First ride and car alarms
 
Title just about says it all, I unintentionally set off a few car alarms today as I took the bike out for my first ride of the season. Must of done that about 100 times now and it makes me laugh everytime

Why does it make you laugh?

Would you laugh if it was your vehicle?

I would

Nothing you can do about it, it happens.

It makes me laugh too. I'd never have a car alarm in my vehicle. Car alarms really don't do much these days. When they were new people paid attention to them. Now someone hears a car alarm and they don't even bother to look, it's just an annoyance. I really don't see the benefit of them these days, touch sensitive (vibration) alarms at least.

I remember riding though town once and setting off a car alarm, being the kind of character that I am, it made me laugh a little and also put a big smile on my face. I guess that my bike and I have an attitude and once in awhile we show it.

Back in the day, a cop would respond to a car alarm. Now no one cares.
In high crime areas like SF, "proximity" car alarms would activate just by walking too close to a vehicle.
Alarms are just an annoyance now, 99% are false.

Because its funny.

Yes. A guy rode by twice this morning and set off the alarm on my truck both times. Nothing you can really do about it.

I'm sure the people who owns the cars and their neighbors see you in a good way. //sarcasm

My kind of neighbor.
