We had a fairly large biker group stay at our hotel last night. They were kind of obnoxious. Started attacking breakfast right at 6. Not sucky, just stressful keeping up. Then as I was getting ready to go, there was a group of 3 or 4 of them right outside with their engines running for at least 5 minutes. In idle, they were loud enough, but for what ever reason, they periodically revved them. At 6:30 in the morning! People are still sleeping for crying out loud!

I saw the OP title and I grinned.
Then I cringed as I read the OP itself. Seriously, that's just plain damn rude.PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

The leaving the bikes running for 5 minutes thing was probably letting the bikes warm up first. I try to do that when I can. Of course I have a 250 Rebel so at most it sounds like a really butch sewing machine and is still fairly quiet Given the large number of them and the time of morning they definitely could have been more considerate about maybe not all doing it at once and not revving their engines like that."Man, having a conversation with you is like walking through a salvador dali painting." - Mac Hall

Quoth Android Kaeli View PostThis sounds like Memorial Day Bike Week -- loud, annoying bikers on their Booty Bikes for a week. Lovely time.
I'd momentarily forgotten about it until yesterday, when I saw a few bikers drive past, and it popped back up.PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

Quoth Estil View PostWhat stereo type? Sony? Panasonic? Hi-Fi?
Back on topic, they had to be compensating for something as loud and obnoxious as they were reported as being.
Usually, I'm up around 5 so if it happened outside my house at 6, it wouldn't have bothered me so much.
Now if it were on a day off, when I'm trying to sleep in . . .whole other kettle of fish.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Quoth protege View PostA common excuse is that "loud pipes save lives." Uh, no they don't. All they do, is annoy the ever living *fuck* out of other drivers. There's no reason to be revving your engine at every traffic light and stop sign. All you're doing, is saying "look at me, look at me!" When I hear someone doing that, I think "what a douche."
Because to me, that's what they are: rolling junkyards most of the time. Just like those young guys who take these older vehicles that should have been scrapped long ago and pimp them up, slap on some wild paint and put the big tires on them - and don't forget the sound system that's worth more than the car.
Yep . . . . classic case of more money than brains.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)
