Love it! I could have used that years ago when my neighbor used to coast his Harley from inside his garage to the street in front of my house and then start it up. He didn't want to wake up HIS family.
Not that I could tell. It's on a well-traveled back road on a utility pole just beyond a driveway. The house isn't far from a 4-way stop. My guess is it gets pretty noisy & they're just doing their best to raise awareness.
I love 'em except on the highway. Saturday morning I was at the end of our street and a parade of Harleys went driving by. 'Course I had my camera so I shot 'em. Bad angle but I got some decent shots that I could crop. They were riding for Breast Cancer Awareness and fundraising. Lots of the bikes were wearing bras & almost everyone wore a bit of pink/red.
That's a great analogy. I've never seen a biker when I've traveled near this house. I wonder if it creates that same sense of wanting to push the limits.
It's a fine expression and one I've seen bikers use to justify not wearing a helmet. Yes, I live in a state where the idjits have very loud voices & say the most inane things in pursuit of so-called freedom and rampant stupidity.
Pish-tosh. Not a worry. I'm so politically correct I already more-than-make-up for the people in my life who aren't. I'll add you to the list. It's a burden, I tell ya, but one I'm happy to carry.
As if! Great find, Cheryl.
ReplyDeletevroooom, vrooom!
ReplyDeleteWhat's that? I can't hear you, Cheryl!
ReplyDeletethat seems like an oxymoron!
ReplyDeleteAre they kidding? There's no such thing, right? That's like, "Please scream quietly".
ReplyDeleteha, like that is going to happen...i imagine they rev it all the more when they see it...smiles.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I'm sure there is a "quiet" switch on those things. Wait. There is. Turn the key to the "off" position.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I could have used that years ago when my neighbor used to coast his Harley from inside his garage to the street in front of my house and then start it up. He didn't want to wake up HIS family.
ReplyDeleteIs there any silent mode on the Harley.
ReplyDeletethat is SUCH an awesome photo!
ReplyDeletei don't blame 'em for making the mufflers as loud as can be so they can avoid being squashed by cars... :)
ReplyDeleteHah, that's got to be the most useless sign ever! But hey, at least it's funny. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny. I guess I should avoid that route...
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! How is this even possible?????
ReplyDeleteHaha! Are you wishing for the impossible?
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to ask about it but is it possible???
ReplyDeleteI love the roar of a Harley. (Just not when I'm sleeping.)
ReplyDeleteGetcher motor runnin', head out on the highway
ReplyDeleteLooking for adventure In whatever comes our way
I like smoke and lightnin', heavy metal thunder
Racin' in the wind and the feelin' that I'm under
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Crank it UP PK!
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeleteOr posted near the home of a curmudgeon.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be my guess too. Not that I'd do anything like that. Oh no, not me.
ReplyDeleteWord.
ReplyDeleteBOOYAH!
Reforming Geek says it's the OFF position for the key. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe not on a Harley but I'm sure it's possible on ::ahem:: lesser ::ahem:: bikes.
ReplyDeleteYou may be onto something with that.
ReplyDeleteIt may be impossible to do but if it brings a smile or laugh to passers by, it could be one of the most useful signs in town.
ReplyDeleteWith your shiny new car, it's a route I'd suggest you avoid even without the sign. One of my favorite back roads.
ReplyDeleteWho said rules have to be possible? Besides, there's always coasting, right?
ReplyDeleteSomeone is. It's not near my house. Hmmm. Maybe I need to get one. We have tons of bikers on our road. Crazy loud in the summer months.
ReplyDeleteThere's always neutral and a slow coast to get past that house. Personally, I'd gun it to pass by more quickly.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for you. GAH!
ReplyDeleteThat sign is just for ONE HOUSE? I thought it was for the neighborhood. So it's not like, the law or anything.
ReplyDeleteNot that I could tell. It's on a well-traveled back road on a utility pole just beyond a driveway. The house isn't far from a 4-way stop. My guess is it gets pretty noisy & they're just doing their best to raise awareness.
ReplyDeleteI love 'em except on the highway. Saturday morning I was at the end of our street and a parade of Harleys went driving by. 'Course I had my camera so I shot 'em. Bad angle but I got some decent shots that I could crop. They were riding for Breast Cancer Awareness and fundraising. Lots of the bikes were wearing bras & almost everyone wore a bit of pink/red.
ReplyDeleteIf the biker takes the bike out gear and coasts, I'm fairly certain it would be very quiet.
ReplyDeleteNeeded to save this one for the B.S. prompt... Where is that? I'm calling my bike brothers.
ReplyDeletereally, how is that even possible. hahahah! maybe shutting off the motor and walking it down the road.
ReplyDeleteLove that sign! It's just like "stay off the grass" and omg how good does grass feel under bare feet ... right???
ReplyDeleteNah, I've got plenty of other stuff for bullshit.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Or put the bike in neutral and coast around the bend.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great analogy. I've never seen a biker when I've traveled near this house. I wonder if it creates that same sense of wanting to push the limits.
ReplyDeleteHow the HECK do you ride QUIETLY!!!!!!! LOLOL!
ReplyDeleteRide free or die!
ReplyDeleteWhich is a dumb expression, really, because Harleys are really expensive. People are idiots, I swear.
I'll be sure to leave my harley behind if I happen by...
ReplyDelete;)
Put the bike in neutral and coast? :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine expression and one I've seen bikers use to justify not wearing a helmet. Yes, I live in a state where the idjits have very loud voices & say the most inane things in pursuit of so-called freedom and rampant stupidity.
ReplyDeleteOh please don't. The visual of you on a Harley is so appealing I'd love to see it person.
ReplyDeletewont be a problem for me
ReplyDeleteRice burners?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to use that turn of phrase but that's what my dad would have called 'em.
ReplyDeleteI am so NOT politically correct.
ReplyDeletePish-tosh. Not a worry. I'm so politically correct I already more-than-make-up for the people in my life who aren't. I'll add you to the list. It's a burden, I tell ya, but one I'm happy to carry.
ReplyDeleteyou're good like that!
ReplyDeleteJust about the best there is when it comes to this shit.
ReplyDeleteAnd I let you do all of the political speak FOR ME on Facebook too! Your "rants" are THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteNow there's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.
ReplyDeleteHilarious :)
