Here we go again. People need to just mind their own business and stay out of mine.

I like this post from the comments in the article....
Metalman=
It's not the motorcycles it's the knuckle-heads controlling the throttles that make the noise. Just like it's the knuckle-heads who run around with low restrictive exhaust on their cars and trucks, and the knuckle-heads who let their dogs bark day and night. I can (and do) ride a potentially loud motorcycle without disturbing people, by simply taking it easy on the throttle. If the police could be relied on to issue tickets in an objective and fair manner, it would be nice to see them stifle all disturbing noise, but we all know that that is not going to happen. It would also be nice for people treat others with respect, and care about whether or not they disturb others, but we know that is also not going to happen.
pretty much says it all imo

Default Tire Pressure

Since this is as good a place as any, now that the weather is cooling off, just in case you have forgotten, you ought to check your tire pressure.

Yeah, I agree with that post Blargh quoted too. However, I'm sick and tired of all of this nanny crap. Ban this, ban that. What happened to America and the freedoms we used to enjoy?
Some fine fellas from this Mitchell (Bitchell) guy's local 1% MC needs to pay him a little visit and "persuade" him to mind his own busy-body business.

Thanks for reminding me. I haven't let out the summer air yet and put in winter air. Better get it done before this weekend....

Meanwhile back at the ranch... I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't any problem finding "stuff" that the complainer does that annoys other people... like complain too much!!! I do agree that it's only a matter of time before the sound thing gets hammered out in the courts...

What kind of stabilizer do you use? I tried pledge, but it's hard to squirt into the stem.
