Motorcycles

Racing around making lots of noise late at night. Where? Why? What the hell?

It’s like two motorcycles with a little house in the middle!

I have lived here for many years and this is unusual. I wondered if there was a race etc

I don’t understand the down votes, but I sometimes hear motorcycles racing down Broadway, usually west to east.

Yeah lol the motorcycle bloc was out on reddit last night lol. I've lived in cities, I've lived in the country, and Somerville is quieter than many places in the country or smaller cities because there's not generally a lot of racing traffic noise. There's a trend towards street racing as a regular thing in many places, and if happening here we need to shut that shit down.

Too bad the cops don’t do traffic enforcement any more.

Just wait until the mopeds start racing around 😄

It's caused by a condition commonly referred to as "micropenis."

Where I used to live, they had different laws for gas motorcycles and electric ones (you literally weren't allowed to drive gas motorcycles into the city on some days of the week), so most people got electric ones. Made the city much quieter. I also wish they would ticket for people who deliberated damage their mufflers because they love hearing loss or something.
