Crazy motorcycle riders

Yeah, I have held back a little on the "loud pipe saves lives " if that was the case then we should all have air horns continuously blaring while we ride right?

I rank loud pipes right up there with those loud a$$ stereo systems these punks drive around with. Same thing, but to be honest, I would take the loed system noise over the pipe noise anyday.

"Loud pipes save lives"? Are these lives that need saving? How about they save their own lives by riding responsibly. The guys I see with the staight pipes and "hammering it" are doing so in congested neighborhoods. If I see one go over a guardrail or marry a tree I wouldn't waste the cell phone airtime to dial 911...

Nothing like finally getting your infant or toddler down to bed at dusk and have someone scream by on the Harley with the modified exhaust.

Years ago - I lived on Route 117 and teens/twentysomethings used to hang out at a church yard across the street. Lots of burnouts, yelling and some motorcycles and some lip to my Dad and neighbor. Dad got sick of this one motorcylist ripping up and down the road so took a shovel out to the gravel driveway, scooped up a shovel-full and stood by the hedge until the guy came winding it back up the road. Surprised that the guy didn't go down with the gravel facial, and that my Dad was not arrested.
