So....how many times has she tried. :a20:

*just kidding big guy!

Not once! I took the warning VERY seriously. I also learned a phrase from "The Princess Bride" that has served me well. "As you wish!"

Smart man

Loud Muffler
 

I had to laugh at your post because as a young man (18-20 years old) I had a fairly loud muffler on my first car - 1954 Oldsmobile four barrel rocket 88 engine car. I even got a ticket for that muffler! I got married shortly after the ticket and never had another loud muffler the rest of my life. Young and immature! Seniors with loud mufflers? “You can’t be young forever but you can be immature for the rest of your life”. Anonymous

And frightened! 😳😬🙂*↕️

It’s a shame to hear that. Why one would have to be deemed ‘immature’ to continue a hobby or preference for....what is clearly a love for a piece of American pride, workmanship and dominance at a point in its history? It’s amazing how some on this forum can reconcile on some subject thread topics and can’t see the forest through the trees on another. Just because you (generalization) don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s wrong, ‘immature’ or inconsiderate. I find the noise coming off of a pickle ball court more offensive than I do some random American muscle cars emit at times. So if one lives next to a pickle ball court....should they deem participants ‘immature’ or are they just trying to remain relevant and youthful? -Anonymous

I have no problem with a Harley The noise isn’t ear splitting. I hope riders don’t start at 6:00 a.m. I am talking about the guy with a homemade hot rod who circles around the square with a 90 decibel and makes it backfire every 30 seconds while I am trying to enjoy my morning coffee.

Yeah, my sentiments exactly......... I hate yappy, ankle-biters also (and I am a dog lover)........ but, man, give me the roar of a loud Harley or Vette or any sports car....... let 'em roar........ and I am an 86 yr old female.........We had a Harley when we built our house in TV in 2001, but decided it wasn't worth the danger of the drivers around here with the Harley, so we sold it.
Grew up with loud pipes, loud Harleys and loud music.......still roll down the windows in my car so I can hear one that goes by.

I love loud music, but not everyone appreciates my preferences. Rather than subject others to my bizarre and (often questionable) subject matter, I play my set list at home and listen with a headset. You could do the same with the sounds of roaring engines and squealing tires. Just a thought.
I have given up putting up stacks of speakers in the front yard and blasting my insanity to the world while I wash/wax the car. I quit when the neighbor lady's ears started bleeding. (Slight exaggeration)
😱🤬🙉🙉🙉🧟*♂️🧟*♀️🧟

Maybe, just maybe there stems from to many people in this world with tons of cash and
have a "look at me" attitude to go with it from Harley's, loud music, vintage cars.

Yup....and you can find the others that don’t appreciate the ‘Harley’s, loud music, vintage cars’ but have ‘tons of cash and a look at me attitude’ as well....at Brownwood Square line dancing to Mustang Sally! ;)

The way these OLD codgers drive, you have to either have a loud vehicle to remind them that you are nearby, OR you have to lay on the horn when you drive around here. I have driven for years before coming here, including overseas where driving day to day is dangerous. Here, you can park in the safest part of the parking lot when shopping and come out and see scratches and dent on your vehicle. And be very careful backing up, because no one else cares OR they are sight impaired.
Regarding Harley motorcycles, I have owned them and hated loud pipes. However, it was a must to keep folks from cutting over in lanes, acting like they did not see me. I put loud pipes on my bikes so that when I was passing vehicles while I was in the left lane they would not cut into me.
If a minute of loud noise bothers you so much in the morning, try to remember back when you were already on your way to work (or at work) at 6am. Personally, I call waking at 6am, sleeping in. And try to remember that at our age, we are blessed to be annoyed at a bit of noise.
Now on to the next complaint. Maybe a complaint about dog poop, speed bumps, bad parking, gates or strong perfume? Oh, and we must not forget the heinous crime of stickers on post boxes.

Great post!

Loud "mufflers"
 

He probably can't hear.

Awake?
 

Well now that your awake you can get an early start enjoying the remainder of the day!🤣

I think they are deaf, in fact, I am sure they are deaf because anyone constantly exposed to loud sound without wearing earplugs gets damaged ear drums. The other reason is the same as with the younger ones. Low self-esteem. They are desperately saying, “Notice me! Notice me!”

Wow
We have a lot of clinical professionals on this forum...who knew!

Lol…you don’t have to be a clinical professional… just a mother of toddlers.

Ive been on here long enough now to know it doesn't take much to trigger certain residents. Of all the things that are wrong in society....classic car and Harley enthusiasts has many heading for the wall at Villages Health. Ive said this before, it should be a mandatory exercise for VLS agents to have potential clients.....before one buys here to log in to TOTV for several hours....so they know what theyre getting into

Great idea! TOTV is why we HAD to move here. Oh, and for the Kool-Aide. Life here is great! And everyone is so friendly, respectful of others. None of the dogs poo or pee cause they all wear diapers. And everyone adheres to the traffic laws. Golf carts never exceed 19.8mph and, wait... For a moment I forgot that most of you live here, too.
OK, so it ain't fantasy land! It's still pretty nice, don't you think? 🫠😉🥰

Ok, small confession, my Ninja 6R was loud, and high pitched - not because I changed the muffler to sound like a broken lawn mower but because the motor revs high for high speeds and it is a sports bike. And I love the “natural” sound of Harleys. The way they are manufactured with no individuals putzing with them. They sound melodic to my ears. I am and always will be, a motorcycle enthusiast. But in our quiet neighborhood we got off our bikes; husband on a rumbling Lt. Turn off the engines on Odell and walk the bikes to our close (but on a quiet street ) garage. Unless they see us neighbors don’t even know we were riders.

I know! A Psychologist AND an Audiologist! What are the odds?

You learned all that in 3+ months?

Slow learner? :1rotfl:
