Got a few of them. I keep one in the truck even.Chainsaws do that well....
Not to put too fine a point on it, I am Trials born and bred, Trials has everything going for bike control, after you got trials sorted anything else you do in motorcycling falls into place much easier.You didn't strike me as a street fighter guy. My respect for you just grew 😁
Met Malcolm in 2016 during his book tour. What a genuinely nice guy , riveting stories and infectious smile .Speaking of Legends
Malcolm Smith won eight gold medals between 1966 and 1976 at The International Six Day Trials
this was a false rumour that surfaced 1 year or so ago.
But, I agree I hate loud bikes/exhausts/music/noise/anything.
There is a lot of more important stuff to worry about. That does not mean that we should be doing nothing about this. We can multitask. Of course, "evolved, sophisticated human" would not force unnecessary noise upon others.Yeah, lots of things make unnecessary noise, not sure why motorcycles in general get some people up on a high horse. I much enjoy quiet things, so I'm not defending loud pipes.
Kinda how two stroke guys like to shit on four stroke guys for their bikes being too loud and getting trails shut down. Whatever. That high pitched , sustained scream of a two stroke is way more noise than a 4t making low burping noises. I grew up on two strokes but now I avoid them because the sound gives me a headache. Nobody's right or wrong, it just personal preference.
People have biases and they're rarely fair, because that's how people and biases work. I don't get a kick out of loud bikes, but they're probably less than 10% of the loud shit I have to deal with regularly. Certainly not the epidemic the loud pipe haters culture club makes it out to be.
"Let me tell you how mad this noise makes me so you can understand how much more of an evolved, sophisticated human I am". Yeah, there's more important shit to worry about.
Totally agree.There is a lot of more important stuff to worry about. That does not mean that we should be doing nothing about this. We can multitask. Of course, "evolved, sophisticated human" would not force unnecessary noise upon others.
