At least a wheelie is a controlled action. Regardless there are idiots on all sides.

Gotta love the people who install a loud exhaust, even though they live in an apt complex or otherwise crowded neighborhood where 20-30 of his neighbors are forced to wake up because he goes to work at 5 am. Or if they come home late at night, blipping the throttle unnecessarily as they roll in.

I shift into second anytime I'm in my complex, as it drops the sound A LOT. I hate it though when I go to warm the bike up in the AM it's cold blooded and I have to let it idle high for about 2 mins before I can shut off the choke and not have it die. jet kit will fix that for me though. |

I have to do that when I leave my girlfriend's apartment. It's full of a bunch of achivers though so most are up at 6:30am. I do face the exhaust away from the apartment and into some woods (in hopes that it helps some). It's jetted so I only have to let it idle for a very short time.

Everyone thinks it's someone else.
The canyon carvers think it's the stunters with their stupid wheelies, nonexistent blinkers / mirrors / etc and helmet mohawks. The stunters think it's the Harley guys with their stupid loud exhausts and drinking stops. The Harley guys think it's the canyon carvers with their Power Ranger suits and high speeds. Everyone needs to look in the mirror and be courteous instead of pointing fingers. |

Agree. I would also add that stupid isn't mutually exclusive to 2 wheels. |
