Bike Ride

[Christyle]

I did some research on google, got to the third page, then ADD kicked in. It's an iffy subject anyway. I don't think the statics would be accurate. If you really think about it, yes I am sure the loudness of pipes have saved a few lives, but there are ignorant teens out there who listen to the music (with bass) on full blast, so the pipes wouldn't really help in that situation. Kinda goes into play with the whole helmet thing. Sometimes it saves lives, others, it may not.

And...I don't ride to show off. I ride because I love it! It's the best stress reliever. Don't mistaken riders who ride because they enjoy it, with riders who do it to show off/get booty/and to act retarded.

So next time you hear loud pipes remember check out the situation from a riders veiw point. Not all of us are idiots!

If you read my post, it said "I love to ride, but am currently bikeless." I do check out the situation from a rider's viewpoint, and I also check it out from the viewpoint of someone whose child has been woken up by some tool pretending my street is the strip at IRP. I wasn't implying that you or Christyle were idiots because you have loud pipes.

I totally understand! My boy has been woke up by Loud motorcycles, loud cars, loud trucks, and loud stereos. Which happens a lot because where I live even though I live in a residential neighborhood I live close to a high school.
