    Why do some people think it's cool to have their motorcycle make unbelievably obnoxiously loud noise?

    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

      What I am totally baffled about is the new fad called the ?CaliLean?, where the front of the vehicle is raised. It looks stupid and is very dangerous, also looks like a dog dragging it's ass along the road.

        Agreed. I think the idea is that with the tilt of the vehicle, you're experiencing great luxury because you're reclined in the seat.

                            I've ridden and raced motorcycles all my life - went to the IOM TT and manx GP about 20 times and never felt the need to make more noise than was absolutely necessary - some people are just dumb

                              That's not testosterone, quite the opposite. Testosterone is the happy hormone that helps bone density, muscle mass, mood, etc. Only low T people with jealousy blame everything on T man. Loud peeps is just attention seeking and immaturity. There are plenty of low T dudes who are effeminate that also need attention.

                                          I can't see any gain in the trailing leg that racers do these days - it just looks WRONG

                                          In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP
