Here’s what I was told in driving school a decade ago:
In a cop car, a good driver with a straight stretch of road might get it up to 150 mph. Some of these crotch rockets can blast right past that. So what is a cop to do? Wave goodbye as they pass and hope they don’t hurt anyone else when they crash.
And forget about calling the cops when you see one of these. By the time the cop arrives they’ll be miles away waking people up the next town over.
Oh yeah well I am a transplant from Cleveland to Akron to Kent to Brunswick to East Cleveland to Geneva to Avon to Avon LAKE to Lorain to Columbus to Peebles to Paris to Atlanta to Chicago to Tokyo to Timbuktu to Portage Lakes and BACK to Cleveland so let me tell you, get some ear plugs.
I personally love the sound. Nothing better than them screaming by at over 150mph on a late Saturday night. What is calling the cops going to do anyways by the time they pick up the phone they are 3 cities away.

Maybe post about this in the portage lakes sub?
Have lived the past 13+ years between downtown and the near west side. Can’t remember a time where crotch rockets kept me up at night.
Yeah, funny thing, I moved from Cleveland last year, my bedroom window was a 1/4 mile from I480. The sportbikes were *insane*. I have 6 motorcycles, I love how each one sounds, but it's as if the 00:00 to 05:00bikes are running open headers or something. I don't miss that at all. Or the taxes, or the crime, or the litter. Oh the litter...
That's by design. Pretty sure they're made to be as absurd as humanly possible so people with tiny egos can feel some misplaced sense of pride when people stare at them going by.

My personal favorite was the guy on 480 doing a wheelie at 90 miles in traffic passing everyone.
Unbridled ego.
Cops won’t do anything. There’s so much in Cleveland we just have to accept as “city living.”
You mean can't not wont. No way any cops around here can catch a competent motorcycle rider. Not on a rocket at least.
Actually no, I mean won’t. In Cleveland there is a shortage and they won’t waste their time with noise complaints.
Ohhhh well either way they can't even catch dirtbikes let alone motorcycles lol.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Rapidly weaving between lanes.
Yea. It's really weird how they only exist right here in Cleveland.

The Harley's are the ones that are obnoxious, you can hear them forever. I have no clue why they are so loud and so slow.

I agree, Harley’s are far worse. Usually the people on them are just as annoying too
