Not mine. I have a 4 stroke and it’s one of the quietest out there. In fact, some people complain you hear the track too much. I hate loud pipes on sleds too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thing is I like motorcycles in general concept. I just don’t like that they are used as ego boosters ... I don’t like how those in ‘the look’ are supposed to personify this non conformed care free image ... yet they care enough to go out of their way to affect an image - you’re a hypocritical full-of-yourself asshole trying to force people to give you attention. Nothing else. I can’t trust other drivers, either. And I have to admit every time I am immediately behind a motorcyclist some part of my internal monologue, says “oh f* now I got to deal with this guy”. It shouldn’t be any different than any other vehicle but I’m sorry it just is when you see that person exposed like that… I don’t know I just don’t want to give people yet additional reason to have internal monologue about me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda cool to see cuz I like dirt bikes and ATVs but it is a little reckless. There are places for them. Not down busy city streets or in public parks or next to my property on state land. I’ve never called the cops on them but I wish they were respectful of neighbors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Personal lesson from the pandemic .I really don't miss social interaction with people I don't want to interact with. All ahead forward. Its ovah First game for my womens softball team is Monday, looking forward to getting on the field hitting infield practice again for the first time in 3 years for me due to the back injury and then the Vid. Free concerts happening again as well. Woot woot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I've seen those dudes on bikes like that. I just want to stick a piece of wood out and see what happens. I generally hate people on bikes. From those stupid crotch rockets to Harley's. Noisy AF and annoying. Not to mention that love to sneak by you in between lanes in traffic. Last time I checked, driving over the dashed line in between cars, wasn't a lane. I've purposely moved over to block them from doing that in traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 8 hours ago, PhineasC said: If you haven't seem them in an urban environment, it can be hard to explain. They are not like bikers cruising on a country road. They are on dirt bikes and ATVs, no helmets, popping wheelies, swerving all over the road. Traffic has to come to a standstill while they pass. I have seen it so many times it doesn't fluster me at all. I am not trying to be a Karen over it; people in Baltimore do crazy stupid shit all day every day. This is one of their milder outlets, honestly. There is also a darker side behind it involving theft of bikes and ATVs and basically what amounts to a black market chop shop environment. It is what it is. Better than murdering each other, I think. Popping wheelies Priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly from people who are in routine testing protocols. I’ll say it again. It’s from viral particles in the nose that’s not infectious to them or anyone else. Bill Maher tested positive today as part of routine testing for his show taping. He’s fully vaccinated and he said he feels fine. For all I know I could test positive if I tested everyday. Doesnt mean I’m sick or contagious. This whole PCR testing thing really needs to end. violently agree. stop the madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarshall Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 At this point masks are a social commentary on society. We've gone well past any scientific merit. Youth lacrosse outdoor mask count last night. Coaches 0. Kids 25% Parents 25% . Parents driving around town with masks on alone in their cars: shockingly high. I find the whole thing fascinating.

Exactly. I've never understood the attraction to noise makers like that. Cans don't even improve performance on sleds. And it does annoy me that other loud crap doesn't get the same treatment as sleds do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Has the creator of the dog coin come out and made any statement about all of this? Is there any plan to actually make this something other than a Reddit joke? It's interesting watching these coins generate real cash based on meme power alone.

Phin I can't believe youd stomp all over their personal freedoms like that Common sense? Compassion? Maybe a touch of selfishness: A couple years back a young man who used to go to our church was doing a wheelie with a heavy bike when the back wheel caught on the pavement and flipped the machine on top of him. No helmet, brain damage, coma for weeks, they had to remove part of his skull, PT for months. His recovery was almost miraculous but a few days ago he fell down stairs (I'm guessing his earlier injuries contributed) and his right side now isn't working right. I think all that medical treatment runs well into 6 figures, maybe 7, and its bottom line comes from my insurance and yours. I'm not a fan of loud bikes either. Aren't you a big time snowmobiler? They are pretty loud too, just saying. Of course the sleds are usually out in the puckerbrush, not roaring down the street in front of one's house.

I guess it might work for some people but doing something like this could easily backfire.
