I have to agree about loud pipes doing very little for getting noticed by inattentive drivers. I hope you don’t rely on loud pipes when I have my windows up, stereo turned up loud, and you’re behind me with your exhaust pointed even further behind me. I see lots of loud Harleys around […]
Because it’s fun (ok, perhaps not the falling bit and hurting yourself but that’s something that goes with the territory), it’s challenging and it makes you feel more alive than sitting in front of your computer asking "why people do this stuff". Would you be happy living your life knowing you’ve not done anything daring […]
At first I thought Robbie Maddison had bails of money in Vegas that stacks up 65 feet high but it just didn’t sound right. Then I thought he had that much in casino winnings, but no. Next, I thought Robbie was about to jump out a window of a hotel 65 feet up, still no. […]
Website please. for source please.
Of course we should all note drag co-efficient is not equal to actual drag. Drag coefficient does not take into account frontal area. And of course note motorcycle is a very broad category. Riding position and fairing can vary drag immensely.
If we assume a Ducati and other sports bikes are to […]
The first set of CD numbers (the high ones), are not from any tests. It is ambiguous from how they were come from except that they were from a DOS program written by a website author who has written for a while.
The second set of numbers is from the International Human Power Vehicle Associations. A […]
I ride a bike 10 months out of the year, and I try to keep my bike as silent as possible. I get really annoyed a bikes that have loud exhausts, (and cars too). A lot of people don’t appreciate tranquility.
Do I get cut off? Yep. Worst I had was riding down from […]
Fuckstick, angled out a couple degrees maybe. Mostly straight back. Show me evidence otherwise. All are pointed mostly straight back making me wonder what, if any, the relevance of your first comment.
You must be one of the types I’m commenting on. Not only have loud pipes been debunked a number of times, how about you […]
So I’m guessing you object to seatbelts, airbags, emissions standards, and other regulation of the auto industry, hm? So you should be able to drive something two lanes wide on a public road that belches raw coal and leaves lead runoff in its wake, right? Regulations are bad, because you want […]
"loud pipes save lives", silent?
Riddle me this, which direction do your pipes point? Out towards the back?
Hmmmm, that might explain why motorists still don’t notice you. Loud pipes are a bullshit excuse for weekend riders to show off their extensions. It pisses me off when I hear a bike tearing through downtown rattling windows and […]
I am simply illustrating that just because my PC is putting out a minuscule amount of environmental stress, the advance of technology has compelled many companies to put power-saving features on their product. They aren’t just going to big massive server rooms, or business PCs, but rather a relatively small population of enthusiast […]
