My latest VFR, the horn button fucking SWITCHED SIDES.Three bikes. Five as sometimes I take my dad's out for a spin. All with different controls. At that split second in time, it was the twisty thing that I found quicker.
Try the directionals on a Harley.
Give it 20 more years...I wear ear plugs to sleep every night. But I wouldn't consider killing my wife for snoring.

Like barking dogs and crying children. The owners/parents seem to think nobody minds at all, so they do nothing to stop it. SMH
I have learned some interesting things.
At the Orlando cable park I wore a cool helmet with water proof padding. But out of a large group of riders, I was the only one to break both ear drums. One twice And it was before helmets were available. Ear protection is great until the office expects the workers to hear the intercomm. So communication becomes an issue. I suggested a flashing light when the intercomm was on. But not all my ideas went through.Ahh, I can see how the water stuff can do some damage. Ugh. Is there not protection for that sort of shit though?? Seriously? I mean the scalers and the wakeboarding. I've known folks in big construction to use both plugs and muffs. Likewise some of the gunz crowd. And are plugs useless in the case of falls on water? Seriously I'm asking - I have no clue.
Crazy shit does happen. And irresponsible behavior in general leads to much of it...
With the likes of some of you, clearly not.
No loss.
Oh, there's some irony in that story by the way...
What brought Mark and I together was a political battle against an ill-conceived law being introduced in NYC... to address the problem of loud bikes!

There's a campground in Meadows of Dan, VA that's bike only. The entrance is small enough you can't get a car in. It's absolutely wonderful. No big glamping rigs, just a lot full of tents with a small stream babbling by. Check it out if you're ever in SW VA. Right off the parkway and not too far from groceries and gas.
I've/We've been spoiled because of where we live. 20+ acres surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of acres of forest, brooks, and streams. We even have a waterfall and swimming hole next to the house. We go camping, and its all people. Our place pretty much ruined camping for us.
Ouch.
Sounds cool, no pun intended.
The water days were the best days of my life. But much like this thread had some controversy. I spoke my mind many times and gave up my Air Danno title for searching for the soul ride of wakeskating. Grip tape and a pair of vans soon had me blasting big air. Ha..now with road rash from the grip tape. But I held firm on my beliefs. Decades later my friends backed me on my stance. This eventually was a downfall of the sport. We had internal wars, fisherman wars and lake residents angered. The big wakes and loud music didnt help. I just wanted to return to the joy of sunrise glass water and just riders and static weight(concrete or lead) in the boat. And hopefully a world class driver..Ouch.
One could always be that guy and report the lack of a visual indication as a violation of accessibility requirements.

Good news about only being able to squeeze bikes in is no people from certain places that may be south of the American border bringing their [old days: box radios | now: full stereo systems, generators, etc.]. In/around the NYC metro, it was always a challenge to find that ever more elusive Place They Haven't Yet Found, so as to actually commune a little bit with nature or enjoy the sound of the surf, sans salsa.

I think back to the few neighbors I had as a 14 and 15 year old when my father first got me started riding. Not that all my bikes were loud, most were stock then but I rode almost constantly, whenever I could day and night, and would ride up and down my very rural street (4 or 5 houses total in 1/3 mile) doing wheelies and riding in the woods right next to the road for hours at a time.
Last 2 summers I have paddleboarded. It is very relaxing and challenging. And seems to be well accepted by all. I recommend everyone to try it once. You can sit, kneel or stand. The kit can be packed on the back of a bike for a two for one adventure day.
I hear ya, man. Similar situation here. I go to town for work everyday, otherwise it's hard to get me away from home 🙄I've/We've been spoiled because of where we live. 20+ acres surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of acres of forest, brooks, and streams.
