RUB's with loud pipes suck
So we were eating lunch at our local favorite, Las Olas, on the 101 Coast highway in Cardiff. It's a hot day and most folks are enjoying the sea side breeze on the ocean facing deck in front. I am astounded by the number of RUBs that roar past on the 101 with seemingly uncorked exhausts. There is a stop light directly in front of the place and these clowns are pegging their throttles and setting off car alarms as they pull off with each light change. I'm starting to second guess the decsion to sit outside but my beer and machaka burrito arrive so settle in with the family. The gathering is suddenly disrupted and all hell breaks loose as the 20 or so RUBs who were eating in the back fire up their hogs, idle out to the front where we're all enjoying the day, repeatedly bliping their throttles while waiting for the stragglers before rumbling on out. 10 minutes of incredible noise before they get their crap together and head out. Everyone literally had to stop talking until these clowns left.
WTF? The police regularly run stings against the sport bike crowd. What about these dudes with clearly illegal exhausts? Perhaps a few bikes need to visit the crusher courtesy of the PD?
