This is to convert them into Look-at-Me bikes.  It has a two-fold result; it gives poorer fuel consumption; it alerts any cop within two square kilometres.  Unfortunately deafness is a prime quality to enter RTP.

Same on Beach Road.  Add, the boom boxes partying at the beach till 6 am.

 

It is all annoying as hell.  But, what did I do as a teenager?  Had a muscle car with a modified exhaust the louder the better.

So, teenage testosterone driven stupidity.

I was thinking along those lines as I followed a modified bike the other day... all noise above substance. The bike making a racket had no real power and was a bit of a wreck, but the kid looked happy to be making a lot of noise.
