Here’s a shout out to all the motorbike drivers who rev them loud. I love when you guys do that. My sleeping two month old baby loves being startled awake by that. People on the street are covering their ears when you do that because they think you’re cool. It’s cool to permanently damage kids’ hearing isn’t it? When I hear loud motorcycles it sends adrenalin through my veins and makes me want to yell a big “fuck you”. —Trying not to flip out at motorcyclists

At first, I agreed with you but then you offered up nonsense about people covering their ears and damaging your baby’s hearing. At that point, you became a bigger douche than the motorcyclists with small penises.
I don’t mind motorbikes, but the sound that comes out of some of those crotchrockets is unreal, and the speed they go, one bad move and they’re flying towards the woods.
There was a kid in my neighbourhood who rode his bicycle around all day, all summer with a cigarette pack pinned to the fork so that his spokes made a loud roaring sound. He was desperate for attention.
There’s a south park episode about this you’d enjoy OB
Yup, the world is loud.
We have thunder, fireworks, sirens, foghorns, ship horns, car horns, a daily noon cannon firing, dogs barking, train whistles and loud pipes, which BTW are not exclusive to other types of vehicles.
If these noises caused permanent hearing damage we’d all be deaf by the time we’re thirty.
What? I can’t hear you. I have a banana in my ear.
Oh, Krapp! Wrong orifice.
Maybe you could post your baby’s schedule on The Coast so everyone knows what time they have to tiptoe past your fucking stupid apartment on Inglis St, or some other equally stupid throughfare where you chose to live. Imagine that, a city of 300,000 people and your your precious fuck trophy shouldn’t be disturbed during nappy time. Should firemen push their firetrucks past your house too? Fuck off!!!!
My bikes whisper quiet but super fast. I’m not one of the guys that say they have a loud exhaust so other drivers know they’re there. I’m not going to spend $1000 on a loud exhaust when I have a horn. And if the horn dosnt work, I’m kicking your side mirrors off.
you live in a city. shut the fuck up
tbh a lot of people have loud bikes because if they didn’t other drivers wouldn’t know they’re there.
Bullshit. Loud bikes don’t save lives.
