Every time I hear a group of 'Easy Rider wannabes" drive by on their two wheeled too loud butt vibrators I reflect upon the old saw, "Loud pipes save lives."

I'm calling BS.

If these guys were indeed serious about preserving life, they would be wearing something on their heads besides a black plastic beanie and something more than jeans and a black T shirt on their corpulant carcasses. In addition, they would be in a position on the machine which gave them better control options.

Basically it is a "Look at me! I'm a really bad ass biker"
It is the adult equivalent of a piece of cardboard flapping against the spokes of your bicycle.

Come on people, get some gear that will protect you when you come off, preferably with enough high visability characteristics which will allow other drivers to at least see you. Sit up straight on the machine so you can control it properly.
And put a working muffler on the darned thing.
I'm tired of sharing your fantasies.

Best
