No, your loud motorbike engine isnt cool, its LAME

[joe guy]

Aww I think it was a 91 or so r6 that never had he exhaust replaced and the glad pack was gone that bike was so fast scary fast at times lol
My buddy that had 07 gixer and was jealous that my bike was louder than his yoshi lol god I miss my bike but I was stupid on it and started knocking the wife up and seen that pecker picture and had to give it up.
Living in Cali bikes are a death sentance with all the suits and soccer moms driving with one eye closed and the other texting their BFF ..
Some day ill get me a chopper once I find out if my crazy son will live to breed lol we are the last of us...

 

[mrcreosote]

Long dual straight pipes on my 35 y.o. Harley sound just right.

They're only loud to the guy behind me and who gives a fuck about him?
Seriously.
Let him buy some nice lawnmower mufflers on his bike.

 

[Jbomber79]

man I love to see a nice bike but seriously it's ridiculous!

 

[Skinny Leaf]

What is the fascination of revving the bike up while going under the freeway underpasses? Its loud enough without the reverb of the concrete underpass. We can hear ya.

 

[Jbomber79]

REV it up

REV it up

Halarious! I can F*&*King hear ya!! or like when they rev in a one street town, do ya want the cops to notice you?

 

[noyd666]

Yeah....I know what you mean Pheno....I have an American IronHorse Slammer with a big S&S engine on it.....and when I start that up the neighbours seem to take notice....lol

I know your having a little fun here so I won't take it to seriously.


Here in Florida the "near deads" are jealous that most riders have a longer lease on life and will do anything to change it, the others are just oblivious... And could give two shits if they run you over as long as they get that text sent.
So I really hope that my "Big Twin" running through dual Hookers ANNOYS THE SHIT OUT OF YOU and everyone else on the road, I mean just rattles the fillings right out. My hopes are that my extremely bright headlights give all that witness it a migraine of epic proportions......I'm not really even kidding here, I have nothing but contempt for all the POS's in the death cages.
Get to close and I'll toss a 7/8' nut (or a fucking chain) at your windshield.....and then DARE you to look at me at a light.....fucking dare you....walk up on me and you'll discover what Florida Gun laws are about, though I've really never needed one.

Can ya' tell I've lost some close friends to self righteous assholes....

So to answer your question.....YES,.... unfortunately yes.

I used to carry D cell batteries for the tailgaters.

A schmuck in a Jaguar ran a stop sign in Scarsdale NY one day causing me to drop my TourGlide to avoid being hit, at the next stop light that he couldn't avoid I got off my bike and busted out his rear window with my helmet, I knew the fucking helmet laws in NY would come in handy some day.

On road trips (<--- solo camping trips) my old taped up tent box actually held a 12 gauge street sweeper, to discourage ambitious cops I carried the receipt from when I bought it new.

Not a motorbike, but there is an arsehole over the road who drives a Skyline, and boy does he love revving that fucking ridiculous engine. He's constantly fucking with it, revving it in the driveway, and when he starts it up in the morning, he leaves it running for 5 minutes to warm up. He does laps around the block for no fucking reason at all. You can hear the damned thing before it even turns into our street.
I have been a pubes breadth away from squirting some expanding PU foam up his exhaust pipe. He woke one of the neighbours babies, revving the thing at 1am last summer, and then verbally abused the mother when she complained. Dick.

I still do! But for the morons who've TRIED to hit me whilst sharing lanes, ONLY....

i.e. - Making eye contact in their side rear view, THEN steering into my lane while I'm splitting at over 100 mph.... Those are the asshats who've gotten D batteries in their respective windshields....

Only happened twice, the batteries, but more than that have certainly deserved said treatment..... It's just that I'm too busy avoiding a wreck (and certain death) that I don't always have time to chuck one, or ten...

Who ever said their 91 r6 was badder than an 07 GSXR? HUH?? Your pal didn't know how to ride? I mean, COME ON!

Great thread!

 

[dansbuds]

here we go again !!!! can't we just agree to disagree !!! we all have our opinions on the loud pipes thing . let it go man !!!

 

[joe guy]

No he was a better rider his was just a beat down police repo he got for few hundreds bucks and mine had some pretty nice carbs one for each piston lol it was a mother ucker gettin all four inline and running tits..
But after all Iam a grower not a mechanic lol... Just bought it and scared the shit out myself

 

[noyd666]

on a quieter note.

 

[joe guy]

Oh yeha and I didn't say it was badder just louder my r6 to his 750...

 

[blue green]

I like how the Biker gangs like to look tough with their black jackets and whatever....

To me it looks like they are dolled up for a night at the Blue Oyster bar.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I don't see why they have to bolster whatever egos a small penis can buy with such a flatulently loud and annoying experience expelled into strangers' faces and lungs.

I do know that if you feign interest and laud them with praise for such a lovely ear raping you just experienced they will show you exactly how shallow their thrills go.

I've often heard it said that the loud noise prevents drivers from neglecting to notice anybody dumb or insane enough to be riding such a deathtrap.

It seems to me that they aren't undertaking anything remotely safe and putting others at risk, and on top of that, becoming insistant upon us hearing the volume of their stupidity.

If you want to ride safely do it with your spouse in the bedroom, flying down the road with nothing but a helmet and a leather jacket with something ridiculously embarrasing written on it is just asking for the death of you and others behind you swerving into trees to avoid your scattering coolness.

edit: wow, i can't believe this forum censors "C U N T". shame.

It's amazing that we have anyone from the UK here typing legible sentences... I don't know how they could say anything without that word.

Americans would be lost if we couldn't use the word "fuck"... then again so would the UK

Big tough guy lives to hate everyone that dares to drive a car, but especially the elderly...

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

just wait till you're almost 50!

honestly...it's "the call of the wild". my palms start sweating and heartbeat increases, pupils dilate, sphincter factor dictates a response...
throw a leg over, twist out a few rips, point it downrange, and smile...

that's cooool....and it's gotta be loud.

road tripping across the country on a motorcycle is a great experience. there is a huge difference between driving by it passively in a car and, really being in the countryside while on a motorcycle. Th motorcycle journey really does invoke that call of the wild and feeling of freedom. cant replicate that in care.

For anyone that has not or can not experience that at least do your self a favor and read Zen and The Art of motorcycle Maintenance. It's not about fixing your bike. It is about a journey through mind and the country.

The book describes, in first person, a 17-day journey on his motorcycle from Minnesota to California by the author (though he is not identified in the book) and his son Chris, joined for the first nine days by close friends John and Sylvia Sutherland. The trip is punctuated by numerous philosophical discussions, referred to as Chautauquas by the author, on topics including epistemology, ethical emotivism and the philosophy of science.

Many of these discussions are tied together by the story of the narrator's own past self, who is referred to in the third person as Phaedrus (after Plato's dialogue). Phaedrus, a teacher of creative and technical writing at a small college, became engrossed in the question of what defines good writing, and what in general defines good, or "quality". His philosophical investigations eventually drove him insane, and he was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy which permanently changed his personality.

Another great one that is new, and is not fiction is Jupiter's Travels.

Jupiter's Travels is a book by Ted Simon which narrates his four-year journey through 126,000 km across 45 countries on a Triumph Tiger 100 500 cc motorcycle[1] from 1973 to 1977.[2] His book was first published in English in 1979.

it's only a death trap because dumbass drivers dont pay attention.

read those books i recommended. I think it will help you understand.

 

[zeke99]

Zen? Is that what they call hating everyone that drives a car especially the elderly? Is that what they practice in those temples in Japan?
