Bike sounds you hate.....

Post by Bigjawa »

Following in from the other thread, what sounds get on your wick.

For me it's 125 four strokes with stupid earsplitting exhausts, and because the fuelling is screwed up so much, the things are so slow they take ages to get out of earshot.

Two strokes without expansion chambers
Four stroke twins
Four stroke singles
Wankels
V4 four strokes
Square 4 four strokes

We always kept a finger on the clutch lever. It generally happened when you shut off at end of a straight.

17 year old scrotes on 125s with beancans used to be the worst. I heard one that trumps even that the other day though, a 4 stroke scooter on a beancan. CVT gearing means the revs rise/fall very little and its just a fucking stupid drone. I've heard more sonorous tumble driers.

The noise of really worn chain and sprockets when rolling the bike backwards out of the garage.
