I know there will probably be a few who disagree with this, but oh well...
I live next to a relatively busy state route on the outskirts of a small city. All along this road there are signs about trucks being forbidden to use jake brakes (compression release engine brakes) due to noise.
Here's my bitch: I like having my windows open when it's warm out, instead of running air conditioning. AC messes with my sinuses, & uses a lot of power and makes my electric bill a lot higher. Therefore, I only use it when the inside temp gets above about 78°.
The only problem is, all the douchebags that insist on having motorcycles that are louder than the goddamn space shuttle taking off. It's ridiculous. I don't see how there can be an ordinance against the use of jake brakes on trucks, yet they let these asshats get away with pretty much straight pipes loud enough to blow out your fucking eardrums, on their damn motorcycles. One went by here about an hour ago & revved his engine (for no reason I could see, other than to make noise) and it was so loud it literally caused a framed picture to fall off my bedroom wall. They're louder than any truck using compression brakes that I've ever heard.
I just don't understand what the attraction is. Is it the "compensating for a small penis" thing? They make up for their tiny beetle dicks with a loud ass bike? I would think they would go deaf themselves, from riding the damn things.
Don't get me wrong...I don't have anything against bikers or bikes in general. I've owned a few & have ridden a few miles my self in my life, but never on anything loud enough to cause bleeding eardrums. There should be an ordinance against this shit, in my opinion.
I'm just tired of them blasting by here, especially at 2 in the morning. Guess I'll have to close the windows and crank on the air. It's bullshit-bs-smiley-emoticon.gif [/end rant]
