You know..........every year at this time all you hear on the roads is the extremely loud WAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA of some f'n moron on a crotch rocket doing about 120 mph! Drives me NUTS! No wonder there are so many deaths on the road this time of year. One passed me on the bridge one night a few weeks ago and it looked like a space ship in light speed going past me he was going so fast. Only can hope they only kill themselves and not someone else.

I hate the kids who think now that they put and exhaust system in their civic...they are now a racer and try to race anyone and everyone on the highway. I just got my car home 2 nights ago, on my way to pick up my girlfriend, some retard in a civic thinks he has enough room to cut in front of me and loses control and sideswipes my body kit then crashing into the median. Lucky thing I could brake on time to not kill him. Now my car is in the shop for the next 3 weeks waiting on a new kit to come (from japan) then has to be modified and molded then put on my car. This kid's dad is gonna be pissed when he sees the bill.

Yeah, we have our share of those little punks around here.

In my area we have several roads that go from 4 lane down to 2 lane. These thugs will try to dart around you and be in front on a 2 lane hwy. I drive an Avalanche, and it is a bit larger than those civics. I will floor it and almost run them off the road when they try to cut me off.

Man that pisses me off. One day they are going to kill someone.

I know it is not the safest thing to do, but it gives me satisfaction to see them slam on their brakes when they run out of road.

I'm careful to never do this when other vehicles are around.

Wasn't that long ago, that kid was me, on my old Suzuki Katana. That thing would scream. I took almost 6 gallons of premium to ride the 90 miles from my Hometown to Bossier city LA. But it only took 46 minutes. LOL

That said, I was always extra careful, around traffic. I mainly took back country 2 lane highways. But now that I am older, I can understand why people hated my race tuned header. LOL

I never will understand why guys that ride motorcycles have to have them at 140 decibels.

Purposely ruining your hearing is not on my list of things to do.

Anything over 84 decibels IS affecting your hearing. It happens slowly and you don't notice it until it's too late.

I'm not a fan of straight pipes. When I rode, I liked a little noise, and can see the appeal, but I have a new perspective now that I have had children.

Talk about pissed.........try rocking and singing to the little one for an hour to get them to sleep, only to have some dude who thinks his bike is God's gift to eardrums drive by your home blasting away.

My dad does it all the time........pisses me off.

Hey X,

All it took was ONE 120mph, through the south louisiana swamps, to slow me down and I bought a Harley. Unfortunately, it was a @#$@% AMF Harley. I later traded for a 86 Heritage softtail, and got to ride instead of work on a bike again.

I am currently without a bike to ride, but I have 17 basketcases, and someday I will put one back together. LOL

Wait a minute....

Andy said his dad does it all the time. What is that about?

You might want to have a "Do Better" talk with him. Tell him he is grounded.

That's funny stuff...your dad. Ha

Loud Pipes Save Lives...

with everyone hanging a cell phone to their ear while driving from point A to point B.. it is very obvious their focus on the road isn't the greatest... especially on a Friday after work payday and planning the weekend... Motorcyclist don't stand a chance...

In High School I had a Kawasaki KZ1000. I traded it in for a KZ1300.

I'm lucky to be alive I think.
