Can you hear me now?

I have a neighbor who has a motorcyle. He's taken off the muffler or whatever it is they do to make it LOUD. EARTHQUAKE LOUD. I just hate it when he's up and down the street in our otherwise quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

Randal Dean of Dallas says there's a reason for the motorcyclist to make his machine loud. It's so other drivers will hear him coming. I have a better suggestion. Paint the darn thing in bright neon colors, then other drivers will see you coming and you won't damage the hearing of every person within a five-mile radius.
