Don’t really care for Loud Pipes, for everyday driving.
Sometimes, enjoy them on Custom bikes. Sometimes.
Live next to a tar Co Road, it is, ‘THE’, road to go between two small towns, which I live about in-between.
So usually on nice Sat’s & Sun’s, I Hear, ‘Music’, Then Really LOUD Pipes.
As I am 200 +/- yards away, I just stop and watch the eye candy.
As 50 - 150 Harley's, drive past.
But In Town, in a Residential area. Those who drive with LOUD, pipes,
are Just like the DFI’s, who shoot at Signs, in Public Hunting areas.
They make anybody with a Motorcycle, (or gun), look Bad !
Their was one time. The fellow I worked with at a Gun Shop, passed away, (Agent Orange), he drove a full dress Harley, with, ’normal’ pipes. He was also a member of a local bike club, which is a rather, ‘exclusive’, club.
His wife, didn’t want a, ‘funeral’, so she had a , “party”
Was driving my XT-225 then, (Can you say Monkey riding a peanut),
Had a 20”, 12g, ’coach’, old style, hammer, shotgun broke down, tucked in the back..
I was one of the first their.
Then The, ‘Exclusive’ bike group came. Don’t think there was One of them, that cost less then $20,000.00 and MANY at $30,000.00, and Some, ‘Orange County’, ones at 50,000.00 +.
I Literally Had to put my fingers in my ears, as 70+ Bikes, came, ‘ROARING”, into the drive.
( A Suburban House on Lake Minnetonka, MN)
BUT WHAT EYE CANDY !!!!!!!
As the group was milling around having a beer and brats, Loud Music, Loud talking, I went to the front yard, Fired a Shot over the lake, broke the firearm, (Side x Side, 12g, 3 “, Black Powder), turned, and addressed the crowd. (You could have heard a Pin Drop in a Plowed Field), “Butches Ashes, Yada Yada Yada.”. Then turned and fired the other, (VERY LOUD and SMOKEY) Shot. Everyone Cheered and ‘Whooped’…
About a hour later the group, of, MC’s that came, all fired up and Left.
It was a SUPREME, Tribute, Supreme !!!!
However, the people living a mile + Away, as they had to go 3 miles before they hit a ‘major’ road.
Had me wondering.
As in This part of town, ANY ‘LOUD’, group, and ANY, ’Shots Fired’, would, IMMEDIATELY have been a call to the Police
None EVER showed up. (They KNEW). The ‘Police’ never came their.
But what of the other, 100 + People,
Who did NOT know of this, ’Tribute’, What did they think,?
((“Oh Ya, a Bunch of MC People, why are all, A.H.’s”))
As a side note, While the people that came, Most knew me, and I knew most of them,
NEVER ONCE, they EVER, ‘comment on the, XT-225, I was driving’.
CLASS ACT !!!!!!
Loud Pipes. their is, a time and Place,
And that, ‘place’ is not Everyday driving.
(My Opinion)
