Why do you need to rev it early in the morning for 5 minutes waking up the neighborhood?
Its not their fault. They were just born with excessively small genitals.
I dated a person with a micropenis and she did not behave like that.
Maybe it’s a man thing?
I know too many cisgenderd AFABs that do it to think it’s just a man thing.
I also know a couple guys with small ones and they also for the most part aren’t like that either, so it’s definitely not size.
Proposed consensus: maybe they’re just assholes?
Blaming deuterosomy, bold but I like it
Electric cars and trucks will reduce a lot of noise pollution, but electric motorcycles will take us from quieter to eerily quiet… Can’t happen soon enough.
Switching from mopeds to electric bikes has made such a tremendous difference already
No fucking chance. Motorbrains will never abandon their custom exhausts. For them riding a bike without annoying everyone around doesn’t make any sense. Why bother if no one is looking at you?
Cheap enormous Bluetooth speakers enter the chat
In the city that is pretty common for bicycles LOL
I would take a motorcycle revving over the noise some EVs make. Holy shit it is the most annoying sound I’ve ever heard and I’m terrified of a world where all cars sound like that.
Carbureted or not, it certainly helps if either the manufacturer or the owner doesn’t put on a super loud exhaust, I own a bike with a relatively quiet exhaust to the point I’ve gotten multiple offers from family and relatives to have it swapped to a louder exhaust, and they don’t understand when I tell them I absolutely despise that shit
Thank you for your service.
My dad has been riding most of his life, and I have most of mine. Both of us have noticed that the “loud pipes save lives” slogan is a farce. If a driver is tuning out they will not notice your exhaust. If a driver is on their phone it won’t make a difference.
The trick is to ride defensively and wear a helmet. There’s a reason neither me nor my dad got into a serious accident get, its because we believe every car is out to get us, not that “if I’m loud and obnoxious they’ll notice me”
I knew a guy who would wear a high visibility vest like road construction workers wear. Also a bright orange helmet. It seemed to make a difference.
Because they’re selfish, thoughtless arseholes.
Emotional support vehicle.
It’s tuned poorly and doesn’t run right until it heats up.
It’s not about running right or wrong. Engines run differently at different temps. Idling after start isn’t necessary if you get on and ride immediately though. But I did have to choke mine a bit for the first few minutes.
Got rid of it though. It was stupid noisy and I hated myself on it until I could get out of the city.
They are stupid and they think that if they like the noise everyone else likes it
or
They are stupid and they think no one else can hear it.
To sum up: they are stupid.
Being from the home state of Harley Davidson, more sympathetic I could not be. I hate it lol. They have giant rallies here all the time, back some years ago there was some big anniversary and the whole city was literally filled with them. It was kinda cool but loud as hell. I had a lot of thoughts about how the thought of freedom became intertwined with the freedom of mobility and for a while the motorcycle was sold as the ultimate symbol of freedom in stuff like Easy Rider, it went from hippies into bikers and addicted a generation to leather and gasoline. They did a hell of a job with it.

Yeah, there are cool bikes of all sorts for sure, I would like to try sometimes. I was just saying the particular bike (harleys, choppers, big loud things) and lifestyle that was sold as freedom was anything but, those bikes cost as much as a car now.

Harley makes an adventure bike to go anywhere, but I would not trust it to not break and it’s overpriced.

I am thinking of getting a bike and exploring the south american continent but I know nothing about bikes. Where do I begin looking? Recommend me shows, yt channels, books and bike models please!!

I never owned a bike. I have the license to drive them but never used it. Been thinking of crossing south america for a long time so I will first get the motorcycle and get used to it for about a year or so and then the road it is. Was researching motorcycle models, brands and prices on my country this afternoon (don’t wanna doxx myself, hope you understand). Came up with what I think would be required characteristics for the bike: It should have enough power to accelerate comfortably from about 50 to 75 mph, 56 to 81 mph, and ideally even 62 to 87 mph when needed. I’m not talking about cruising at those speeds all the time, but having enough reserve power for safe overtaking on highways. In my untrained view, safety would come from being able to pass slower vehicles quickly and spend less time in the opposite lane, rather than just having a high top speed. I need the bike to be popular around my area so I can get parts when it breaks and it should be comfortable for my body (test driving it will be then).

Thanks for the recommendations and for sticking up on me xD. Yeah as you can still I have a lot to learn

FIRST, go take a safety/training course. Get your license and PRACTICE, probably for several years. become proficient in every situation you might face.
Then worry about exploring S.A. or other places in the world.
I’ve been riding over 40 years. I never understood this freedom bullshit. In a car, I can drive any time, in rain and snow, year around.

They’re assholes.
Been riding in a European city with a bike that can go from 2k to 12k rpm. Of course in resident areas I kept it so low to be indistinguishable from the cars around me.
I seem to remember South Park having a word for inconsiderate people like this, but I can’t remember what it was…
Small dicked babys
Careful… don’t get the Trump crowd too excited, now.
Once I was home in the afternoon, with my months-old baby finally napping after god knows how long nursing her (very difficult to fall asleep between chronic stomach ache attacks, choppy nights, really miserable at that time).
I hear a motorbike in the street, revving up the engine. I step outside, go to the (young) guy and tell him that my baby is trying to nap. The fucker says nothing, looks me in the eye and takes off at maximum speed/noise.
Not that I really wished it at the moment, but statistically, the bastard is dead by now. Or maybe he has kids of his own and he’s doing good, being nice to people - who knows?
How else are they supposed to let everyone else know they’re riding a motorcycle?
Have you ever noticed when walking on the sidewalk that motorcyclists always make eye contact? They need to be sure people are observing them.
They’re making sure you’re not going to dash into the street in front of them.
Loud pipes save lives is a myth and just an excuse to be an asshole.
Depending on the bike, you may need to rev it a bit to warm it up and keep from stalling.
My monster Harley is loud as hell, which is why I bought the Suzuki. Harley is for long trips, and the Suzuki, which is far quieter than the neighbors kids, is for riding to work or the corner store.
some men think being masculine comes from loud pipes, but i’m of the opinion that real masculinity is being able to hear 😎
I can’t sleep without my windows being closed anymore. Traffic is so bad, and there’s far too many people cursed with small genitalia.
As for idling it, it’s because they don’t believe in computers making their engine run correctly.
Love the casual body shaming in your comment
