I'm just plain shocked that no one has made even a slight mention of the South Park episode this week.

This is a funny episode

Whoa! That is over the top!

I wonder how they get away with doing that without being sued?

That being said, "Couldn't happen to a nicer....ah....well..."

I caught it on Thursday. I was dying. Dare I say that I can relate.

I hear all my scooter peeps say how we bring smiles to everyone. While listening, I can also hear my non-scooter coworker's story where he was blocked in so a group of scooters could go by. My coworker was not happy with the situation.

It's just a reminder that when a large group of scooters go by, some people may see us as a parade, while others will see us as douchebags.

FYI, I love Butters.

In Santa Barbara, CA, State St. is the main street where all the locals and tourists go to hang out. It's a small street with lots of 3+ story bldgs so when the Hardleys go through, and they rev their engines, the noisy echo just ruins it for everyone. Totally fracking stops whatever conversations anyone is having, and is just so damn annoying that you wish the SB cops would start enforcing the noise codes. There are also more than a few Ducatis with Termignoni exhausts that are just as obnoxious, but the Hardleys with their straight pipes (which are totally illegal) are easily in the majority. My D650 can get loud (I have OEM pipes with a PC III), but I never rev the thing up around people, and I never speed in population, just a courtesy to the people who I know DON"T want to hear the noise from a motorcycle exhaust.

In case no one else has ever said it to you, Thank you. I do the same thing on my bikes. I know my idle is good, I know where my clutch engages and I know that my engine is running; I for the life of me can't figure out the need to constantly goose the throttle at a stop light. My old beast of a bike can get pretty loud, but I reserve that right for myself (because I'm the one who enjoys it). I'm not afraid of finding the stop on the throttle sleeve, but a stop light is the exact wrong place to do it, lol.

One of the easiest ways to keep the noise levels down around town on an MC is to short shift. You're already going slow so what does it matter if you're doing 35 in 3rd gear?

I try to keep out of the powerband if I'm in "puttering around" mode. I've got 6 gears and a tranny that was geared when 55 was the national highway speed limit. 35 in 3rd isn't exactly short shifting, lol. The 23 year old engine will perk to life in almost any gear should I need it, but if that's not enough, it's got one of the first slipper clutched used in production (Kawasaki kinda slipped that in, if you'll excuse the pun).

I still get a chuckle anytime some tries to race me on either bike. I reserve my power for my enjoyment. I've got no one to impress, my wife isn't straying anywhere. Even if that weren't the case, I doubt I'd be able to stand the type of people who are impressed by douche-baggery.

I've seen Kenny get killed so many times. You're right, brain not engaged. Hmm, this is becoming more frequent, much increase medication.

+1. Thank you both. Loud bikes don't bother me, but I know more than a few people that hate it and consider it noise pollution, not to mention intrusive and obnoxious. I have one friend that asked me, upon seeing me walking around work with my helmet in hand one morning, if I was another one of "Those" people. She is a lovely older lady, a grandmother, actually, who is always tastefully dressed and bringing in treats from her kitchen to share with us. Anyway, she absolutely floored me when she said that "Those" people that believe loud pipes save lives don't seem to realise that waking up someone's grandbaby after that grandma just spent 2 hours getting said colicky baby to sleep by riding by her front door showing off on their noisy bike at 11pm should be a reason for murder.

I quickly assured her that my scooters are very quiet with stock pipes and that I guarantee if I happened to ride by her house she would not know about it and the baby would not be disturbed by me.

Some folks love 'em, but some folks consider it as offensive as a flaming bag of dog poop on their front porch.

And, don't wake the baby!

You all do see the irony here, don't you? This satire of (not really) grown men who think that getting attention for being obnoxious means they're cool, is coming from some (not really) grown men who think that getting attention for being obnoxious means they're cool.
