Summer is coming in hot, and the impending heat is set to once again break the prior year’s record-breaking temperatures…

    Loud “to save lives” 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉

    If you think you need to be loud to be safe, just switch your horn to “on”.

    Oh, you wouldn’t do that? Why wouldn’t you do that?

      100% agree. Soundproofing in modern cars is incredible now. I drive a 12.L basic shitbox and I can’t hear these fucking babies until they’re right beside me. Borrowed a Cayenne the other week and they’re basically inaudible

      Loud pipes annoy pedestrians and cyclists. Drivers don’t notice

      Fuckin infants

          The vast, vast majority of drivers where I am are fully aware of motorcycles and other road users

          Don’t assume every driver is the same the world over

            What makes you think your region is somehow better at that than the other regions? The reality is that you’ll find careless people everywhere. And there is a difference between “very loud chopper shaking windows” which is a dick move, and “motocycle with a regular engine that you can hear”. Electric motorcycles are 100% silent, you only hear the tires. It’s basicaly like encountering a bike on the road. There absolutely needs to be some feedback for people to know about them, especially when they’re overtaking in traffic etc.

      Even the horn doesnt help sometimes.

      When the other (car-) driver is in the zone / ignorant he wont see or here you.

      Drive like a ghost.
