On Thursday nights I go to a place called Texas Pride BBQ. On any given Thursday they will host 100-300 bikes. Food, beer, live band etc. Fun place.
Anyhow we are all sitting outside getting some food. About every two minutes or so another guy will idle through and blip his throttle to loud it up a bit on a 3 second interval until his arrival has been property announced.
One of the ladies there yelled out to the table twisting her wrist as if working her throttle "I just got it!" She then worked her wrist a different way saying "Now I get it! they can do that in public not this!"
I don't think there was a dry eye within 20 feet. 5 or 6 guys changed areas. Obviously they were also public throttle blippers.
Loud pipes don't save lives. The jury is not out on that. How dare you not put open headers on the Lexus to keep your family safe. Its a silly assertion.
They worked it hard on the Prius for safety finding no reason to add big noise to the vehicle. They were naturally worried about no motor or exhaust note.
I drilled my pipes on the Triumph. I like a little noise. I even have an old Kerker on one of the antiques. I think we all know the ones we are talking about. They are the same ones on a group ride you would not follow for a few hundred miles.
Whenever I hear one I think of the lady at bike night and have a little laugh. Southpark may be right.
Now we can start the lawnmower thread where that guy is just as bad. etc.
