Alot of bikes will whistle from the fuel tank, gas pressure. Sometimes they will talk to you. I even seen one of those road gremlins crawl out from inside a tank one time. He started ringing one of those road bells, next thing I know a leprichan popped up and a boxing match broke out. Gremlin was TKO by a bag of gold. I really need to check on the ventilation of my garage.
