Quite possibly one of the worst

Warning: Spoilers
This episode may be fine for the casual viewer, but if you watch it repeatedly as I have, the almost constant shouts of 'Yeah Al', 'A'ight', and 'Woo-hoo' from the studio audience become as appealing as finger nails on a chalk board. In addition, there is nothing particularly spectacular about this episode. The canned laughter becomes very noticeable on some of the 'jokes' that did not even illicit a change of facial expression from me - much less laughter. The entire premise is Kelly buys a motorcycle and everyone tries to convince her to get rid of it. That could have only been compelling if the ways in which they tried to dissuade her were novel and hilarious - things we have come to expect from the brilliant writers of the show. The only saving grace of the episode were the clever jokes about Al being gay, and how he responded to them. Not every episode can be a winner, and I think the cast did a fine job as usual, but they simply weren't given much to work with. This is one you can definitely miss.

Al on wheels.
BA_Harrison20 December 2022
Al has had a bad day at work: the tall willowy brunette that he got excited about serving at the shoe store turned out to be a transvestite. While Al tries to convince Peggy and Kelly that he's not gay, Kelly becomes concerned that she is getting old; in an act of youthful rebellion, she buys herself a motorbike...

A rare decent episode from season seven, this one features some great dialogue for a change: worried that men find him attractive, Al asks Peggy 'how do you make them not want you?'; Bud fires a well-aimed put-down at waitress Kelly - 'I'll talk to you when I need a coke and fries'; and Marcy encourages Al to take the bike out for a spin because it is dangerous - 'Ride like the wind, wild one.' Peggy gets laughs by being interested in the motorcycle for its vibrations: after Al accidentally trashes the bike, his wife takes the seat and engine upstairs for her enjoyment.
