Every year, the motorcylces make me wish that good weather had never come [View All]

You know, that beautiful day, the one where you just have to open up the windows. And the cats just love it. They get up on the window sill and they sleep in the sun.

Then it comes..... that obnoxious loud rumble that makes sure that you can't hear the person who's sitting across the table and talking to you, or you can't hear the TV, or you can't hear the music you've got playing.

If cars get that loud, the cops pull them over and cite them.

But not bikes. There's some theory that a bike has to be loud because people don't see them as readily as they see cars. If I had a dime for every time I saw a biker driving up between cars in the lanes at the traffic light, or down the breakdown lane when there's traffic. If a bike wants to be seen it needs to stay in it's proper lane. It doesn't need to be loud.

There's those bumper stickers that say "Look twice, motorcycles are everywhere" and I always want to add "except where they are supposed to be."
