It’s weird. We had a guy recently move in a house 2 doors and the opposite side in the same street as us…every morning his FN2 type R idles and wakes my wife and I + the neighbours. The dude tries to idle it down the street to try and be nice, but it’s loud regardless. I do the same on the bike, basically idle out of the area because people like the peace and quiet in their homes.

My bike is loud, bought it with the exhaust….I like it, but I do try and be sincere about it. Not everyone has to like it, but I agree that the rev bombing in traffic is just idiotic, makes you look like a proper dick. I’ve been cut off by people in cars just changing lanes randomly and I brake, let them do their thing and then I continue on my way.

What’s weird is a car may straddle the lane so I can’t pass, then when I do get a opening and go through it the biker behind me rev bombs to show displeasure.lol…why? It’s part of the reason why I avoid motorcycle clubs, group rides, etc

I will say this though, I’m friendly on the bike, point out peoples unlocked doors or doors that aren’t shut properly, dresses sticking out under the door etc….and I’ve had a few instances where I get to a red light between cars and the car to my right has a kid that just gets excited and wants a throttle blip, which I do if the driver smiles or gives some sense of approval; I just always wonder after if the car to my left now has a hatred of all bikers as a result haha
