioned. Given the number of inbounds, I would redirect it to Cool Bike.
