Those Harleys and the obnoxious noise they make - a rant

[Mule]

This is so stupid. The loudest vehicle on earth is the space shuttle, top fuel is second. I love top fuel. I don't want that sound in my neighborhood though. My suggestion to all the guys that feel like more of a man by annoying their neighbors is to put a hand full of Miracle Grow in their drawers and maybe they wont need to pester their neighbors with that annoying noise.

Good point on it being italian, although, I think the germans are just as expensive.

That sucks on the ticket. Around here, they usually cut you a break too.

Around here you can park on sidewalks in front of stores. Because the heat and sunlight are so intense, they understand we need covered parking.

But, your lack of safe riding knowledge or skills set is also quite self evident, from your statement "whether or not any safety course mentions loud pipes as a safety feature or not is irrelevant" , you are dismissing a knowledge base much greater than your own.

Another wanker who thinks that a lack of knowledge and skill is made up for by being loud and obnoxious.

Did I say that the only safety skill I employ is being loud and obnoxious? no, i did not. I have taken everything I have learned from safety courses and added to it over the years from experience...

Somebody above had mentioned that loud pipes dont help to keep you safe, backing that statement up by mentioning that safety courses don't mention it.

Im sure that along with loud pipes, there are many things a safety course doesnt tell you about safe riding and Im pretty sure that safety courses do not want to provide students with a false sense of security. I was arguing that point. My point being that they dont "make you safe" but they may in fact help. Obviously one must never depend on loudness to keep one safe

You obviously wanted to argue that I am wrong, and in the process of doing so, felt it important to make wide sweeping generalities about harley riders who have no brains because they have chosen to ride bikes that are not "high performance" and because they dress funny which even to me who is not a harley rider, is insulting and immature

Fine, you dont buy the loud pipes save lives argument and you dont like loud bikes. In my own personal experience, my loudness has saved me several times and the sound of my bikes gives me a boner and therefore, I will continue to use my race pipe on my bike because I like it. Screw you and whoever else feels the need to cry about it.

You know nothing about my knowledge of safety or riding skills except from what you have poorly interpreted from a few of my posts

We are all unsurprised that loud pipes give you a boner.

Now also, we all now the level of thought that you apply to other people.

Congradulation on being the first self confessed wanker on PPOT!

My truck is quiet but weighs about 5000#s. Advantage, truck.

[crustychief]

The law of gross tonnage. I say to each his own, so far my taste in performance exhaust doesn't ruffle my neighbors feathers. Just a low pitched rumble that doesn't shatter the earth but puts a smile on your face

[johnco]

2 6ft and 2 4ft savard speakers in my house,. harley with straight pipes, diesel with glasspacks. 37chevy, 60 chevy, 62 olds with dual exhaust glasspacks. weedeater and blower you can hear a block away. that lawnmower of mine. wow!. and sometimes I fart pretty loud. I thought I was shy and all this time I actually only craved attention by making loud noises. feels so good to finally have this explained to me. can't imagine how horrible it is to those having to hear such racket all those seconds it takes me to get out of hearing range. guess it's time to get mufflers, open an beer, pull up my rocking chair with everyone else and yell at the losers with loud pipes. except those plastic clad Transformer motor bikes with Japanese, Italian and German names sounding like enraged killer bees driving down my street at 90 in a 25 mph zone because they handle so great or those with custom exhausts on their Porsche. man those are so cool!!!!!!!

Too bad we can't just gather up all the hand wringing ninnie whiney candy ass pussy spoiled brats who are oh so concerned with every little thing that may possibly annoy them, and put them all in one place. They would probably wind up killing each other. The whinier of the lot would whimper things like "can't we all just get along?", and preach "tolerance", but only as far as things that don't bother them. The more zealous of the lot would form and join the home owners' associations, and crawl around with flashlights and rulers in the middle of the night measuring each others' lawns. Complaints would be filed on top of complaints, and little poindexter busy bodies would have a field day enforcing their insignificant little rules.

Oh wait - we have. It's called upper middle class suburbia. And it's whiners like the ones chiming in here that have turned many such places in the "Stepford Wives" hell they are today.

My dear departed old man taught me that real men don't whine and complain. Seems to be a shortage of those these days...

Yeah, we could get them together with all the limp "Edited - language removed, Z-man", wanna bees that paid way too much for a slow, overweight, ill handling piece of "Edited - language removed, Z-man" in the hopes that it would get them some young, good looking "Edited - language removed, Z-man" for the first time in their lives. The posers could deck out in all their costumery and everybody could admire their "hey look at me" finery.

[billwagnon]

My old man tried to tell me something at his house on the river the other day, but he had to wait until all the obnoxious motorcycles went by, having their obnoxious noisy fun, every nice day.

It was awesome and peaceful and wonderful when the river flooded this summer and the two-year old tyke "I gotta be heard" crowd took their anal-expulsive fart machines elsewhere for a couple weeks.

[911boost]

Another retarded generalization by the Mule. How do you know everyone overpaid?

Don't you drive a Mistu Evo?

[911boost]

On a side note, the loudest motorcycle I have ever heard belongs to a coworker, and its a Honda VTX 1800.

So all you pussies that are saying every loud bike is a HD, should pull your heads out, your are going to get a brown stain on your necks.

[Mule]

Take two evo motors. Weld them together. Turn the engine so it faces correctly, put the drive wheels where they belong. Ahh never mind.

[911boost]

So by your logic, since you drive an Evo, you are a punk street racer. Everyone that buys one of those cars puts a fart can on it and illegally street races.

Oh wait, thats a generalization.

[Mule]

No Evo 928 S4

I never gave a pass to ANY loud street vehicles, so I don't give a pass to any European or Asian motorcyles either. Loud street vechicles are obnoxious and unwarranted, except to give wankers a hardon (i.e. see "srandallf").

Seems to me you are the one whinning now. Maybe that "real men" thing isn't working for you so well?

[ramonesfreak]

yea, except wankers like me

i wish to god you lived next door to me RPKESQ, between my Fender Twin Reverbs connected in stereo on 10, and my D&D race can, I would have my jollies getting your dial 9-1-1 finger some exercise that doesnt involve rubbing that clit between your legs
