Not to mention the stereos cranked up to 11. Rarely classic rock, and everyone can hear it a block away except the rider. | |||

Finally, someone gets it... There are idiots in all aspects of our lives, soccer moms who drive looking at their phones with their kids in the car, BMW drivers who think ever street is the autoban, Ricers with fart box mufflers, and yes some bikers have extremely loud pipes. If you ride long enough you will see people look right at you and yet not see you. They will make left turns right in front of you, whats best, just crash into them or lay the bike down and try to have at least a little control of your future. Like the guy who ditched in the Hudson, a real long shot but it was a better chance than just crashing...Yes there are idiots in all walks of life... 60 | |||

Why does anyone NEED a car or suv with 5-600hp? _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

They don't. Most people don't NEED anything more than a Toyota Corolla or Subaru Impreza and NO one NEEDS a motorcycle. (A whole lot of people want them though.) No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Nobody needs a gun with more than 6 bullets.... I get the dislike of the loud pipes, Hhowever it's not HD that are the worst it's the monkey fucking a football sport bike racer wannabees with $2000 Asstropoovic pipes that shreek so loud it will blow out your ear drums that are the worst.. HD loud pipes are quiet compared to these riders. Louder pipes have kept cars off me that were moving over into my lane right on top of me, motorcycle horns are not that loud, but people to react to the louder exhaust. As for the loud aholes at a stoplight revving the engine, the make of the motorcycle isn't relevant, Douch bags ride all kinds... | |||

On my street, it's not motorcycles, but pickup trucks. I just assume they are compensating for something they lack. ================================================ Ultron: "You're unbearably naive." Vision: "Well, I was born yesterday." | |||

At a BMW motorcycle rally a while back a few ladies were wearing T-shirts that read "The louder the bike the smaller the penis". I guess it could apply to trucks as well. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Exactly. You don't need loud pipes, you want them. And that's alright. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

DO you really expect a commercial yard business to use a broom? Should they go back to non motorized lawn mowers too??? | |||

Never understood the fascination some riders have with (or even having the slightest notion of being ok with) "layin' it down." "Yeah, I had to lay 'er down." Uh huh. Let's see...you wrecked to avoid wrecking. Ridiculous. Laying the bike down is not having a little control of your future. It's giving up and turning your future over to physics. You have a much better chance of controlling your future with the tires on the ground. Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||

Yes, those are getting seriously obnoxious also, especially the guys with diesel pickups with trucker pipes stick up above the cab, and then they add some kit to it where it'll blow extremely thick black smoke out of them! First one of those I ever saw was over near Athens, GA a few years back, but they're starting to show up here in north Alabammy now... ____________________________ Bill R.

Me? In quiet neighborhoods, fuck yes use a broom and just leave most of the grass clippings where they are rather than blowing them out on the street. If they feel they MUST use blowers be considerate and use battery ones that are not nearly so loud. Modern 6hp gas mowers aren't so obnoxious and IMO battery ones would be appropriate doing small yards in tight developments. But lawn crews that trailer in 30hp stand-on, seen their better days, loud ass, mowers, are simply inconsiderate. To them it's all about them, hell with what others feel. No different than loud cars and motorcycles. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||
