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!!!!!!!

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Edit: Clothespins and cards are so outdated.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 https://www.turbospoke.com/

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

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)
