You who what’s great on a nice crisp night?

Laying in bed while listening to that “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” noise off in the distance. Or right outside the house. Or a loud ass motorcycle trying to make a faithful impression of farting noises.

Just… Wonderful! I love it!

I’d like to figure out where these vehicles are, take multiple cans of expanding foam insulation, and fill the exhaust pipes of these infernal noise machines up. Damn shame that’s illegal.

    Only thing better is when it is combined with a subwoofer so loud it could be considered a war crime.

    I really don’t know why so many people feel a need to show this “antisocial and proud of it” attitude, just being a loud asshole for no reason other than it being annoying.

    When I learned that kids in the Netherlands refer to combustion vehicles as “farting cars”, “farting bikes”, etc, something clicked in my brain. Noisy and stinky is an apt comparison of traits compared to other forms of transportation.

    Hey want everyone within 10 miles to know how shitty your throttle inputs are and every time you forget to downshift?

    I was confused last week when I saw a 350cc scooter with an illegal muffler slowly taking a corner, loudly reving and cutting throttle to not gain any speed.

    My bike does that because it’s geared so low I’m usually in 3rd by the time I finish turning left. Wtf are you doing to that poor cvt?

    I can forgive the eeeeEEEEeeee of a car replacing your mufflers with a rear mounted turbo or an i4 revving past 14K or a 2stroke being a 2stroke, the noise is a side effect of function.

      Ah! I have the same experience with my bike, 250x TU, when i drive around neighborhood limitied to 30 km/H, I’ll have to be either at high rev 2nd, or low 3rd. I usually choose the 3rd just because it’s less loud, but if I dip just a bit too low, I can hear the gears working a bit too much.

    In the UKKK, a nice crisp night is a night where you have any flavour available besides the usual jellied eel or barbecued offal.

    There was one guy in our community who was very insistent on using surveillance tech to reduce loud car sounds by fining people driving those cars. Don’t make me pick between surveillance tech and loud cars please.

    It should be legal to shoot cars with paintballs fully at the discretion of cyclists and pedestrians.

    What i love is that there are rules about how loud a cqr can be, right? BUT what if someone is rich and can afford a Lamborghini for example? There are no laws, these cars NEED to be loud, because some rich asshole needs a v10 hypercar, and they are loud.

    Motorcycles? They cry that they NNED to be loud so people hear them. Absolute bullshit.
