I just had a taste of Sturgis here in Sheboygan.

[Archae]

Over a dozen Harleys were just on one street a block away, roaring past, heading east.

I don't know of any biker events going on, have to look in community announcements later.

But wow, what a racket.

8. Not if you head east.

2. Mmmm a taste of Sturgis 😋

I had a motorcycle guy explain to me once that the noise serves as a safety measure too. People don’t see bikes as well so the noise alerts drivers to their presence.

4. That "safety" argument would be more believable...

...if it came from riders who wear helmets, or who believe that a turn signal is more than a casual flick of the index finger at hip level.

They just like the noise.

3. I live on a township road

Where the speed limit is 40 mph

Several times a summer a group of motorcycles will roar by, I have counted 25 or more a few times, and boy are they loud.

5. In my younger, poorer days, I've been pulled over, ticketed, and fined for a loud muffler...

...that was much quieter than the pipes favored by many motorcycle enthusiasts.

Most of the bikes sporting those custom pipes are not within the law, just as my Mazda with its rusty exhaust was not. But police are understandably reluctant to open that can of worms.

6. u should hear them roar past our church on sunday.

during the serman the priest has to stop every so often, but, the old saying " the show must go on." this happens mainly in the summer.

7. And they ride in packs like that...

Through places like Yellowstone and then complain about not seeing any animals on the ride through.

9. What about the big fat ass on the bike in front of them?

Only Harley with a hernia.

[flotsam2]

12. Except the "fatass" on this scooter

is riding a 49-125CC "mini-chopper" as opposed to a normal 1200+ CC Harley Davidson with the 49cc version being a "street legal" scooter being legally restricted to 30mph: Photos here-

10. Our 7th Republican District Legislator Jesse P. Gooch

Has been advertising and organizing Thursday night concerts at a local park for the past month during a raging pandemic. Not only do I get tired of listening to this every Thursday night, but only 52% of our county is vaccinated. He also belongs to a bike club too, but luckily that Covid party wasn't held in our county.

The concert goers were complaining online about how long the beer lines were. Priorities.

11. I like biker culture.

Well, except for the bikes.

And the big-bearded, big-bellied guys.

And the torn denim.

And the Nazi imagery.


Okay, the ladies and the leather! All right? I like the ladies and the leather!...

Sheesh!
