Scruit Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Went to Iron Pony at ~11:30 to pick up a new lid. As I was walking up to the door I saw two sportbikes backed up onto the sidewalk facing directly away fro the door. They both started up, and it was clear they had straight pipes. Then they set off through the parking lot at full speed and the sound of the pipes was horrendous. Everyone within 100' feet jumped and not one of them appeared to be much impressed.Was that someone here? I mean honestly, that stuff just makes you look like a douche. They may think it's cool, but it's just not. Really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 the only time i ever find loud pipes like that to be acceptable, are on drag bikes....and i dont mean stretched slammed bling machines that never see the track....if someone legitimately races their bike at the track on a regular occasion, it doesnt bother me....although, those damn drag pipes are loudthe riders sound like douchebags, tearing through the parking lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go watch any car/bike/truck race then you should expect it to be very loud. That's racing.But if you're on the street... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Agreed - If you're legitimately set up for racing and you're at a race track then you can run whatever pipes is fastest. If you go watch any car/bike/truck race then you should expect it to be very loud. That's racing.But if you're on the street... you misunderstood...i know plenty of people with bikes they built for drag racing, and they get raced several times a week....if they ride the bike out to a bike night or a trip to iron pony etc, i see no problem with it...if the bikes actually have function, i dont see a problem...kinda like someone driving around a street/strip car with loud pipes, versus a high school kid with a straight piped civicnow, riding like douchebags in parking lot, and being obnoxious about having loud pipes are totally different things from what im talking about....those guys earlier seem like they would been douchebags on anything they were riding, even a vespa Edited October 19, 2010 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 you misunderstood...i know plenty of people with bikes they built for drag racing, and they get raced several times a week....if they ride the bike out to a bike night or a trip to iron pony etc, i see no problem with it...if the bikes actually have function, i dont see a problem...Sure. And if you're at bike night and the guy want to hear the pipes then sure, whatever. Just as long as you're not winding it up to WOT around people who have no desire to hear your pipes, then fine.

RC51 John Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 It was me. I put a Brocks POS set on the RC to see what type of reaction I'd get. Well looks like I need to put the Jardine's back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 My SUV puts about 338 HP to the wheels and going to straight pipes only adds 6 HP. There is no way anyone needs that little bit of extra HP % gain on a street bike. They just want to be attention whoring asshats. If they were worried about safety they would put a pipe on that faced forward. I don't like to ride behind anyone with a loud pipe no matter how they ride. That's why I try to get up front on group rides, because my ears are sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Annoying thread, again...Went to Ohio Riders at ~9:00 to check for new threads. As I was clicking on new posts I saw a thread sitting on the front page that caught my eye. I clicked on the thread, it was pretty clear it was a douche post. The dude started the post at full speed. Everyone reading the forums seem to notice the thread but most appeared not to give a shit.Am I the only douche here? I mean honestly, threads about others choices on motorcycles is really douchy. They may think it's cool, but it's just not. Really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
