Nothing so drastic is necessary.
Sneakiness and subterfuge will win every time:
"Mom, Dad, I've come to the realization that the only way I can really focus and concentrate on my studying is if it's either very quiet, or if I have death metal cranked up to 11 on the stereo. I've been trying the 'quiet' route, but it really doesn't seem to get quiet enough around here. I'm thinking that the death metal thing may be the way to go, though, because there's this hot goth chick in my class who tells everyone to call her 'Skank' and she's really into guys who crank death metal. She has a chrome stud through her tongue and she says that she wants to show me all the cool things she can do with it. If I had a Harley, I know she'd be mine..."

I've seen a few car races, but never bike races.
Y'know how the front of the car flies up when they start? Do bikes have that problem?
I can't figure how the car racers know where to drive, I'm always sure to be way over to the side!
Sometimes the front doesn't come down for a good bit heh I've heard of a car flipping that way too. You racing people are nuts.
Back when I just got my first car, my best friend actually wrecked my car trying to speed along a backroad. Heh, I was in the passenger side, mad as fire - $3000 of damage!

Buy a different bike.aristide1 wrote:Which brings up another subject, how do you silence a Harley?
Harleys of old had a timing defect that gave them their distinctive sound. Nowadays they put that defect in intentionally to make sure that the sound is the same. If they balanced the engine "correctly" the sound would be much abated, but then it "wouldn't be a Harley."
I've always been amused by the guys who say "chicks dig a guy with a Harley." OK, buddy, you have her straddle a 1200cc bike, lean forward, then start up that vibrator. And you think the GUY has anything to do with it?
I'd use a small quantity of GHB, you know the date rape drug, then once out, clean the top and bottom areas of the lips with alcohol, the same kind you use on a heatsink, then using a needle and some fishing line, you can use pink or other hot colours if you prefer, and so them mouths up leaving a wee lil hole for a stray so they can suck down malts and protein drinks.
Hope that helps

Well I have yet to have a single one tell me why I can't watch TV in my own home without being disrupted. Tell them to be quiet, and they scream you are trampling on their rights, but it's totally OK for them to trample on my rights.damn ralf, not a fan of the harleys?
In general they may be nice people but when it comes to quiet respect the typical harley rider is nothing but a hemorrhoid
Have y'all noticed how loud cars driving by are? and neighbors too! Zalman headphones, how well do they work?
I've been in the process of moving into a friend's apartment, but the neighborhood is too dang loud. It looks like I'm going to be studying in the library again this year, which is fine. The big thing is I'll have to start buying my food again . Heh, I've been living in my parents' house for the last few months .

Try inserting an 80mm Nexus fan into their mouths.mpteach wrote:Im an engineerng student, i know how to silence my pc. When its quiet all i will hear is my parents and i dont know how to silence them. Any suggestions?
Note. You may need to use a 92mm on your mother as since women speak a lot more than men her jaw may be more flexible.

One thing that works (without question) on people- alternate terminal electronic acceptors.mpteach wrote:Im an engineerng student, i know how to silence my pc. When its quiet all i will hear is my parents and i dont know how to silence them.

Just fill a room with whatever you choose to use, and the all the people in it will get very quiet.
RPG-7. It'll be loud for a couple of seconds, but you'll never hear it again. Make sure the rider is on it when you blow it up to high heavens.aristide1 wrote:Which brings up another subject, how do you silence a Harley?
God damn, I hate Harleys and the vast majority of people who ride them. As if they're not insecure enough, they have to ride the noisiest brand of bikes on the planet and act like utter assholes.
I've passed on your observations to my good friend "Slug." Once the PCP has worn off and he's calmed down enough to be let on the plane, he'll be coming to Vancouver to pay his respects.YugenM wrote: RPG-7.
