About 500 rode by my home today. "Loud pipes save lives"... yeah, maybe, but mostly they just remind those of us who live on scenic roads just how absolutely obnoxious the biker culture can be. Jus' sayin'...

Don't get me wrong, I think bikes look like loads of fun. But what's with minimal/no mufflers and the full on, *hole thing?!
 
I have bikes, and will never own a Harley. I currently have a 99 Honda ST-1100. My next bike will hopefully be a gold wing.
 
I had a dual sport for several years but sold it a couple of months ago. My uncle was my primary riding partner and after he passed away I didn't ride it much. With my work schedule it's hard to find people to ride with. The last few times out I found myself many miles from pavement and thinking it wasn't a smart thing to do alone. And my favorite networks of gravel roads close to home have all been closed to motorized vehicles in the last few years, so quick morning or evening rides weren't an option anymore.
 
Trust me, it ain't just Harleys that are obnoxious... the ones that sound like angry wasps are usually the "crotch rockets" and they AIN'T Harleys. We call the crotch rocket jockey's "organ donors".

Obnoxious is obnoxious. It doesn't matter what you have between your legs, boys. Trust me! when you don't have air conditioning and you have to leave your windows open for ventilation and you are subjected to the noise of barely muffled exhaust/concealed testosterone nearly everyone astride a motorcycle is pisses you off.

Get over your (bad)selves and think about the people in the homes you roar by. Get it?!
 
Here's a pic from what used to be my favorite place to ride. I could get to this spot in 30 minutes. No motorcycles or ATVs allowed now.

Bummer. And why do you think you and your ride have been "shut off"?

Look, I'm all for enjoying fun places and scenic rides. Access to those places is predicated on thoughtful and careful use. When idiots abuse the privilege it's revoked. Sucks for those who followed the rules, and that's a drag, but that's how it works, guys,

It sounds like you don't have a motorcycle so why are you replying to this post?
 
bobdog if you wonder where the post went. Well, you don't.

Keep it clean.
