The weather has been beautiful this weekend. Got in a lot of bicycle riding and other outdoor stuff.

The only thing I don’t like about summer are the attention-seeking wannabe “bad boy” Harley and custom chopper riders with excessively noisy bikes.

If these “loud pipes save lives” jackasses were so concerned about safety, they would wear the proper safety gear.

And the thing is, a good part of the time, these assholes aren’t even riding anywhere.

I watch as they ride their fat asses up the street, stop at Tim Hortons to show off their bikes while having a coffee and doughnut, then go back down the street... and maybe stop at a different Tim Hortons to have another doughnut.

Some of them stop at the local bar, have some drinks and then idiotically ride some more. Maybe they’ll ride around the block... maybe up and down the same street... but they’ll definitely park their bikes to show off some more.

Adam, Carola sums it up nicely:

On the bright side, more and more municipalities are starting to crack down on this shit. Apparently Toronto will at some point soon as well:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The sooner the better.

I don’t care if a motorcyclist wants to just ride for fun. No issue with that.

But I don’t want to fucking hear your slow-assed piece of shit bike 5+ blocks away.

You’re not cool. You don’t look cool in your gimp outfit. You just look like an attention-seeking asshole.

And you’re giving a bad name to all motorcycle riders in the eyes of many.

I’ve got 15,000km on my slow, loud, piece of shit this season alone.

Yes, loud pipes save lives. When a jackass starts to change lanes into the side of me, I crack the throttle, they realize I’m there, and they stay in their fucking lane.

Why dont I wear safety gear all the time? Because I simply don’t want to. My defensive riding, along with my loud pipes have been enough to keep me out of trouble so far. Although, I do understand the risk and I’m prepared to meet my fate, should it be “in the cards” for me.

And yeah, I sometimes I think I’m pretty fucking cool. Mainly when I’m getting mobbed at gas stations and places I’m stopped by people asking me for a picture or for me to, you guessed it, rev the engine... these aren’t degenerates, either. The other night I was with a lady friend enjoying a few drinks on a patio in the prestigious Bronte area of Oakville, and when I fired up the bike at the end of the evening, all the executive-types on the patio cheered and hollered for me to give it some gas. This isnt an unusual occurrence, either. But that’s not the reason I ride. I had just as much fun on my rusty ‘85 Virago as I do on my Harley.

And no, I don’t dress like a gimp or a pirate. I’m your average 27 year old. You can usually find me in a nice pair of fitted jeans with a plain white tee or maybe a Jay’s shirt and some sneakers... not all Harley riders are chasing the “lifestyle”.

Anyways, I don’t usually respond to these posts but yours was extra douchy, the current traffic on the 401 is brutal, and being from the same area I feel the need to break it down for you....

Oh, and I’ll be in Liberty Village tonight if you wanna question just how tough I am.

You sound like a complete and utter moron. Loud pipes save lives? I didn’t think anyone actually believed that. And what kind of shitty back tattoo, saggy tits with tank top, weathered old hag asks someone for a picture of their Harley at a gas station? These are the most common bikes out there. And if randos are asking people to rev their Harleys at restaurants, then I think Canada should be burned to the ground. Since you’re Canadian, I image you look and act like this guy.

Kinja'd!!!

But with fitted jeans and a white t shirt...

My bike is probably a a lot louder than yours as well.

Wow, a real life keyboard warrior!

You’re clearly way too thick to understand how hearing something before you see it could be advantageous... I’ve had quiet bikes and I’ve had loud bikes. The truth is that when used defensively loud pipes prevent people from cutting into your lane, when riding in their blindspot (which can be unavoidable in downtown traffic). I’m sorry you’re too stupid to understand this simple reality, but it’s understandable - you guys aren’t the most well educated down there.

Also, that pic you posted is pretty ironic. You guys are the gun nuts, so much so that you’re actually about to elect Trump into office out of fear that Hilary might “take your guns”. Seriously, a reality TV star? Who’s next? Kim K?

You seem like a jealous twat.. and I don’t understand why... and for the record I’ve removed all Harley logos from my bike to avoid unwanted attention.

And no, his side burns are wayyy cooler than mine.

The guy telling people where he’ll be tonight in order to fight them is calling other people keyboard commandos. Right... And no one is jealous of your Harley. Who puts a fucking windshield on a bike?

With that Harley hat you look like a Trump supporter. Harley Davidson is the Trump of the motorcycle world. Make Canada great again!

Yep, they're annoying as fuck. One of my biggest pet peeves is getting stuck next to one of these assholes on the road.

Haha.. “loud pipes save lives” What a crock... As it’s been pointed out before, if that was the case then harley riders should have a much lower accident rate than other motorcycle types. Guess what, they don’t.

And if you want to make the argument that loud pipes increase safety, then you should reverse your pipes so they point forward, towards where most of the dangers are.. (cars pulling out in front of you). Although, one could make the argument that since harleys are the slowest, most inept bikes out there, perhaps they do have a lot of accidents caused by old ladies passing them...

And the whole “I rev it when someone’s merging towards me.” Dude, that’s what your fucking horn is for! When you drive around on a bike that’s as loud as everyone’s horn, you’re not cool, you’re a douche.

Edited to add, this is meant to the guy in the official black t-shirt shirt, with the official h-d (tm) hat, not sky...

Right? Here's the thing, I drive a very loud, old, smelly motorcycle. But I would never make up some BS about it being loud for safety reasons.

Totally, if you’re a douche who really, really, *really* needs attention, then own that shit... But don’t be a little attention whore and try and pretend that it’s for safety reasons...

That South Park episode should be required viewing for anyone planning on buying a motorcycle.

So much squid-stupidity... where to begin...

“When a jackass starts to change lanes into the side of me,”

Because you’re idiotically hanging out in a car/truck’s blind spot, you need loud pipes?

No. You need to learn how to ride in an intelligent fashion. And that means NOT riding in a vehicle’s blind spot.

“Why dont I wear safety gear all the time? Because I simply don’t want to.”

Do us all a favour... and fill out your ORGAN DONOR CARD...

“And yeah, I sometimes I think I’m pretty fucking cool.”

Yeah, you wouldn’t be the first delusional person I’ve encountered.

“ Mainly when I’m getting mobbed at gas stations and places I’m stopped by people asking me for a picture or for me to,”

For THAT bike you have pictured? LOL... I don’t believe that for a second. Maybe they’re taking your picture to pass on to police for one reason or another.

“The other night I was with a lady friend enjoying a few drinks on a patio in the prestigious Bronte area of Oakville,”

Oooh... I’m soooo impressed that you’re able to BUY DRINKS in a place in the suburbs. You’re clearly on your way to becoming the next Jason Kenney!

“Oh, and I’ll be in Liberty Village tonight if you wanna question just how tough I am.”

What a moron.

Buddy, I have no doubt that there’s no need for me to seek you out and tear a strip off of you.

Darwin will take care of that for me.

It’s just a matter of time.

You just keep riding “defensively” in the blind spots of cagers and keep relying on your loud pipes, jeans and t-shirt to “protect” you.

LOL
