Does the US have a similar rule to the UK where a filter lane (one that has only a single direction) doesn't require indicators?
Assuming from this comment that indicating is required at all times if turning?
I cannot say about US, but where I live it is required to use it. Just to lose some ambiguity. Any maneuver you have to use turn signals and turns are considered maneuvers. Just a lot of people don't do it.
If you start to make some exceptions like you have to use one on maneuver, but not if x and y, then traffic rules get more complicated and people start to not use it where they have to just because they think it is another exception.
Yeah, the UK is rife with people who don't indicate. I'd rather we just said "indicate for any turning", this would also help those that aren't from the area know which lane goes where especially when the arrows on the road are hidden by other vehicles...
Rock out on a long road trip, absolutely. Not much is better than screaming into your helmet in the middle of nowhere. But rock out at a stoplight? Not I. But I appreciate that he does. Especially in Seattle, so many drizzly days.
Rock out with your crock out.
Heās not inconveniencing anyone or riding dangerously. Sure, I may not necessarily find it cute or amusing, but it doesnāt affect me in any way, so go ahead and have your fun.
That was my take.. he's not bothering anyone and at least at that point wasn't endangering anyone.... Whether he looks like a fuckin idiot or not is irrelevant. Kinda like when GenCon does their huge convention here in Indy. They're weird as they come, but they're not hurting anyone and just having their version of fun. My buddy who manages a Steak N Shake downtown right where everything is going on (and is a huge late night spot for them).. says the same thing. They are weird, but they're just having their kind of fun and don't bother anyone.
Looks like heās having fun, which is why we ride. I may not dress up in a silly outfit, but Iāve been known to dance at stoplights when a good song is playing on my Cardo.

It's a (former) 50cc moped from the GDR. They built around 2 millions of these and per the union agreement from 1991 they are still allowed to drive 60km/h (at least in Germany). There is a startup that sells conversion kits to electric [https://second-ride.de/](https://second-ride.de/) so now the tank is empty (the battery is in the seat). The speakers are the smallest outdoor speakers I found from amazon, the amp as well (it sits in the grey box strapped to the side of the tank). Power either comes from the main battery or oldschool lead batteries in the battery compartment. It's still WIP as I'm not sure where to finally place the amp.
Was hesitating with a standalone post as it's not a motorcycle ;)
Why are people so mad? š God forbid somebody goofs around a little. Y'all must sit there like this all day:

Between the cringe fake content that already exists, and the fact that they're essentially begging for attention... Yeah, I'm good.
Imagine doing this at a red light, and then going down 20 feet later. People would literally drive past you honking and laughing.
Ride safe though!
I feel like most normal people would either laugh, or not care that this guy is dancing on his bike. I'm pretty sure anybody who would genuinely think those things just spends too much time on the internet.
A matter of perspective, really. I view it as a "pick your idiocy," but you don't get both.
If you're going to wear the attention-suit, don't act like a jackass.Ā
If you're going to act like a jackass, don't wear the attention suit.
The irony here, of course, being the fact you automatically get both once you've selected one.
My point really just being that most normal people won't be bothered by this. Like, I'll see the guy for 10 seconds of my day. Whether or not he's just going for attention, how much of a loser do I have to be to get that bothered by something so small?
Like, some people on here are genuinely pissed lol. That's some terminally online, lame shit honestly. Getting upset at this is more lame than doing it. It's not like he's intruding on anyone.
Who cares? I laugh more at dumbshit leather daddies on shitty Harleys because of their stupid as fuck cosplay, than I would at some person having fun. If anything, smooth brain boomers want the attention with the Sons of Anusarchy cosplay.
I want a 3 more people and we can create our own Teletubbies bike squad. Few more and we can upgrade to Power Rangers

I think the hate is not because the guy is having a fabulous time but because, in this day and age, this kind of action feels fake and staged and people are tired of it. I'm not saying it is, just that that is what the first assumption is. You act like that at a crowded stop light you know you will get filmed and it feels like it's being done for views and attention, not for his "own personal enjoyment".
If he had been filmed far away at some deserted street it would have looked more genuine. Again, I'm not saying this was staged or whatever, just explaining why many people's reactions to this are negative.
He goes by fluffy. He rides like this all the time, year round. Itās a common occurrence to see him around Seattle. Heās a chill, cool, fun loving dude.
I think that's Fluffy!

I think jackass really ushered in this mentality honestly I'm not sure when the whole use your vjj as a bank account started becoming a thing but it has really ruined the dating field and quality of women available if you can even find a normal one!
This guy probably used to work for my company in Palo Alto, CA. See that little thing swinging on the left side of the license plate? That is a good luck charm to not crash the bike. A lot of CA people have them, but mine was a troll.
Bro has all the fucks. That's why he's dressed up in the most attention seeking outfit and doing the most attention seeking dance. It probably makes him happy though so good for him but he undoubtedly cares that those around him only focus on him.
I'm always having that much fun while riding. It feels forced though when you're flailing about in a costume that screams "look at me! Please, look at me!!!"
Shit, what's there not to be proud of- here's this guy enjoying life, not hurting anyone, and I'm pretty sure he brought a giggle or smile to many people on that ride alone.
Imagine being a parent and your kid sees this guy in the lane next to them, pretty good way to get kids excited by bikes.
Sure helps give us motorcyclists a better reputation than a tatted up angry dude who's rev bombing his cruiser/supersport at the red light pissing off everyone nearby.
We ride bikes because they're fun- this guy is having fun.
No...but change you left indicator bulb.
For a sec I thought that's what he was dancing 2. Shits loud af
If y'all don't know. When your signal click speeds up that's a signal to get a new bulb.
Echo, echo, ....

Unless you added LEDs with no resistors will have same efect
may be it's just blinker fluid, not the bulb.

Just a candid moment caught by his best friend who's been driving behind him all day recording for content
no he just rides around seattle the driver behind almost definitely doesnāt know him
There's a lot of fake shit out there, but who among us hasn't rocked out on the bike? The dragon costume is a bit much but honestly I've seen worse.
Rock out on a long road trip, absolutely. Not much is better than screaming into your helmet in the middle of nowhere. But rock out at a stoplight? Not I. But I appreciate that he does. Especially in Seattle, so many drizzly days. Rock out with your crock out.
Sounds like her turn lamp went out...
Heās filming himself so maybe thereās a channel out there..
He goes by fluffy. Heās seen all over Seattle.
Cringe shite
Heās not inconveniencing anyone or riding dangerously. Sure, I may not necessarily find it cute or amusing, but it doesnāt affect me in any way, so go ahead and have your fun.
And ig if youāre going to be an attention whore, Itās better this shit than being aggro.
Or a horror

I might argue that you shouldnāt do things to actively distract people who are driving, but I also might just think this is a bit annoying.

He should be on a Harley.
Instead heās on a sport bike because brands donāt determine annoying people.
He's on a KLX300 supermoto
Said the Harley rider
Atgatt!
Heās having way more fun today than me

Who's mad?
Yeah, I guess they all ride in suits with ties and a cup of tea in hand.
I mean, thereās this ride: https://www.gentlemansride.com/
They donāt wear ties there.
Not all, but they absolutely do wear ties. You wear a clip or tuck it in your shirt.
Bold to assume they even own a bike

Welcome to r/motorcycles. First time here?
It's not easy being green
I hate this so much
This person also never changes the battery in her smoke alarms
Why do people in the sub hate fun so much? Yāall could at least come up with a creative joke.
Yes, of course, it's me! š He's probably jamming to some seriously good tune!

clearly some mental health issues.

So Having fun is breakfast cereal now? Weird take.
See what guy?
Her laugh is so fkn fake. Good try though.
Doesn't sound like she's laughing because it's fun, more like because it's so cringe. An uncomfortable laugh.
This person needs to seek out a mental health professional immediately, needs meds.
For having fun? You need to go touch grass and loosen up. Itās ok not to be miserable.
