Title: set off my first car alarm. Post by: tristantumble on May 17, 2009, 06:54:49 AM there was a row of cars parked on the right, and i had to split between the parked cars and traffic. I guess i was too close to the parked cars as i rode past fairly slow -and i set off their alarm. After the initial scare of the sudden noise, it made me feel good that my bike could do that.

yeah, I always crack a lil grin whenever I do that Title: Re: set off my first car alarm. Post by: Mash on May 17, 2009, 08:43:36 AM there's a section of residential road near me that's narrow, with cars parked on both sides. it's about 2 blocks long at the bottom of a hill with a stop sign at the end. if I roar down the hill, then engine brake to the stop sign, i can set off dozens of alarms......

I do like riding through tunnels though. Title: Re: set off my first car alarm. Post by: the_Journeyman on May 18, 2009, 06:35:14 AM I speed up just before entering a tunnel. Then I close the throttle once completely inside the tunnel. One of these day's you'll read about a guy on a yellow Monster being rescued from a collapsed tunnel.

i always get a kick out of setting off alarms - don't know why, it's really just an annoyance for everyone else but i let out a good chortle everytime Title: Re: set off my first car alarm. Post by: the_Journeyman on May 18, 2009, 07:27:20 AM The best feeding ground for car alarms is our local high school parking lot. All the kids that just got some fancy alarm system installed and have it the sensitivity cranked way up to showcase it. I ride through to pick up a bus and I always get a few ~

Post by: ScottRNelson on May 19, 2009, 07:59:30 AM When I hear an alarm go off in a residential area, I often go back and stop next to the offending car and rev my engine a few times to see how many times it will go off. If anybody looks out from the house, especially if they complain, they get a rude gesture as I wheelie out of there. [evil]

[laugh] [laugh] Title: Re: set off my first car alarm. Post by: ScottRNelson on May 20, 2009, 03:32:14 PM I currently have some rather loud Ferracci pipes on my 888. They're too loud and I'm going to take them off and go back to stock for a while. But I'm thinking that maybe I should ride around and set off a few car alarms with them before I actually make the switch. I'm wondering if the parking lot of the local Mall might be the best place to do that. [evil] [evil]
