Finally a new day has dawned and the light can shine through!
Let me start off saying I'm on the enlightened west coast, don't worry the rest of you will catch up, so most of what we feel out here shall become reality. I have confirmed most of these thoughts with my fellow Californians so it must be true.
Lane splitting must be outlawed! It's just plain frightening for those that are being passed and gives us motorcyclists a bad name. I was sitting in traffic the other day in my Prius with my fellow commuters and this Majesty blew by doing at least 35 and nearly scared the wetness right out of me. What gives motorcycles the right to cut in line anyway? They should have to wait just like everyone else. Bann it!
Loud after market pipes are an abomination. Can you honestly tell me with today's technology that putting those carbon fiber thingies on your exhaust you are gaining any real performance? The vehicle is already capable of well over the speed limit so what's the point. Economy and fuel savings should be your concern. For about the same money you could bolt on a few hundred photocells and have enough electricity to run all those "farkles" while helping the environment. Ban the pipes! It you want to be an individual and express yourself get a tattoo, piercing or grow your hair long.
Last but not least a little rant on consumption. We have too many choices and whine when god forbid a widget we really didn't need in the first place is not made or available for instant gratification. Maybe this world would be a better place if we just learned to live with what is offered and not try to go A-La-Cart on everything in life. The motorcycle manufacturers spend millions each year on studies to know what we like and how we like it. If they wanted us to have highway pegs, bar risers and custom decals they would have offered them to us. The tires that come on any of these bikes should be just fine if you ride the vehicle correctly and within the limits of the law. And carbon fiber… please, only closed course race vehicles can even benefit from its use. The high-tech market needs it for real world uses, please refrain from using it and make the world a better place. If you absolutely must have the go-fast look, break down and get some of the vinyl adhesive faux carbon fiber the smart riders are using. All the bling at a fraction of the cost!
I'd like to thank the powers that be for opening up the forum to enlightened discussion. I would encourage everyone to also join with me in asking Mr. Warchild to change his forum handle to a more joyous and harmonic name like Ladybird or Soft Flannel.
Wishing everyone peace, love and harmony.
