Yesterday on my ride into work, some douche on a Japanese Harley pulled up around me and the car in front of me at a light. I think he might have known the person in the car. He was revving and blipping his throttle. Dude, it's a Japanese bike with electronic ignition it ain't gonna stall!
The light changes and he's off in a fury of sound.
What struck me was as I started to go I was passed by a BMW like this one:
It was so quiet, I had no idea it was even there.
In the afternoon, I was passed by 3 couples riding BMW touring bikes. Some of the most attractive and friendly women I've ever seen on the back of a bike.
Just saying...
In other exciting commuter developments, I've noticed 3 pesky lights have been magically changing for me. Usually if the are red, the stay red. All I can figure is now that it is truly dark on my morning commute they have some sort of light sensitive motion detector that my headlight is triggering.
I like it.

Hoo boy... Don't get me started. "Just sayin" doesn't begin to cover it. I grew up with alot of motorcycles - including several marques the Harley boyz bow to - not that it really matters..
None of them required excess noise to be commandeered with respect, skill or safety.
Em's Dad has a BMW. Whisper quiet.
