I admitted to owning, riding and enjoying a Harley too - you think ego is something important to me?

You're probably right though, I think it was artistic license - when the scooter rider shifts sideways to kid of square ip to you I reckon they're not that stable. The blast of noise probably triggered the startle reflex rather than actually exerting pressure. Was an ill tempered b
d of a bike though (miss it 
)
The kid probably filled his Carbrini 'trackies'. They can be a bit...loud,fitted with straight through jobbers can't they? d of a bike though (miss it )

These little fks have nothing better to do than ride around on their noisy, amplified hair-dryers. At the minute, they've parked up and are revving them for some strange reason that only another cretin can understand. Oh wait, they're racing now. fking die, please. Please brake too hard at the bottom of the hill, and go head over heels to land on your scummy little toothless face. These little scrotes have been at it all fking day and I cannot bear this much longer. Tried putting some music on, still hear the scooters.
Suggestions of what to do? Apart from setting a cheesewire trap across the road?

They are a bunch of plebs!Whilst on my way home from work, I had one lad (on an Aprilia RS50) overtake me on my 7R in a residential 30 zone after slip-streaming me off a roundabout, only to get past (painfully) down the straight & slammed on the anchors right infront of me to make his turn into the close he lived in.
Don't worry though, with these sort of antics they won't last long

3 of my neighbours have sold 2nd cars and bought these little wasp simulators and while the sound of them buzzing away from the house early in the morning is annoying it has nothing on the prat with a "proper" bike who insists on letting us hear his farty exhaust at high revs close to 5am most mornings.

Why, that has made my day that has.
OP I agree, they do my head in too! 
The most annoying thing is I can hear them coming for ages before they go past.
I was trying to put my daughter back to bed once around 3 in the morning when I could hear one coming. I looked out the window and saw that because he was so sodding slow, he still had 200 yards to go before he reached my house and woke her up again!

Which brings me back to my long lamented bike - a 1450 Harley Fat Boy with full Screaming Eagle straight through side exit pipes so the blast of hot air etc. would kick out directly to the right. Whenever a scooter used to pull up at lights and rev hard whilst looking across at me (I guess to start a traffic light grand prix), a healthy blip of the throttle could actually push them sideways (and always had them slinking away with their tail between their legs).

Still, must have been gutting to get beaten off the lights, eh?/and breathe
Sorry.
There's two main problems, one is that kids seem to like making them as loud as they can.
Touring cars are loud, touring cars are fast, therefore loud = fast.
The other is that they are always at maximum revs, which gives that 5 mins of listening to a monotone bee-in-a-biscuit-barrel noise as they are slowly coming towards you.

It wouldn't be so bad if they sounded nice. There's some Harley owner who visits his parents next door every so often. It's stupidly loud but I love it. Compare that to a scooter with an idiot exhaust: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. WTF?

Harley: converting petrol into noise without the unwanted side effect o horsepower for 100 years...
It does seem to be a 2 wheeler thing,
Mopeds, sound st and noisy, Harleys sound a bit better but not as fantastic as the owners seem to think, plus not everyone thinks you look cool and assume you are an accountant, most Sports bikes are pretty noisy but the owners generally buy some kind of Megaphone so it can be heard several counties away, I am sure there are bikes that don't rattle your windows available.

Chinny reckon. I can't believe you've just admitted being baited by a scooter.;) P.S. My money would be on the scooter winning a traffic light GP against a Harley!! - Seriously

Yes but then you would be a cyclist, they are worse, in their skin tight lycra thinking that everyone wants to endure the view of their arse because they have decided to ride in the middle of the road. Mopeds, sound s
