Most people that discriminate these days, are living in the past...ie, "colors" that draw this type of attention. If a place sheltered one color in anothers's area, there tended to be problems. In the modern day era, this type of "head bustin'" between groups is rare....very rare.

Ah yes, BuMp! I did a BuMp monday night(11-12) when a Hamas suicide deer decided to try and take me out after sighting in my rifle at the Sportsman's club. It did a hole shot and bounded out right in front of me as I was cruising down the hwy. I steered to clear his ass, then he slowed down a bit and looked at me. Then I couldn't clear his hind quarters, so I braced for the impact. He took the bike out from under me and the bike and I slid down the hwy. What a mess! As I slid down the road I was going over all the parts on the sportster that were being ground off in my head. Thankfully I only imagined the side of the engine being ground up. The handlebar wiped my right thumb way out of place. That was the only injury I got.
My brother had the same problem a couple years ago on his Honda Ace.
Glad to hear that's all that happened!
Apparently they don' know that loud pipes save lives. Wussie cage drivers.
I was hoping for a nurse. LOL!
Yep, the deer ran off. I sure did want to pop him in the oven! I think the locals will collect him yesterday, or today.
Hey, I resemble that remark!
If your intent is to make him safer on his bike then don't stop with the loud pipes. Make him wear hunter orange, paint his bike florescent orange and put a strobe light on his florescent orange helmet. You do want to make him safer right?????
Tell you what, I'll make a deal with you: If you take those loud pipes off his bike, I won't insist on the florescent orange and I'll resist the urge to run him into a light pole after he has been sitting next to me at a red light revvin' his engine.....
My husband is a very careful and considerate rider unlike some cage drivers that you may resemble.
....and he already wears a reflective vest because of people like you.
I've probably ridden more miles on British bikes alone than you have on domestic. If the superior maneuverability, acceleration, and visibility we have as bikers isn't enough to keep you out of trouble, you aren't a safe rider. Those illegal noisemakers give all of us a bad name by annoying and distracting the majority of other motorists. Those like you are free to ride like that, and everyone else is free to refuse your business. The topic of this article is respect for motorcyclists. My point is that bikers shouldn't whine about not having the respect that they have done nothing to earn.
I understand that people make this complaint quite often, but I can't hear them over the cool sound of my Screamin' Eagle pipes.
I can't hear my pipes over the open intake on my Ducati 900
Loud intakes save lives. Ya mean it even drowns out the clutch rattle?
