My thinking is that if a vehicle is going to be loud then it better be REALLY fucking cool.
And no, nobody thinks your Harley with loud pipes is really fucking cool.

At a place I used to live at there was a guy who would roar up the street on his Harley at 430ish every morning. Dead quiet and then a ruckus straight out of that South Park episode. You could tell he blew through the stop sign on the corner. I've never wanted to go string up a cable across the road so bad. It stopped abruptly at some point so maybe someone did just that.
Then my job here is done.Quote:

And the "My Harley is loud for safety reasons" is the stupidest argument ever. Is it possible that hearing a loud exhaust may alert a driver to your presence? Sure, I suppose. But so what? Should we have children wear sirens on their head when they walk to school. Maybe all cars should be really loud so everyone knows they're coming. Wouldn't that be safer?
People who make vehicles louder than they need to be do it because they think it's cool. They could give two shits about who it may annoy or disrupts. It's dumb and immature. And it's most certainly extremely rude and inconsiderate to the rest of us.
Oh, and it's also against the law in most places, but lucky for the dumb fucks the cops have more important things to do.
Cant you old karens just turn your hearing aids down?
Haha. I actually kinda think Harleys are ghey too unless they are old and chopped down. But those are the loud ones…
Buell café bike if it absolutely has to be a HD.
Nope, not even a Buell can be loud.
You build yourself a vintage jockey shift rat rod H-D cafe racer mongrel, then you are allowed to make it loud.
When I was 8, I used to put a playing card in the spokes of my bicycle to make it sound cool. People who buy after market exhausts are 8 yo me.
Im talking old school Buell. Not the newer mid-life crisis guy with too much money assembly line stuff. And ya, a rat rod with the jockey shift would be fucking cool. Which is pretty much an old school Buell.
In the spirit of this latest thread drift, my wife asked me what was the purpose of a loud truck with a large exhaust pipe belching black smoke. She had an encounter on the way home. I said it was to attract females and didn't it make her want to jump him on the spot? She as usual didn't listen to my response. She must have still been thinking of that guy and his truck. I need to get one so I can compete.

My wifes constant talking also drowns it out, but sometimes I wish I could turn up the tinnitus for a little while.

Get a fucking life
Twice in my life I've had the misfortune to eat at a restaurant near someone describing a surgical case they did. For the whole meal. I'd rather listen to someone describe their round of golf, and I hate listening to that. While we're at it, people who buy something at a crowded cafe and then spend hours with their laptop like it's their private office while other people try to find a place to sit and eat their lunch. I'm particularly thinking about Red Truck at the Truckee airport.
