My opportunity to improve "biker image" & maybe a + Victory

Stopped into an old time "drive-thru" eatery yesterday where folks sit on stools and eat under a short canopy surrounding a U-shaped bar. I saw 4 Harleys and a Gold Wing parked together. As the bikers made their exit thru the parking lot, the motors were unnecessarily revving and the sound was truly deafening... that all conversations stopped, including waitresses, and there were plenty of irritated expressions on patron's faces. That group of non-helmeted riders took off at near full throttle and I'm sure people's ears were ringing for seconds afterwards. They weren't some idiot club w/colors or barrel bellied losers that no woman wants ... but just your every-day, avg. looking riders.

Several minutes later I put on my riding gear to leave and idled my Jackpot through the lot and took off as quietly as I could to show the patrons that all big bikes needn't be revved and thundered unnecessarily (and I'm running street sweeper pipes).

Hopefully my actions helped to restore some level of acceptance and tolerance with the folks at that drive-in.
