Do Loud Pipes on Motorcycles Save Lives? CA Biker Lawyer Thinks So!

Re: Excellent post!

I'll have to try them. Triumph makes some pretty good heated grips too. That's about the only thing that bothers me is my fingers get cold.

I would have thought so too, but I risk divorce after every emission.



I borrowed her car the other evening and two hours after I came home she went into it to fetch something and came screaming back about how I fouled her car and how she had to roll all the windows down to air it out overnight. Sheesh!

Re: Excellent post!

81F. Don't hate on me cause I'm warm... and have rode 2K+ in the last month.

Re: Excellent post!

We got over 16 inches of rain in November, capped off by 4 or 5 inches of snow.

I didn't quite hit the 2 k mark this month I'm afraid

Air horns are better. You don't need an air tank. Fiamm sells horns that work with a small vacuum pump (about the size of a small, travel-size can of shaving cream). You can also buy very effective electric horns, but the air horns are better. And they are much better than loud exhausts.



I love the "the driver might panic if you use your horn and jerk the wheel and swerve right into you" posts. In 45 years of riding I've never seen that reaction.

You mean besides the whole LOOK-AT-ME-I'M-A-BIKER clueless dipsh*t thing?

Next thing you know, you will be a full-fledged GPTB member, and revel in all the advantages.

Re: Excellent post!

I was "old school" about it forever, ridin' ain't for weenies and all but... now any time it's in the 60's I'm packin' em. They just take a sec to install. The cold/rain/winds weed out the posers (OK, maybe wiser, safer, whatever) already. You can still be "that Crazy Guy on a bike in this weather"... comfortably.

There is also a safety factor, slow movin' fingers don't help in dealing with the still wacky cages, you know of which I speak.

I always try to go to Bike Night when it rains. Thins out those I'm not interested in talking about bikes with anyways.

Re: Excellent post!

At least our store clerks speakie english!

Taking the day off today sorry. Remember my training status report I am working 4-10 hour days. Friday, Saturday, Sunday is for my motorcycle training.

"revel in all the advantages."

Discounts on Viagra, hair transplants, do rags, mail-order brides, etc.

Maybe he wouldn't need his loud pipes if he didn't split lanes? It's not even legal to do in Texas.

Hey! I bribed you to get in! Just because I haven't paid up yet doesn't mean I won't! I am a proud GPTB member if not full-fledged (sniff, sniff, sob)!? I thought the only REAL requirement was not being KPaul.



If you think the rest of us don't feel slighted by not being included in KPaul's Holy Trinity of GPTB members you better think again, Mister!

Butt-aire

Like Austin Powers, I'm ok with my own brand.

Oh, and butt-aire is the upmarket version. The BMW of flatulance (insert anti-Beemer jokes here...)

Re: Butt-aire

Duly Noted....Butt-Aire it is..

This site is pretty awesome. I encourage everyone to read the "Blawg" entry, but I'll paraphrase:



BLAWG MEANS BLOG AND LAW. I AM GOING TO CALL MY BLAWG A BLAWG. READ MY BLAWG WHICH IS A BLOG ABOUT LAW.



PS I AM A real BIKER AND A BLAWGER ON MY BLOG. I RIDE MOTORCYCLES.

Re: Butt-aire
