Loud pipes and the knuckle dragging morons that use them

PM when you need the street address.

 

Said by me, to HarleyDude..insistently blipping his FatBoy (downtown Helen GA about 10 yrs ago).."Will it not idle properly"?? Yeah it will...."Then how about let it".....he looked at me like I said him Mum was a Cunt....but he didn't blip it again, at least not till he was away from me...My wife and I were on our UltraClassic...LOL

 

This is the motorcycle equivalent of...

Person A: "Would you like a mint/gum?" (while offering)

Person B: "No, I'm good."

Person A: "You need to take it."

 

My neighbor just acquired a late 90s Harley. Really clean bike that had some kind of zoomie exhaust.
He was switching it out for a supertrapp looking setup that looked like a custom fabbed ducati system. I ran back to my tool box to grab some supplies to help! After we got it installed...he was blipping the throttle on the advice of a friend who said the fuel injection needs to adapt. (it has a carb...lol). Same helpful guy had bicycle pedals for foot pegs. Is this really a thing?

 

Had about 20 sport bikes go by our house, which is a 35mph street in a residential area, revving the piss out of their bikes at 11pm last night. Bikelyfe or some crap like that is what they call themselves. Gives all sport bike riders a bad name.

Another pet peeve of mine is when the group of Harley riders feel the need to block an intersection when they are going through it. Yesterday I had to sit and wait, on a green turn arrow, because some asshat was blocking the turn lane while his buddies drove through the light. The crazy part is we were all traveling on a 4 lane road in the same fricking direction!

 

I can’t stand that shit. I see modern sportbikes doing it all the time.

I like the sound of a bike as it “naturally” goes by (meaning an appropriate rev range for the circumstances). But assmunchers who blip at red lights, or ride around town at 10k RPM get on my nerves.

 

I live near a college and that shit goes on all the time here. Crotch rocket jockeys and Hardleys ripping up and down the main road at full bore, blipping the throttle at red lights and banging if off the red limiter every chance they get.

I just sit back and laugh wondering if they realize how bad they are abusing their engines. Livengood would cringe at the sight/sound of it.

 

I always downshift and wail on it when I ride by your house. Now imma have to bounce it off the red limiter for ya when I come by late at night!

 

I love the sound of a twin at full song, especially a priller! I4's just sound like someone is chocking a flock of geese, it's just noise... for some reason race bikes don't bother me a bit and I actually love the sound of them at a track racing. Its just a different tone even though I know that sounds crazy.

 

How do you chock a flock of geese?

 

Man... same shit on Victory PKWY by my house... that little straight from Eden Park to McMillan. Every evening shitty straight pipes on damn Sportbikes...

My street bike has a loud pipe but through side country with lots of houses I put it in 6th and drive 50. Or just pull in the clutch and you cant even hear it.

 

This.... And that shitty tubing is a joke up there... Took my Kids 10 Years ago and walked more in the creeks than floated...

 

what was the kerker on , that will tell the tale.

 

That town looks like a tourist hell hole.
