"Rev those engines louder. I can't hear how small your dicks are." -J2K

[Mr Hero]

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.

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.

What's sad is that the 3 with small dicks were making the whole group look bad and reinforcing the stereotype.

What stereo type? Sony? Panasonic? Hi-Fi?

I've got to stop checking this site while I drink my morning coffee.

Note to self - add cleaning monitor to today's chore list.

This sounds like Memorial Day Bike Week -- loud, annoying bikers on their Booty Bikes for a week. Lovely time.

Sounds like April 1 to November in the neighborhood I work. Several assholes insist on revving their engines every time they pass our building. We also have to deal with the douchebags who install fart cans on their shitbox economy cars. Sorry assholes, there's a huge difference between "powerful" and "fucking irritating." And this is coming from a guy who has a car with a loud exhaust. Not because I *modified* it, but that's how the cars were originally. If I was going to mess with the exhaust, trust me, I'd find a way to make it quieter. Lessen the possible unwanted attention from police, in other words--even at 25mph, the car sounds like it's doing double that!

Yeah, Rolling Thunder is one of those gatherings in DC. Bikers gather in the parking lots of the Pentagon, then ride through the streets of the city before attending Memorial Day events to pay their respects to the fallen.

I'd momentarily forgotten about it until yesterday, when I saw a few bikers drive past, and it popped back up.

I have to say I thought that post was you. You and Estil apparently share a brain.

Frankly the best sounding stereo I've ever had so far has been a late 70's Fisher Studio-Standard (and yes, I do have one.)

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.

A 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."

Another thing I think of when I hear those loud pipes is "I've seen better sounding vehicles sitting in junkyards."

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.

...Or the Go Faster Stripes. Gotta have those.
