Rossen uses this object, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, in memorial to the spirit of Blaman; an object often associated with brazen, independent, men.

Whether these descriptions and pieces of information are truth or fiction, this memorial gives Johanna the freedom to ride forever in legend as Anna Blaman- "Ben Liever Als Man"...." Via:
