Le Mall

I went to the River Park Square today with a friend and her family. Her aunt is in town and getting ready to move up so we were all hyped up. Anyway all the way there my friend is making faces at random people in other cars while we stopped at red lights. Then as we are coming out of the mall, she goes and sits on two cars to see if they had car alarms. It made me laugh and then to make it worse we were backing out and the security people come out...her mom was trying so hard not to laugh in there face or run them over. I know that it was disrespectful, but I was just hoping one would have a loud car alarm that would scare her half to death. Hehe. Anyway, her sister told me that her work is hiring so I need to get an application and fill it out.

That's funny. Good luck on the job front.

When I was in high school, my friends and I would go and collect stuffed animals from the local Salvation Army. We'd then acquire rope and lighter fluid and proceed to send, burnin', flamin' stuffed animals off of bridges at oncoming vehicles. The best one we had was a Kermit the Frog muppet because his arms and legs flailed behind him as he swung through the air. The semi that he met his fate upon made an awful lot of burnt-rubber smoke coming to a hault.

Oh yeah, don't do this. Seriously. You can get in trouble.

ROFL....LOL. I would never dream of doing that. But I have caused quite a bit of trouble, mostly when I was younger. My brothers and I would terrorize the neighborhood. We used to play hide and seek, but we would have all the neighborhood kids (about 20) and then we would us the whole block and do it at like 10pm-1am. When we had an apple tree we used to sit on top of the house or by the side and throw apples at random people walking by. I have many interesting stories. I don't do that anymore.

My mall story happened last summer when the old lady and I finished shopping at the North Town mall. I fired up the Harley and noticed it set off about a dozen car alarms in the covered mall parking lot.

We were on the top floor, so as I eased out the clutch, I gave it another twist or two on the throttle and set off even more alarms.

As I started to coast down the exit lanes, some teen age, security dude on a bicycle started chasing me... I let him catch up to us, and when he got right along side, he would scream "Don't do that!" . The effect of his suggestion/command was for me to push open the throttle, bring the front wheel up and set off the car alarms again and also put me a few hundred feet in front of him.

I would slow down again as I saw him peddlin' as fast as he could to catch up to us. The second he was along side and made his "voice of authority" announcement, I simply pulled in the clutch, gave it about 3K RPM and did it again.

This exact scenario was good for a full 3 floors and God knows how many car alarms were going off.

I exited the parking lot onto the main street with that idiot still chasing me.

Guess the moral of the story is "Never bring a 10 speed bicycle to a motorcycle race."

Oh that's great Pigman.

I get the same reaction, sans security on bike, with the Pantera. All I really have to do it start it up and slowly rumble out of the parking garage. I can a lot of alarms.

It's enough to put a smile on your face.

Oh, and that reminds me of a night a couple weeks back, here at work. I drove the Jeep, which has dualed off pipes. I got in, startd it up and the car alarm behind me started going off. Since it was cold outsie (and inside the Jeep), I sat there for a few minutes letting it warm up and defrost the windshield. Every 30 seconds the alarm would stop, so I'd give it some gas, rumble it up a bit and set off the alarm again. I had to leave when I started giggling over it.

Similar experience. For a long stretch last summer when I came in on the bike there was a truck at the entrance, parked in the same spot every day, I'd roll by it the morning and the alarm would go off. Always made me smile.
I like loud pipes.

And yes, my big block Roadrunner with the headers, dual dyna flow "mufflers" seem to have the same evil affect!

2 Ltrs? Ain't that the same size as a hefty Pepsi Bottle?

Post by **bio** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 5:07 pm

That's 2 hefty pepsi bottles, damn it!

2,000cc's, or in Harley terms, 122 cubic inches of power!

Fear me, and my pavement eating monster!

he he he ... the fun thing we used to do with the bikes involved the kill switch ..... if you rev the engine then hit the kill switch as you move and then turn the kill switch back to run then the exhaust backfores creating a rather satisfying bang .... combine that with a ' my fingers are a gun ' gesture at an old dear walking along the side fo the road and you have insant heart failure!

ROFL! LOL. My dad used to have this thing called the death cycle...it was so small. The little sucker had so force behind it though. But the only way to stop it was by pushing a kill switch...hehe...or the chain fell off.
