11. Motorcyclists enjoy being obnoxious by unnecessarily revving their engines
12. Motorcyclists don’t believe that traffic laws and lanes apply to them and often pass on the right especially when in heavy traffic

touche. The rest of the world refers to the medical “community” as drug addicts, for good cause.
ALL motorcyclists?
Really?
I believe the standard response to that is "loud pipes save lives".
Oh really? We're all obnoxious, huh? Nice. BTW, on occassion I DO rev the engine. Why? Because sometimes you can tell the soccer mom on her cell phone driving the SUV behind you or turning at the intersection across you path doesn't even see you. Can't count the number of times I've seen the startled wide-eyed shocked look when they realize they were about to drive right over me. (Actually, not -- I'm prepared to evade in that situation, but doing so would often require an illegal move. But we're all lawbreakers anyway, so maybe I should just do that from now on.)
Loud pipes can save lives. But since we're all obnoxious, I guess that's unnecessary, eh?
Well you didn’t exactly say “Donorcycle”, but close enough. 8 posts into the thread. We might have a new record.

#14. Intentionally endanger the life of a motorcyclist with your negligent or reckless driving, or deliberately provoke the motorcyclist, and he may machinegun you and the occupants of your vehicle.
You’re back in this, now.
Suit up.
I was proceeding eastbound on a street in town here when a driver exiting a parking lot started to roll out after looking directly at me. I realized he was also looking into the sun and could not see me. The 'unnecessarily' loud noise I made by grabbing the clutch and revving the engine alerted him to my presence, saving us both from having a bad day.
What you perceive as 'unnecessary' may not be readily apparent as prudent.
But then, you have 'thought about' getting a motorcycle.
If you had one, you'd know.

Not without my express authorization, they don't.
