Let's be reasonable here, Larry. The unnecessary noise your bike is making is an irritant, you expect people to suffer in silence because you choose to ride around with a noisy bike? That's not "classist", you need to get that bike fixed or ride by yourself, or expect lots of criticism.

Now I'm going to cruise through the rest of this thread, but don't be surprised if I close it, because as it stands now, this thread is ridiculous and does not meet Bike Forums quality standards. Capiche?
