  • I have a Ducati Monster 1100 with a Termignoni exhaust that is borderline obnoxious. It makes all the right vroom vroom noises, making me feel like a very special boy. I am solicitous of others though and moderate my throttle action in residential areas to keep it mellow. I do agree though that loud pipes can alert drivers that might otherwise not notice you.














  • Yes, they got scammed, but I did my best to warn those around me, and they laughed and ridiculed me, calling me a “libtard” and “cucked”. Now, I have to suffer along with these morons while American democracy circles the drain. ALL OF THIS WAS COMPLETELY FORESEEABLE AND ACTUALLY FORESEEN BY ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN. Does it suck for them and is sad? Sure, 100%, but they’ve made it suck for me and millions of others. What of the families torn apart by ICE thugs? Are they lamenting that? No, because they only give a shit about themselves and how they inadvertently hurt themselves when they thought that Trump was only going to “hurt the right people”, meaning the people they hate. Accordingly, IMHO, a bit of schadenfreude is a normal reaction for everyone who easily saw all this coming.



  • I’m wondering how much of it is the distraction factor? In an effort to keep my weight in check, I’ve shifted to biking as my main form of transportation to get around the city. I live an area of higher elevation, so pretty much anytime I go anywhere over a mile or so away, I’m in for a serious hill climb on the way home. I listen to a lot of music, and one thing I’ve noticed is that it distracts me from noticing the effort, especially on the long, steep grinding hill home. I’ll be rocking out, and next thing I know I’m at the top. Maybe having a vibrator jiggling your leg tendon is doing more or less the same thing by distracting you from muscular strain, etc.?
