making motorcycle sounds
 
Yesterday I noticed that when I make motorcycle sounds my bike goes at least 2-3mph faster. Has anyone else noticed this? If not, give it a try. VVVVVRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!

....turns out that sh*t only works if you make tie-fighter sounds.

I dont understand... I just tried this and it didnt work! Does this need to be done on a fixed gear? I had to ride my geared bike this morning, but it has a cyclocomputer so I wouldve noticed if my speed increased.

if you combine it with a clothespin and a playing card, you'll be faster than lance armstrong.

Eat foods high in fiber and sulfer and eat them fast...you will be making motorcycle sounds like no tommarrow, although some people seem to have a hard time making motorcycle sounds and riding a fixie.

But if I make the motorcycle sound, then that would defeat the purpose of ram air injection. It takes mad skills to fart the harley davidson sound.

Edit: Clothespins and cards are so outdated. You need the Turbospoke http://www.turbospoke.com/

hahaha when we're mountain biking and come across those idiots on two strokes we all give a resounding "BWAAAAAAAA BWAAA" in retort. it sounds so great when we have a big group all doing it! those babies need to get off their fat arses and get bikes. those motorcycles kill the trails.

Me too...in fact, I'm amazed at how intensely I feel the need to put one of these on a bike. A search of Kenner's site turns up nothing, though...but I did learn that they also make the Sit'n'Spin. Any leads?

i think i saw the sit'n'spin right next to the 'moustache ride' in the toy aisle.

If you were making a Hardley Goanywhere sound, try a Kawasaki sound and you'll go much faster. You will also be able to take bends at speeds over 5 mph :)

thankfully the "I hate everybody" thread taught me not to be drinking and read the forum.

ATV's too, except they do the double damage of widening the fun singletrack.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <click> BWAAAAAA!

I wish they had made one of those back in the day too! :(
unfortunately, it only exists in my mind so I guess that's good enough (for the moment)

Damn photoshop b@stards...now I'll have to spend the rest of the day designing my own. All I've got so far is an incredibly loud and obnoxious horn.

A friend of mine is actually planning to build a pulsejet powered bicycle...

Work on your technique and you'll get it eventually...
Sheldon brown has a page on proper technique somewhere but I lost the link. Sorry.

The key is to lower the tone of the Mwaaaaaa each time you shift.
