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. |

Awake?

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!”

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.
