Seen a lot of that clamping hands over ears when a bike approaches, not only kids, but adults doing it to their kids and giving you the "evil" eye.

Perhaps I can understand it if your bike was very loud, but when people do it when I am on the Himalayan, or Speedmaster it makes me wonder, both are very quiet.

Reminds me of the time, perhaps 30 years ago when I passed a bloke and kid on my Sportster, when I parked up the bloke started kicking off about my "noisey" bike.

Since it had the stock mufflers on it I suggested that if he has an issue with noise he talks to Mr Willy G Davidson.

Sadly there are lot of people on bikes, and with loud cars that like to prove how big their crank is........or wished it was.
