My sympathies on your Dad. It’s been 7 years for mine but seems like yesterday. I see from your name you’re probably in SC - my dad was a Citadel grad.
“You’re also an arrogant SOB... the kinda guy I like to hang out with.”
Yeah, but what gets me is that the arrogant SOB’s that are trying to defend loud pipes won’t admit that they just want the attention. I’m not for legislating it away, mind you, but they won’t admit the obvious. So I tweak ‘em here and there just because that’s how I get attention!
These guys should just admit they like to get attention with the loud pipes like spoiled children, and that there is no other practical reason, and then, God bless ‘em, I’d be on their side, as long as they don’t move into my neighborhood!
My little secret is that I’m more annoyed by bright high beams on a motorcycle than I am by the noise, but I don’t want to give them any inkling that they annoy me in any way, they might want to rub it in after the fun I’ve had at their expense today.
Here’s to your Dad - he did OK with at least one of his sons.
“Yeah, but what gets me is that the arrogant SOB’s that are trying to defend loud pipes won’t admit that they just want the attention.”
That is exactly what we are trying to tell you. Pay attention and put the phone-book-coffee-ipod etc down or exit your daydream stupor while we are trying to get by.
Do you ride?
That's the true definition of arrogance. I have explained to you in detail my attraction loud pipes, yet you insist on projection other motives on to me. Perhaps you should take more bikers on their word instead of claiming to understand us better than we understand ourselves?
