i live near a beach town, they have motorcycle parking and the scooters park in them. they should park by the bike racks. once had a guy try to park his scooter next to my bike. i told him to get lost, he asked if i was serious, said F yeah i am, this is for motorcycles and not that garbage, he left. the guy next to me said, hell yeah! scooters are annoying !
Oh yeah, Florida is crawling with them. Mostly the cheap $500 Chinese throw away ones. People riding around in flip flops and tank tops weaving around like they own the road with their 35 mph top speed.
I had two younger guys on scooters pass me going the opposite direction in a residential area and one gave me an overly obnoxious "moto bro wave". It was well played since it was obviously done because they knew the score.
When I moved between provinces, they neglected to give me my MC class on my license.
I had to take a safety course to get it back. When I showed up for the course, there was a guy in full leathers from head to toe, at first glance he looked like a bad *** crotch rocket rider. When they split up the group for MC and scooters, he headed away with the scooter group! I damn near pi$$ed myself laughing...
Question for the techies, I'm going back to stock exhaust on my recently purchased 2012 Fatboy lo. It came with V&H Big Radius exhaust. I like the look however, they are just too loud. I removed the baffles, wrapped them with fiberglass packing but although better they are still too loud. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them. I had Rhinehearts on my Electra Glide but those pipes terminated behind me whereas the Big Radius terminates right below me thus the noise. I'll probably end up with some performance slip-ons. My question is, will I need to remap my ECM? I have the Stage one breather or can the ECM compensate? Thanks
