Politicians can't take care of crime, immigration (illegal or otherwise), energy issues, healthcare access or our education system but they can apparentlyf**k with motorcyclists.

 

People who can't run their own lifes, seem to be quite good at trying to run everyone else's.

One day this country is just gonna puke all over itself.............. Uh, doing a pretty good job of it now.

I think you all down there should kick the restaraunt owners back in the shins, and make them move their friggin tables off the sidewalks, and back inside where they belong. Get on the local health departments @ss about the hazards of eating outside, contaminated food etc.
Better yet patronize the restaraunts, eat outside and get conveniently sick then blame it on eating outside, and go to the media about.
No more complaints about motorcycles disturbing the customers outside. They want to eat outside, let them go to the restaraunts on the seashore and watch the waves (no Harleys there).

That just goes to show you how a few losers with loud pipes can ruin it for the masses.

 

This has alteady happened in parts of Germany where bikes are banned from some towns at night.

 

that's terrible!

over here in L.A. the problem is with these idiots who put these lame exhuast to make their little civic or whatever sound like a jet up til 10 miles away.

 

I agree.

I know everyone here likely loves the sound of three or four pairs of straight pipes roaring away from a light, and I used to, as well. But with so many bikes on the road today it is becoming almost as big a pain as these stupid BoomBoxes on wheels and the aforementioned Honda 'CivicJet' exhausts.

Don't be a spode, folks. Don't wind your straightees thru the neighborhood after 10:00PM ... don't blip your throttles at lights ... don'troar thru town shifting at 4000 RPM when the civilians are having Sunday morning brunch at the sidewalk cafes. Use a little common sense and have some respect for others. And above all ... educate the newbies to do the same.

When I was in my early 20s I used to **** and moan and threaten lawsuits when bars wouldn't let me fly my colors. I didn't care that patch holders had been instigating fights in the cowboy bars almost every weekend. Now that I have a few years on me I can fully understand why they didn't want us in. No one liked us ... we weren't cool ... we were just azzholes looking for excitement on Saturday night at other people's expense.

Whether it's flying our cut in a public place or rapping straight pipes on Sunday morning. We are our own worst enemy. We always have been.

 

look who is talking.

 

So, by using this logic, when you live ona bus route, (as I did years ago), you should try to outlaw buses because you can't hear the TV as they stop next to your house and then accelerate away.
Oh, and I also want to outlaw airplanes, as they tend to be loudas they fly overhead, (helicoptors included).
And babies and kids, man, I hate it when I'm in a restaurant and kids are screaming at the next table.
Or when the kids are outside playing having fun, they tend to be kinda noisy.
And dogs, the neighbors dogs, barking all the time, sometimes associate with a happy screaming kid.(should we outlaw the two togehter? Kids and dogs, bad mix....)
Sunday morning church bells, we need to make them stop too, my saturday night hangover is still around, and that bell noise doesn't help!
Fire engines, police car sirens, ambulances are too loud for me too. Oh, and people screaming when they get hurt, let's fine them, I find that annoying.
Guns, which would take away hunting too! But then how can we get rid of those pesky loud geese I want to outlaw?
Let's not stop there, we need to outlaw hammers too, they tend to make a lot of noise. (those damn home projects, let's outlaw home improvement)
Air compressors, most power hand tools, constuction all together, jack hammers, road work, bitching women, car horns, radio, musical instruments, farts, music all together, and just about anything anyone else can disagree with.

So what's next? Where do we stop? This country is going down the tubes trying to make every minority interest group happy.

So, as stated somewhere above, people need to get a life and stop worrying about others.

I'm older now, and did many stupid thing when younger, but still find the need to smile when someone else does the same stupid stuff I may have done years ago. Ahhhh, the memories of youth, most people tend forget how stupid they really were. (and I guess some of us still are)

But I'm sure the ones doing this stuff trying to outlaw bikes never had any fun anyway, as they spent their entire life trying to get that big fat stick out their butts!

We all dislike certain things in life, but we need to learn to get over them, and get on with life.....

 

What a bunch of crap !

 

Thats an extreme position hope they come to their senses before it gets ugly. The buisness owners should be the ones to defeat this it will hurt themthe most. Law enforcement is just that a complete ban? Thats like closing the school because 3 kids cut class
