 Throw in a few pictures and I guess that gives you a license to highjack a tread.
Way to go

BTW being a motorcyclist myself i did some extensive research and the old saying loud pipes save lives is NOT TRUE. The reason it's not true is most motorcycle accidents involving a bike and car happens when a car pulls into the bikes lane T BONEing the bike. Loud pipes don't help in this situation because the pipe sound is coming from BEHIND the bike and a car in front of the bike doesn't really hear the bike until the bike is on the side or in front of the car. Especially if the car has it's windows up and is playing music or has their AC on. Loud OPEN pipes do help with the motor breathing more and gives the bike more power but i think the REAL LOUD bikes are that way because the biker wants the attention. Why do you think they reve up the motors at stop lights? It isn't because the bike is going to stall, it's so people look at them. Im my opinion (and other bikers are going to slam me for this) REAL loud pipes (Not open for breathing but loud enough to hurt) = a biker dying for attention, look at me, i'm cool! nothing more. I said this on a motorcycle forum I'm a member of ... several members agreed and about 10% took offence. Probably the 10% with painfully loud pipes! :-)

I actually started to post a response on the subject of loud pipes here but it seems that every time I give my opinion on a subject such as this I get slammed.  
 So how about we change gears to something a little less controversial, like maybe politics, religion or abortion. Or OH OH how about the price of Pizza. Has anyone else noticed how they keep nudging the price up. It's an abomination I tell you. It's a shame a man can't even afford to have pizza delivered and still have enough money for a cold root beer. Will it never end?!

My local pizza place offers free delivery, says so right there on the box... but they give you a discount if you pick it up yourself, which I find rather amusing. And of course, then you don't have to tip. But it's still pretty darn expensive.
 
Wait, what were we talking about?

[lbpesq]

The last time we had a pizza delivered the guy came on a motorcycle and, boy, was it LOUD!!!!
(Nice try Olie)  LOL
 
Bill, tgo

I guess now I'll get credit for re-hijacking this thread armed with a pecker-olie pizza. Guess I'll take my lashes for that, ....like I've been tied...to the whippin' post....

re-re-re hijack
If loud pips  saves lives, why do trains kill so many people?  
and I ordered 2 med pizza last week and they came to $27.00 !!!  I canceled my order and told them that they had crossed over in to the Red Lobster zone, so the wife and I went to have shrimp

HA!!!!  This is hilarious!!!!!
 
Okay here you go guys......
 
More hijacking.

[olieoliver]

If people wouldn't try to engineer their cars around the barriers at train crossings, and instead conduct themselves in a law abiding manner, they wouldn?t get smacked in the ?caboose?!
I guess now I?ve gone from HI-jacking this thread to ?railroading? it.

We've gone from gigging in Laconia, to Riding MC's, to loud pipes, to over priced pizza, to dangerous train crossings, to to Glays Night and the Pips.  
WOnder how far we can take it?

[tom_z]

I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned beer yet! It should fit right in with the pizza theme.

[olieoliver]

I did mention root-beer.

[alembic76407]

i didn't mention I was drinking a beer on the way to get the Shrimp in my Porsche with loud pipes (I don't have a motorcycle)
