- hellbannedguy 5y agoThere are scumbags out their whom will drop ball bearings out there vechicle on bikers they don't like. I friend whom told me about two incidents. I will never understand that behavior. In my life, the loud sound of a bike is my least concern. Plus, in my passive aggressive wealthy county, a loud bike is a F---you to my phony liberal hypocritical neighbors.
- ianai 5y agoYou should be treating people like people-not limited terms like “liberal“, “conservative”, or anything else. People are people. Ends unto themselves. Not means to an end, such as whatever calling someone liberal allows you to do and feel.
- NikolaNovak 5y agoA loud bike has the benefit of being a giant "f you, I'm an antisocial idiot" to pretty much all the innocent passerbies, race colour gender political affiliation OS preference aside :). It shows to others exactly what your post does so succinctly.
- EE84M3i 5y agoThat was my interpretation at first too, but their anecdote about being heard from inside a car leads me to believe they're talking about cars seeing/hearing them on the road for safety reasons.
- tartoran 5y agoIs that the reason they rev up their engines to the breaking point while standing in traffic?
- FlyingSaucer 5y agoThat's the biggest annoyance in my eyes. As a motorcyclist, i think its ok for the engine to make some noise (not counting the obnoxious cruisers or bike with some aftermarket exhausts), but there is truly no reason to rev up hard while sitting in traffic or in a slow central streets.
