Someone got woken up on Sunday morning 🤣

New Rule: if the motorcycle you purchased exceeds noise ordinance levels for a given area, said motorcycle cannot be sold, driven, or registered in that area, nor can it be parked in a public parking spot in that area.
Honestly though, I wish police would simply enforce noise ordinances and anyone with more than one violation would have their bike impounded.
Several traffic cameras in the Netherlands have been upgraded with decibel meters as part of a test. I hope this becomes the norm for all the cameras.

Easier said than done, unfortunately. They need sound meters to do anything reliably, and then there’s the issue of catching them. Even slow, inefficient bikes tend to be much faster and more maneuverable than patrol cars, so motorcyclists are quite a bit more likely to run. Especially the ones that are already violating noise ordinances.
You know what is faster than a motor bike?
Radiowaves.
The police patrol knows the direction that the biker is going, call a patrol there.
Light is also faster than a motor bike, get a recording of the license plate and use that to find it.
Or if the church/neighbours simply start logging the guy’s schedule, give it to the police and have them wait for him.
We basically have this in Japan. People will put their bike back to factory for the inspection and then change it out. They get caught rarely, but not often. loud-assed 暴走族 (bousouzoku) groups love to ride around in the countryside where I live and I can hear them from quite far. I really wish the police would do something about them.
I had to listen to a friend of my gf’s sister talking how she will make her car loud and all that. I really wanted to punch her in the face for being such an absolute dumbass. Why do you need your car to be above the legal sound limit?
Because she either a sadist, a psychopath, and/or a narcissist.
Send her this article: Who Wants a Loud Car? [Psychology Today]
Tell her to get help.
Because it’s cool.
Apparently.
I’d like to see all noisy bikes and cars seized and crushed. And the owner billed for the work and time.
The louder the vehicle, the dumber the driver.
I’m driving an EV and I would like to prove you wrong.
I was making tea in a teapot, when I poured in the boiled water and closed the lid, the hot air inside expanding and making the tea overflowing through the spout. In a panic, I quickly used my finger to plug the spout in an attempt to stop the overflowing, and thus burned my finger.
My best friend of 20 years was sitting there and witnessed the whole thing. It has been years since and he’s still bringing it up occasionally.
“A falling knife has no handle.”
Your reflexes were faster than your brain, happens sometimes.
Let me run out and ask my neighbor, who also carries a gun while he mows the lawn
this is probably a joke but in these times i have to check. fo’ real?
Sorry, a week later, but yes I have never seen the man without a gun on his hip. Why? Well, my suspicion is that he has a small penis. I base that on him also owning a Harley which he rarely rides but does start and rev up at literally any time of day.
Why the fuck is cringe censored?
It’s probably a typo. The n key is right above the spacebar. I make the same mistake quite often.
It’s a perfectly normal hobby for 100% straight, manly, conservative, white (did I mention straight?) men, who like to meet up with other 100% straight men, to wear skin-tight leather suits and enjoy the strong vibrations of their hot Harley engine between their legs.
Okay, but just to be clear, assless chaps are still super hetero, right?
Right?
I wish I could find a city that actually enforced noise ordinances against loud vehicles. Every city I’ve lived in has been way too fucking loud for me to handle, so now I have to drive everywhere because the alternative is live in a city and be driven insane by noise pollution.
I’d like it if they would enforce noise ordinances at all.
And those motocross. My family lives in a rural area with a rail trail. So to go there I often just cycle on the rail trail.
Unfortunately it’s also used by a local motocross group. They’re not supposed to but they obviously don’t give a fuck.
At least you can hear them coming from kilometres away. Which is interesting because the police or whoever is supposed to enforce “bicycles only” on that bike path doesn’t seem to hear them. Nor see the very obvious tracks.
The most insulting part is that they close the path in fall, winter and spring because they don’t want CYCLISTS to damage the bike path, yet there’s assholes on motocross driving on it.
Just wait until you get these idiots:
He added the extra suspension on the wrong end.
Just gonna drop this here. https://www.psypost.org/psychopathy-and-sadism-drive-preference-for-loud-vehicles-study-suggests/
Man, there is a small d man who lives along my street and EVERY F DAY he drives his loud and noisy motorbike. It’s driving me insane!
Also, there is a car that every f day, around 10 am, drive down the street, but his carburetor is open, being stupidly loud! It make me literally sick!
There was a guy who used to rev his obnoxiously loud bike super early and super late round my way, it was so loud it would leave your ears ringing even inside with the windows shut.
He died in a bike accident and everyone was happy, so many neighbour’s I’ve barely spoken to shared a quiet comment about it.
We do though get a ride through every year from the chapter of the gang he was in because he died ‘a heros death’ according to them as he had been fighting a different group of manchildren on motorbikes earlier that day and they were possibly chasing him at the time.
The family have a shrine to him by the road (not where he died, just near their house) with empty beer cans, burnt out candles, biker patches, cheap plastic skulls, and slogans about how tough or cool bikers are. It’s a fascinating testament to how we form groups and make our own reality, I think he and they really believe that when we saw him on that stupidly loud bike we wished we could be as cool as him rather than everyone viewing him as nothing but an annoyance.
This is the internet. It’s OK to swear here.
Man,I swear there is a small d man who lives along my street and EVERY F DAY he drives his loud and noisy motorbike. I swear It’s driving me insane!Also,I swear there is a car that every f day, around 10 am, drive down the street, but his carburetor is open, being stupidly loud! I swear It make me literally sick!Can we be racist too?
Set the bike on fire.
We really do not value quiet enough.
And the people here who’s idea of a utopia is all of us living in Mega City One are the worst of them.
I used to play WoW with a guy in London, and literally every time he opened his mic to speak, it was a cacophony of sirens and cars and helicopters. I don’t know how people in cities can even here themselves think. Like, great, you can order from 20 different Chinese takeaways but at what cost?
I’m in DC and NYC a lot, and the places I stay are almost always pretty quiet areas (cause I’m not staying in the hotbed touristy/party-y areas)
Even in cities, most people have average boring 9 to 5 jobs and need to sleep at night. When you get away from those particular areas (of course Times Square isnt indicative of the “norm,” right?) its all pretty mundane actually.
I never understood this. When I was a wee lad I wanted a car that sounded just like KITT. Completely silent.
From what I have observed, any sane car is like that: the loudest noise is from the tires, with the engine only being louder when at low speeds or accelerating very aggressively.
EVs for the win! They also usually have a futuristic whirring noise when reversing, just like KITT
dude…your bike is farting so loud you gave grandma a heart attack…that’s not as cool as you imagine it to be :/
Imagine if motorbikes didn’t exist. These dickheads would have to go up to people and shout “MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS” in their faces one at a time.
Then they would all drive diesel trucks with modified exhaust and floor it between stop signs
Covered in MAGA flags.
