I think the only asshole here is you. You can enjoy riding HD without being an asshole. Big engines are loud, they need to breathe. People like you are the ones who promote cancel culture. Anything that is of slight annoyance to you must be banned. No tolerance.

Exactly. Motorcycle assholes should take their deafening fart sounds somewhere 20 miles away from human or animal habitation. Maybe to a desolate salt flat or something.

The bikes that violate vehicular noise laws should be confiscated and scrapped at the owner’s expense, and their riders’ motorcycle licenses revoked.

> slight annoyance

Subjecting your innocent neighbors to aural assault is a sadistic crime, not a slightly annoying hobby.

Deafening? The only one who will suffer hearing damage is the rider.

Next time get your decibel meter out and you will probably find you are just as offended by bikes within the legal limit. You sound like that type of person. Probably live a very sheltered life with no real problems.

No, we don't like them out in nature either.

Oh, bullshit: There are lots of even bigger engines that are less loud. Compare that .75-l Honda or 1.5-l Harley-Davidson against, say, a 6-liter Mercedes-Benz.

Q.E.D.

The assholes are those who come up with these feeble excuses for their antisocial behaviour.
