Only in Noo Yawk and other disarmed hive cities does a motorcycle backfiring send the sheeple citiots running for cover. Out here in Free America, we practice with our Freedom Tools (rifles, pistols and shotguns) all the time.
We’re by no means “disarmed”, but we evacuated a mall yesterday because some moron yelled “SHOTS!!!!” after a stupid sign fell down. Folks are playing “better safe than sorry” or “paranoid as all hell” or “dumb as a stump”, depending on the agenda.
