Would you prefer they called them Op-ad's?

While sitting in Coboconk last weekend eating lunch some douche rode through town on his loud harley with his stereo cranked because the shinny POS was so loud he couldn't hear his stereo otherwise. After crossing the river he realized that he was through the village so he turned around and serenaded the towns folk again. The table across from me ranged in age from retirement to 20's or so, all family I think. The older fellow remarked, "F***'n stupid a##***e." Which prompted the youngest woman to describe the South Park episode, resulting in much laughter, an agreement with the perspective and a discussion about compensating for tiny penises, and the propensity for old men on harley's to be wannabe outlaws.

There apparently was a ride for sight rally in Fenlon Falls so the Kawarthas were crawling with the noisiest and shiniest trailer queens and the SUV/trailer rigs that got them there.

To say that the guys on the loud cruisers or sportbikes, in the little crapbox ricers, the expensively decked out ricers, the jacked up 4X4's with the rumbly dual exhausts are doing it for any other reason than look-at-me is just kidding yourself.

Whether it's a mole hill, a mountain, or a pimple these dumbasses are easy pickings for the cops and going after them generates plenty of goodwill from the population in general.

Ate dinner downtown orillia. Tons of loud cars/trucks (straight pipe, crackle, driving in first etc). No bikes at all. Good job orillia riders. Enjoy riding this beautiful evening instead of posing downtown.

Honestly bikes get a lot more complaints filed than cars. Not saying there are more of them on the road but they annoy more people. Sport bikes and cruisers are both well represented in the complaints.

I partially suspect that’s because it’s easier for “average joe” to hear loud noise and point at a motorcycle than hear loud noise and identify what vehicle it’s actually coming from (that’s not a motorcycle)

Edit: meaning when a motorcycle is or is not around
