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

    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.

          Buy an autonomous vehicle, put a laz-e-boy in it, set the destination in the autopilot and take a nappy-poo.

            I tend to think that it's a lot like an infant with a noisemaker toy.

              South Park addressed this a couple years ago. Worth checking out the entire episode, even though it contains 'bad' language (as does this clip): South Park Bikers[^]

                          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.

                                :sigh: your just an old fart, loud, flashy and fast is the hallmark of the young and stupid. Personally I like the idea of the electric bikes, a gentle whine at the threshold of hearing.

                                          Do they drive past you whilst coding. Are they a common feature in your neck of the woods so as to be a frequent nuisance whilst commuting to favorite coffee shop. I have been fortunate to reside in locales some distance from main roads w/ result small number of traffic. However I am intimately acquainted w/ loud noise. At a prior such residence a quiet condominium w/ exception of insane neighbors on one occasion the grass trimming / cutting was performed w/ a powered hand held device emitting such volume I was unable to hear my own thoughts and had the impression w/o exaggeration a 1,000lb gorilla was in my room. How the operator maintained his hearing I can not imagine. Thankfully as stated it was a one time event. As for insane neighbors I can only hope they reside in the most insane parts of hell.
