I dont' get why some boys put that super freaky noisy muffler on their bikes. I really don't. What are they, tone deaf? I have a friend whose bike has that kind of muffler, and everytime he starts the engine it roars like horrible screaming contest. Not to mention the smoke that comes out of it. So, the muffler is basically a chimney with that loud lousy sound. He says it's cool. I say it's stupid. But then again, everyone has their own opinions....and ears.
Every night, on the street - in front of my boarding house - once or twice... or more.. in every hour I hear that sound from the dark world. I wonder if they are in competition coz they speed up. You see that, horrible sound in high speed? Makes me think what a creepy dough if they crash. It's public highway, man, not racing circuit.
Talking about motorbikers in Jakarta is talking about daredevils. Often when we raise our hands - crossing street - they're speeding up instead of slowing down. Like NO means YES. And they're making the sidewalk becomes red carpet where they can ride along in style. Like PEDESTRIAN means third class citizen. Hello......??? Maybe we should build fence along the sidewalk... or hedgerow. Hey, dude, this is my territory and that's yours. Keep it that way!
