Some Harley's here almost blow my little car off the road, solely by the sound pressure coming off the damn things.

I wouldn't ride a loud car either, and that's also popular with what i call Mujaffa exhaust systems.

Just like i knew Blue ( not least Blue LED lighting in everything ) stopped being trendy in 2005 i now know loud are not trendy, real men drive stealth.

You wont hear me coming and then whooosh and i am gone again.

PS. no i dont drive a tesla, but i co funded a lot of those via my taxes and the tax cuts electric cars got here.

Then you must have never RODE a bike in traffic..... Cagers who are chatting on the phone, applying makeup , don't forget the eaters....
Thank You But I will always have LOUD pipes until we get some respect.

If you can't SEE me than DAMMIT you will HEAR me

Problem is, you will never make any power on a single cylinder engine like mine with a restrictive exhaust. I do run the quiet insert in mine though, won't even pass track day tech without it. LOL

It's not everyday a McLaren SLR shows up at the shop!

[wings_of_fire]

I am wondering what work was to be performed on that SLR that it did not go to their authorised service centre... or may be the owner was in a hurry.

Yes i am well aware of the "cagers" misbehaving, the 6 cameras in my car capture so much stupid i often just have to throw my arms in the air and give up exposing these douche-bags.

But 2 wrongs don't give 1 right, and at least here there are a cap on how loud vehicles cam be.

ATM i think the MAX level are 82 Db ( A ) for a motorcycle with a displacement over 175 CCM

For cars i think its the same, not sure about semi trucks.

Captured this pig last night driving home, there are absolutely no reason to throw garbage from your car, this is a sign of 100% douche-bagness.

This is a Mercedes dealership...one of the items it was in for are new struts for the gullwing doors, the original ones were sagging! Over $800.00 for each strut!

You can have a set of pipes on a vehicle and still not behave like a douchebag, provided you're capable of behaving like an adult in the first place. I don't ride after dark, or really early in the morning, nor do I bomb through residential areas on the rev limiter. You'll never know I'm there, unless I need for you to know I'm there. And people with loud ass car stereos at 3AM are no better.

You need to explain that to my orthopedic surgeon, he keeps making money off my battered bones, cause the didn't see me....

Thanks for clearing that.
I misunderstood your previous statement.

So, $800 for each eh? .... that's cheap!

found a bunch of old pictures and movies from the days of working on marlboros racing sponsorships. iirc this was the last shoot before tobacco had to get out of racing, '06 i think. very hard work but always fun. so much fun... this was from when we still shot film. shoots like this were generally 100k individual shots to have to go through individually after the shoot to boil down to around 100 to get scanned into a digital file and then retouched. boxes and boxes and boxes of slides...

the camera car is a raced out hotchkis el camino with a 540 bbc in it, and was originally made to be the camera car on days of thunder. ive seen all sorts of neat camera cars, but it was by far the coolest ive ever seen.

Loud pipes don't save lives. That myth has been debunked many times over. And you can prove it yourself next time a loud bike passes you on the highway. You won't hear it until it's right next to you or in front of you.
Nobody can hear a motorcycle, even if it's really loud, when it's behind them on the road.

What we need is harsh punishments for cagers that kill motorcyclists in "accidents".

Very cool! Do you still do films?

I want that Honda scooter (forget the name of it) more than anything else in those photos.
