Imagine if motorbikes didn’t exist. These dickheads would have to go up to people and shout “MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS” in their faces one at a time.
Man, there is a small d man who lives along my street and EVERY F DAY he drives his loud and noisy motorbike. It's driving me insane!
Also, there is a car that every f day, around 10 am, drive down the street, but his carburetor is open, being stupidly loud! It make me literally sick!
There was a guy who used to rev his obnoxiously loud bike super early and super late round my way, it was so loud it would leave your ears ringing even inside with the windows shut.
He died in a bike accident and everyone was happy, so many neighbour's I've barely spoken to shared a quiet comment about it.
We do though get a ride through every year from the chapter of the gang he was in because he died 'a heros death' according to them as he had been fighting a different group of manchildren on motorbikes earlier that day and they were possibly chasing him at the time.
The family have a shrine to him by the road (not where he died, just near their house) with empty beer cans, burnt out candles, biker patches, cheap plastic skulls, and slogans about how tough or cool bikers are. It's a fascinating testament to how we form groups and make our own reality, I think he and they really believe that when we saw him on that stupidly loud bike we wished we could be as cool as him rather than everyone viewing him as nothing but an annoyance.
I never understood this. When I was a wee lad I wanted a car that sounded just like KITT. Completely silent.
From what I have observed, any sane car is like that: the loudest noise is from the tires, with the engine only being louder when at low speeds or accelerating very aggressively.
EVs for the win! They also usually have a futuristic whirring noise when reversing, just like KITT
DANKPODS! DON'T YOU DARE!
Jacked up trucks with a Carolina squat and just headers, with four 14” woofers in the bed, up and down the road at 4am. Epitome of human trash.
I hate ICE motorcycle/moped for that. They're by default loud, louder than ICE car, and sometime people will mod it even louder for "safety" because they weave dangerously and want people to know they're there. It's the reason i appreciate electric motorcycle, they're so damn quiet.
The safety isn't about lane filtering so much as just intersections, but yeah it's a rubbish argument and any biker making it should shut the fuck up if they don't wear hi-vis on every ride
No, i genuinely mean weave, at high speed, because they will came in in 90/100kmph in a 60/70kmph traffic and expect people to see them. It's one of the main cause of high motorcyclist death in Malaysia.
KC’s got a huge group of crotch rocket and ATV riders that pull this shit at wildly inappropriate times, riding on sidewalks as well as blowing through red lights.
I still think the cringiest noise issue around here though is the neighborhood’s designated shittiest DJ lugging around a huge ass bluetooth amp and blasting his shitty rap music right across the street from my bedroom window.
I swear to god if that thing ever gets in range of my phone I’m connecting and blasting ABBA’s Arrival at full fucking volume.
