the guy is a joke. He is simply looking for a reaction... he wants the attention.. the older guy politely asked him it it wasn't a little loud and he magnified that into a who generational war thing... he wants it to be some kind of him against the world thing cause he is so cool and all... being the only man to ever wear his hair long and able to appreciate..... rush?

what a twit.

yeah right.. it was your long hair and "muscian" status and that really nice car that only someone as hip as you could have.

again... what a self centered little twit.

lazs

You forgot to mention that he probably has a sparkomatic stereo and stock speakers.

Well, if i'm idling at a street light with my harley, and someone who lives on the corner tells me "kinda loud isn't it? turm it off til the light turns green" what should I do? Am I forcing him to listen to my motorcycle?

That is, if you consider someone saying "kinda loud isn't it?" to be rude. Well, do you?

That depends on how you say it

If you're idling that's one thing, if you're sitting there revving the motor(playing loudly) then you are rude.

Look, you are just a guy that loves to disagree, you are one of a few on this board who gets some kind of satisfaction just by being argumentative,regardless of the topic. If you can't see that BS's actions were selfish and inconsiderate, that just says to me that you are probably the same way and no amount of civil discourse is going to help you. That said, I'm done with you. Go on about your life being like BS if it pleases you. I only hope your comeuppance isn't too painful for you, beyond perhaps a few stitches and a trip to the ER.

I have yet to see a Harley owner NOT rev at a red light. I ignore em, and they stop. I even had one tool circle my Explorer in Myrtle Beach three times, like I was supposed to be impressed. Funnier yet, I'm laughing at him, and after third circle, he ended up getting a $1000 fine for loud pipes. Why was I laughing? The moron didn't see the lights flashing 50 feet away as he was finishing up writing up a handicapped parking violation. The Cop and I chatted for a bit while my wife was buying a bracelet at Barefoot Landing.

So a mullet is considered "long hair'?

Someone dial 1-800-CHILLPILL.

Lazs

You and a few choice others seem to take alot of things personal - Still the name calling and prodding (after you twist the initial post into what you want to hear). Very childish. And you say I am trying to get a reaction here? I could care less.

But your actions seems to show your lack of character well beyond what you may perceive mine to be.

You may well hit 100,000 posts before you actually offer something interesting to this board. I hope you grow up. And understand what you read before you incite and FLAME others. CHILDISH.

Huh? Wait a minute, you quote me, disagree with me, then ask me a question, and then call me argumentative? I didn't say a word to you, til you baited me.

If you can't see that BS's actions were selfish and inconsiderate

Again, the old guy came on with an attitude, and he gave one back. What you can't see is the people here are giving BS exactly what BS gave the old guy, an attitude for an attitude.

I only hope your comeuppance isn't too painful for you, beyond perhaps a few stitches and a trip to the ER.

Likewise

BS didn't "give one back" He started it with the loud muisic.
Until you see that the loud music was the first act, the inciting force, of the "rude exchange" you will not understand what ocurred.
Think about this, would the old guy have been likely say anything to BS if the music wasn't loud? Be intellectually honest. It's ok to consider others perspectives here. If you admit you are mistaken I am not going to stand up and say "Neener neener". Instead of trying to "win" consider what actually took place.

Again... none of the exchange would have taken place if BS hadn't been playing his music loudly. I'm guessing most of us like loud music... my fun car has 1600 Watts in its' two amps so it's not like I don't love the thump, I just don't feel it's appropriate to force my music on others.

I do not believe you are so obtuse that you do not recognize that the loud music set the event in motion. I believe you are smarter than that. I honestly believe that, at this point, you are arguing for argument's sake.. just to win. Remember, BS initially said not "ear bleeding loud". This was an admission that the music was at least somewhat loud to him. Think of what the old guy, considering he prefers a different kind of music, must have thought.

YOU assume it was too loud - what gives you the right to say? Cause he did? Too many people take it upon themselves to insert whatever THEY like in order to support thier stance. My original post has been mutated to fit the needs of the chosen few set on flaming for the sole purpose to flame.

What makes you believe that this man doesn't stir the pot wherever he goes, a bitter old man? By old - I'd say he was between 60-65. Who knows.

My hearing is perfect and he must've had some great hearing too -

If he were stone deaf, we wouldn't be arguing eh?

And by the way, it's a Bose stereo in my 2003 Pathfinder. You know what you can do with your Sparkomatics. And Lazs, my other car is a '05 TSX, and I'm in the process of renovating a '69 XKE - since you just HAD to know.

I never asked for bias in my favor ONCE, so you can let that go too.

Assumptions is what they have. "Assumptions are the mother of all f**k ups."

Yes.

Why should we believe you? Because you are posting here?

For every old guy who goes around complaining about music being too loud when it’s really not, there are 20 jerks driving around with their music playing too loud; loud enough to annoy most folks.

When people are accused of doing something wrong they naturally underplay what they did and then belittle their accusers. Any parent would recognize this.

It’s certainly possible that your version of the story is realistic, but the smart money is on the old man. Even if the music wasn’t loud, you were still rude, sarcastic and disrespectful and should have turned it down.
