Title: Funny?
Post by: Diomedes on August 01, 2005, 08:38:05 PM
with a nod to Yeti's now well established "Funny/Immature" tradition:

I ride a '92 BMW K75s.  It's fuel injected, but the system isn't the most sophisticated ever.  On decel, if you don't close the throttle all the way, the engine will backfire.  There is some range of control over this...it seems that giving the bike very little, but just a bit makes it worse, wheras regular highway deceleration--say rolling off from 45 to 25 in second--doesn't cause the back fire.  Not a big deal, you just gotta understand what input the thing is looking for.  I can more or less backfire on command.

Every day on my way to and from work, I ride through some projects.  In the morning, not many people are about--it's early.  In the evening, the area is packed with people.  They're double and triple parked along the whole block.  They're in the street, the music is loud, the place is alive.

You should see these motherfargers when the bike barks.

I'm not saying I do this every day, mind you.  But hey...everyone once in a while, it happens.  :-D

Hey, you bring great joy.  Imagine the happiness and relief when they realize it's not gunfire.  Then again, you might want want to break down there after one of those episodes.

Funny. 

One of these days someone's going to pull out their nine and bark back at you.  Then it'll be hilarious.  ;)
