But.. being cool is why I bought a bike. I was always picked on as a young boy. All the jocks and greasers picked on me because I excelled in home-ec class. I swore that I would be cool one day. My loud pipes have put me in the cool class. I don't want to lose my cool status. So, when I rev my bike in the middle of a shopping center, PLEASE look at me in all my leather and smile and nod your head approvingly.
