You aren’t really reading are you? You just spewing bullshit hoping something sticks. Read, really read the thread this time, and then reply.
Here, I will explain it for you since you seem to be simple. I was making a joke to MOL. See a few posts down where I said I put baffles on the bike. Since you either didn’t read or just don’t know, baffles quiet the pipes.
I am sorry I brought up the loud pipes, I don’t have, nor do I endorse the use of excessively loud exhaust on motorcycles or any other vehicle for that matter. It was a fucking joke.
So wipe the Cheetos crumbs off your underbritches, go upstairs and ask your mom if you can stay up later, and then read the thread. If you need help with the big words, I am sure that someone here can help you, if you can’t figure out how to use Google. Dumpass.
Read the fucking thread yourself. I wasn’t the only one you whooshed. I apologize for not catching you were kidding.
However you were quoting an argument of the jackass who woke me up from my nice Sunday nap might have used. The product of of goat rape had a radio on full blast so he could hear it over his defective pipes. You understand why I might be a bit hostile, yeah?
Also, you know “dumppass” is regional slang? You look dyslexic to a world that thinks you meant “dumbass”. FYI.
I’m feeling all your (hearing) pain. I live close to Route 66 where they have motorcycle races twice a year - on the track. All the others happen on the street, late at night. The only buffer between me and the street is about to be razed so they can straighten out a curve. DUH - I figure that this will only perfect the street racing I applaud those who try to lessen the noise factor in residential/suburban areas. Thanks.
And therein lies the problem with most biker types: that go fuck yourselves attitude. But it’s fake attitude, isn’t it. When they take off their German WWII helmets and their leathers and put on their office attire, they’re just about as un-rebellious and milktoast as they come. So they’re really just about making a lot of noise to annoy people, showing some attitude, and having nothing to back it up. It’s pretty pathetic.
There’s one guy around here who seems only to ride around in circles around the block because you hear him, it goes slowly away and then vrroooom it’s back again.
It’s very weird. Like he’s afraid to ride it off our very quiet suburban block.
If I ever get that sweet little Vespa I’ve been dreaming of, I promise not to trick it out with asshole pipes.
With whom did you consult to arrive at this compromise? Nobody, most likely?
You deciding how much of an asshole you get to be and everybody else lives with it isn’t compromise, little buckaroo. Do you also compromise this way on how much you talk in movie theaters, fart in elevators, and other common annoyances?
I sympathize for those folks who get woke up on a lazy sunday morning. I really do. This is why I keep it quite when I’m in my neighborhood.
As for those people who want to cry because they had to deal with a few seconds of loud noise while they were sitting at a redlight on a Wednseday afternoon? Boo hoo cry me a fuck’n river.
What about the people in neighborhoods other than yours, Silly Billy? Aren’t they entitled to the basic courtesy of not having their peace disturbed by your noisy ride? Pretty sure I remember you in a previous thread on this same topic. Seems like you were a defensive Whiny Wilma in that one too. It seems almost as if you want to behave like an asshole but want us to tell you it’s okay for you to be that asshole. My guess is that just isn’t going to happen, slugger.
come on, you can tell us the truth…as you ride your two wheeled noisemaker, you secretly believe people on the street watch you go by in awe of your coolness. You even steal glances out of the corners of your eyes trying to catch one admiring you, don’t you?
I don’t know where you live, but in S Cal you are out of your mind. For the most part, our windows are rolled up and the radios/CDs/tapes are going, so we aren’t going to hear your pipes until you are pretty much right next to us. And if you time it just right, you’ll startle the driver and you’ve got a 50/50 chance that he won’t startle into you instead of away from you.
No matter where you live, if you are in traffic, those asshole pipes are going to echo around so drivers aren’t going to know where you are until you are on top of them anyway.
You know what is safer for a rider? Paying attention and not expecting others to save your life. Assholes, both riders and pipes, cause trouble on the road, and bikes lose in those situations.
(Never have figured out why it’s legal for bikes to make all that noise when cars can’t.)
I have near silent pipes, even reving the engine barely makes any noise.
I feel safe in traffic because YOU can see me, I am very visible due to colors, lights, flash etc. You will not see me drive up between your cars or pass with little room to spare or slow down 300 yards before a red light because I don’t want to put my feet down.
I ride a quiet motorcycle, too. Loud bikes and rude bikers irritate me. On the other hand, loud pipes and truck nuts make it easy to identify the immature and/or retarded. So there is that.
Nah, just don’t put loud pipes on your bike. It’s just common courtesy if your hobby is riding. If your hobby is disturbing the peace, however, . . . .
LOL, seriously, if you want to call me names, please use names like “Jack ass” or “Dick head” etc.
Anyway, I don’t ride through anyboby’s neighborhood except my own. Where do you get that I have this burning desire to be an asshole? Is it simply for the fact that I own loud pipes?
I bought the pipes because I liked the way they looked on my bike. Not because they were loud and I thought they would save my life. Because that would be asinine.
That’s your armchair theory. All I have to offer is my own personal experience. No, this isn’t proof, far from it. Just saying, that’s what I’ve noticed. And like I said above, having loud pipes so people wouldn’t run over me wasn’t my impetus for buying the pipes. I just thought they looked cool.
As far as the ride safely thing goes, I agree. 20+ years of riding and I haven’t been run over yet.
I applaud those who try to lessen the noise factor in residential/suburban areas. Thanks.
