What the hell is with motorcycles.. I'm all for looking cool, having the wind blow in your hair (or maybe against your helmet) and cruising on a easy Sunday afternoon but there is NO reason why these aholes drive around a normal neighborhood with their exhaust pipes manipulated so that it sounds like you are standing inside of an airplane hanger.
I was talking to a guy who rides bikes the other day and he tried to make the case that the loud exhaust was so that you could be noticed on the highway. Now I understand these guys don't want to get run over by a semi-truck while on the road but this is not about that anymore. Yea you drive a Harley or some rice-rocket but it doesn't matter. I know you probably belong to your local ice-tea party or some hip-hop gang but you are also a menace to society. You are what is wrong with civilization, the thought of you getting run down by a semi actually sort of intrigues me.
These guys are the equivalent of the guys driving in their souped up Honda civic or the guys who decide it's necessary to blast terrible hip-hop out of their leased luxury cars as they roll down the streets of Brooklyn. They are antisocial schleps who are there to disturb the peace. This is the way that people who feel they don't have a loud enough voice can get one.
Now I'm not a total fuddy-duddy but this behavior is akin to taking out your big unit and pissing all over the sidewalk. Yeah people might not say anything as they might think you are some HIV riddled crack-head but you better believe that if you got hit by a bus there would be at least a couple of giggles in the crowd
