So what about everyone else? I wear hearing aids. Trust me you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.

I have hearing loss as well, and constant tinnitus, so trust me, I do know what you are talking about, but the motorcycle didnt cause it.
There is always someone out there who will complain about the sound level of your bike, or muscle car, or stereo, one mans music is another mans noise.
I dont know what you have for exhaust on your car, but even if its semi loud great sounding exhaust, its a good bet that someone has shook their fist at you as you drove by them
But I will agree with you on one thing, some bikes are REALLY loud, but then again, so are some cars.

That's the point. Straight pipes on my Harley. When coming up on a car and I'm not sure they know I'm there I crack the throttle and instantly see eyes in their mirror. Loud pipes save lives.

I have a better idea. How about an emoji of a bottle of bleach being poured into a pair of eyes.

How's this?

If you live in North America and you measure distances in KMs, you probably are from Canada.

And buy wood in feet

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Yep. It's not the bike that causes hearing loss. It's the wind. Speak up, I can't hear you.

Same as driving around with the left window down. It'll effect your hearing in time

When we were at Sick Kids in Toronto we had our daughter's hearing checked out and found out she is profound. The audiologist said we start to lose our hearing right from day one. Some sooner than others

The solution to that problem is to install cutouts.
Heh heh heh...

My motor isn't measured in cc's!

Don’t get me started, even our masonry units are metric. Working on a Government project all blueprints are in metric, all lumber is imperial. The amount of waste trying to fit a square peg in a round hole is amazing Maybe those tariffs Trump will impose will fix that problem.

Here anything newer than 1976 are. IE 5L mustang, 6.5 Cummins diesel in a dodge truck, 7.3 international diesel in a ford truck. I could go on. But that for a different page

So, I hafta ask our metric members, when you're working on your car, what ratchet do you put your 10mm socket on? Hopefully not a 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" drive ratchet! It's things like this that keep me up at night thinking.

Exactly. Perfect!

So 98% of the world uses the metric system and we’re wrong

If you remember back in 1977 the US was supposed to change when we did but then they backed out at the last moment

 

[Mark Wainwright]

The Canadian government would help pay for the metric tools and they would also buy a new tool box if needed.
So if you bought say 500 bucks worth of tools they would pay 500 towards a new tool box. Great program
