  3. Are they kidding? There's no such thing, right? That's like, "Please scream quietly".

  4. ha, like that is going to happen...i imagine they rev it all the more when they see it...smiles.

  5. Haha. I'm sure there is a "quiet" switch on those things. Wait. There is. Turn the key to the "off" position.

  6. 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.

  7. Is there any silent mode on the Harley.

    ReplyDelete
  8. i don't blame 'em for making the mufflers as loud as can be so they can avoid being squashed by cars... :)

  9. Hah, that's got to be the most useless sign ever! But hey, at least it's funny. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  10. That's too funny. I guess I should avoid that route...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Hahahahaha! How is this even possible?????

    ReplyDelete
  12. Haha! Are you wishing for the impossible?

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's nice to ask about it but is it possible???

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love the roar of a Harley. (Just not when I'm sleeping.)

  16. Or posted near the home of a curmudgeon.

    ReplyDelete
  17. That'd be my guess too. Not that I'd do anything like that. Oh no, not me.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Reforming Geek says it's the OFF position for the key. :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Maybe not on a Harley but I'm sure it's possible on ::ahem:: lesser ::ahem:: bikes.

    ReplyDelete
  20. You may be onto something with that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It 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.

    ReplyDelete
  22. With your shiny new car, it's a route I'd suggest you avoid even without the sign. One of my favorite back roads.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Who said rules have to be possible? Besides, there's always coasting, right?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Someone 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.

    ReplyDelete
  25. There's always neutral and a slow coast to get past that house. Personally, I'd gun it to pass by more quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  26. That sign is just for ONE HOUSE? I thought it was for the neighborhood. So it's not like, the law or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. If the biker takes the bike out gear and coasts, I'm fairly certain it would be very quiet.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Needed to save this one for the B.S. prompt... Where is that? I'm calling my bike brothers.

    ReplyDelete
  31. really, how is that even possible. hahahah! maybe shutting off the motor and walking it down the road.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love that sign! It's just like "stay off the grass" and omg how good does grass feel under bare feet ... right???

    ReplyDelete
  33. Nah, I've got plenty of other stuff for bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Exactly! Or put the bike in neutral and coast around the bend.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  36. How the HECK do you ride QUIETLY!!!!!!! LOLOL!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ride free or die!

    Which is a dumb expression, really, because Harleys are really expensive. People are idiots, I swear.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'll be sure to leave my harley behind if I happen by...


    ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Put the bike in neutral and coast? :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh please don't. The visual of you on a Harley is so appealing I'd love to see it person.

    ReplyDelete
  42. wont be a problem for me

    ReplyDelete
  43. I wasn't going to use that turn of phrase but that's what my dad would have called 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  44. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Just about the best there is when it comes to this shit.

    ReplyDelete
  46. And I let you do all of the political speak FOR ME on Facebook too! Your "rants" are THE BEST!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Now there's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.
