Great Smoke Stories!

[rowilson]

how is it calling the kettle black? did I miss something? If anything, my loud annoying exhaust has a function, lots of extra fuel and boost needs to go some place quick.



I would like to take this moment tho to make the correlation between Ricers and Harleys.



Slow, loud, annoying, to much bling useless adds for their own good and they have more excuses then you can shake a stick at.



*runs and hides for a long long time *



:-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf





Tho, they do take pride in the bike/ricer, so I give ya that

Same thing with a Harley more power needs pipes to breath and noise to warn cages that you're there. Same as our trucks. It's like the saying goes if I have to explain you wouldn't understand anyway. You have to own a Harley to appreciate them and enjoy life riding them. Ricers have no long lasting style or class where the Harley's invented it. Since 1903. Like I said they're just like us just enjoying their rides.

yeah yeah yeah yeah. I understand, just that most go overboard. your not gaining THAT much other then noise. But if done right the noise is good.



My last place I lived, there were harleys going at odd hours, I was about to start stringing rope across the road between signs to get a decent nights sleep. When you lose sleep over someone else hobby being irresponsible, you set judgments.



I think you are calling the kettle black here with the ricers with no class. Sure, ricers haven't been around as long, but they have a style (granted when it's more then a retard-o wingo and a fart can and 8 color paint job)



Yeah, there are always bad apples in every bunch. But I just see responsibility with riders of harleys then ricer bikes lately.

hmmm, whose going overboard?!!? :-laf



but in all seriousness, i would not string a rope or anything if i was you... extremely dangerous, i mean extreamly! most of my whole family rides motorcycles, mom and sister included. when my dad was younger he hit a strung up line, good thing for him it snapped... . a close family friend was jetskiing at the beach, went past a peir, and a guy was fishing and cast his line WAY out, caught her round the neck, slit her ear to ear, its a wonder it didnt kill her.



granted others may really agravate you, but put youself in their shoes if your going to act out against them... .

Internet sarcasm is difficult to detect. but I said that with sarcasm. Naturally after 20 reports to the police, there's nothing you can do, and nothing that's going to get done about it right? Do live with it or move are your 2 choices (one nice thing about renting... ) .

You'd be upset if I drove my truck up and down the road and put in a large stereo system and blasted it at 3am. Same idea. Maybe some well targeted rocks would get the car/truck a message for being annoying? The problem isn't me putting my self in their shoes. It's the others not thinking "hmm maybe I"m disturbing folks who are sleeping" that are the problem. I fact I do put my self in their shoes when' I'm driving, it's why I won't go though the neighborhood at 3000rpm's.

And the fact that innocent folks that are respectful may get hurt is why I wouldn't do it. But if I could make it "Appear" for the retards, I prolly would.

Has anyone ever got stopped by a local pd cuz someone got really mad about the long dark stinkin cloud they had to drive thru??
It just happened to me. Cop thought it was kinda funny. Old lady was MAD. I had smoked her cuz she cut me off at a lite then went very slow. So I passed her and let 'er have the full benefit. Cruisin thru town about 20 minit later and cop stopped me and says they got a complaint. I told him what happened and he said he'd check into it. He called me later and said the lady was VERY MAD. She was SURE there was charges to press for this kind of action. So now we both have a verbal warning on our record. Me for erratic driving and her for chewin the cop out. I sat here and laughed!

They can't do anything to you for

hear-say. They have to see you do something for them to site you for it.

Exactly! I can just make a call and say Person XYZ smoked me! doesn't mean they actually did.

Although Tire and soot residue up the rear fender is a dead give away.....

That's basically what the guy told me. And the most he can do is give me a thing telling me to get my emissions system checked within 10 days. I'm really curious how they inspect a custom ve injector pump and an hx30 over a pro52. He said he saw a little trace of smoke at idle but it wasn't anything to worry about. He also said he knows that their cars smoke when they are hammer down. (crown vic/4. 6) Guess he didn't realise I had a diesel?!?

Some folks just don't know.



I read a story about some TSA idiots thinking the new MacBook Air was a bomb cuz it didn't have the typical ports, cd and spinning hard drive and was extremely un-typically thin for a laptop.



The guy missed his flight.

Just got back from vacation. Had to deal with TSA 4 times on the round trip. How is it that the dumbest people ever all seem to get the same job???

My dad did some work for the TSA. Once they got the position up and running, the fired him for some cheaper most likely extremely un-qualified person. My Dad had over 30 years in his field and well, that comes with a high pricetag...



But as far as TSA agents, you don't need much to become one. Pay is 35K/year and even at part time you can get benefits. the problem is that it's highly repetitive and a high turn over position because of that. Kinda like McDonalds.



If I had to do the same thing over and over and over and..... over and over at my job i'd start to slack real quick and then quit or get fired for messing up a few one too many times like any other human



Don't blame them to much. But yeah, it's your job, so do it right is also my mentality. Big catch 22

 

[JasonCzerak]

So no one's smoked anyone in a while?



I have one, kinda. You know you got someone behind you that's been smoked before when the tiniest of tiny poofs, say, from a blip of the throttle to help smooth out a down shift, is enough for the person behind you to drop back 20 car lengths!

 

[FlatBed Cummins]

I was driving down some back roads to go fishing, when i saw my ex's car on in a pull out along the river. i slowed down and saw a guy in the back seat, the windows are tinted, but down halfway. So i turn around up the road to smoke her out, and see her topless trying to role up the window. Well lets just say the cloud i left gave them some privicy. :-laf

 

[tolmsted]

I don't try to smoke on purpose but it will some times do it even with my 5 speed w/~354 rear end, edge easy set on #3.

I have seen a few who have change lanes quickly also.

I have learned how to be easy on the go peddle and be nice but sometimes I have to loose all common sense and give a dose to the jerk who just did something stupid

This was a few weeks ago now but I had just left a trailer repair shop after having some supporting braces welded onto the gate of the trailer. It's only a 12 footer but I had it loaded up with mowers at the time. I'm sitting in the left turn lane at a light and I hear a rumble and then my mirrors start to shake. In the lane next to me pulls up an Acura RSX or whatever those little things are with some punk driving it. I scoot up a little so my tip is right near his rolled down window. I can see the lights for the cross traffic going yellow then red so I stand on both pedals and let the black and white smoke roll all over him. The look on peoples faces around me was priceless as they were trying to figure out what the heck was going on!
