Not me. Guess I am a slow learner.
I've been involved with bikes for about 35 years now. Most of that time was spent believing that a motorcycle was a device designed for converting fuel and air into noise. Then, one day I woke up and realized that I am an old man and I don't need to shout "Hey, everybody! Look at me!" anymore. At 53, trust me, nobody wants to look anymore anyway.
The pipes on my bagger are just slightly louder (deeper) than stock because I like to hear what my engine is doing. I have lots of younger Brothers with loud pipes, and that's OK... as long as they understand that I am going to INSIST on riding on their left when riding in a pack. (I call it the "Greybeard privilege).
My advice (whether you want it or not)?
Be young. Be bold. If pissing other people off is your thing, HAVE AT IT! Just be prepared to take your lumps, whether it is on the street, or an internet forum. Have all of the fun you can, cause nobody's getting out of here alive.
But be honest. Don't blow smoke up anybody's ass about safety and all that crap. Just admit that you like to be noticed. It's NORMAL when you are young. Why do you think all of these otherwise pretty young things are turning themselves into human tackle boxes with the "piercing" craze?
Raise Hell, just not on MY street.
Sorry, all of that wasn’t intended for you, Toad. I was just throwing it out there for the general audience.
