Nothing Radicalizes You Against Dirty Diesels Like Riding a Motorcycle

As if motor cyclists are known for their decency.

As soon as the first nice weather comes on in spring they start driving around in their loud death machines swerving through traffic.

> Loud

Those are Harley enthusiasts, not motorcyclists. (Or, increasingly, just "work trucks")

Signed, someone who commutes on a rather quiet motorcycle.

Sportbikes can be pretty loud when the rider feels like it.

Death machines, but generally fatal to their riders, rather than others?
cosmicgadget•14m ago
Are you just taking the opportunity to complain about motorcycles or are you responding to the article by saying coal rolling is okay because motorcyclists are also bad (in your mind)?
chasing0entropy•2h ago
I cant imagine being so self entitled to complain globally about "dirty diesel" and simultaneously humbugging the lack of right to perform dangerous lane splitting maneuvers to zoom by the "dirty diesel" driving workers delivering the food the pretentious author eats, mowing the grass at his obviously perfect domicile, and fixing/towing/moving the broken garbage motorcycles that are left after like minded bikers are smeared on the ground as a result of their death trap loving lifestyle.

40 years ago every car on the road was dirty and now, at least in CA, they are much much cleaner because people complained. The fact that diesels trucks have been exempted from these same regulations is an embarrassment akin to Lee Iacocca telling Nixon that seat belt requirements would put Chrysler out of business.

meta: i really did not expect there to be such a negative opinion of people who ride motorcycles on hackernews but this is the second post in a few days where people feel a need to (and are for some reason, very comfortable) very intensely malign all motorcyclists for the perceived slights of some motorcyclists.

it's pretty gross behavior/rhetoric. i don't ride motorcycles but i know enough not to apply the specific in regards to the general.

I have no strong feelings on motorbikes one way or the other, but also try to avoid downvoting posts when I disagree with them. It's a harder urge to suppress when I feel strongly about the subject though, and so it's possible that this is just a minority of people who are disproportionately represented because the rest of us don't care enough to make generic pro-motorbike posts in response.

Neck gaiters can help, also move back to a motorcycle friendly state. Ryvid Anthem rider.

I will never understand how California is the state that permits lanesplitting while none of the others do. I couldn't handle being stuck in traffic behind a coal roller.
