Despite showing a blatent lack of respect and a total disregard for the people around them is there a necessary reason for this ?

Hi Markin - I asked my husband your question and he thought about it for a minute and he said that when he had his previous bike it had a carburator that took quite awhile to warm up & get the idle to smooth out - and so he would rev it a few times while he was stopped at a light until it was warmed up. Now he has purchased a Meredith Police Bike - and that is no longer the case. He said his honest opinion is that most people who do this as you described - do it to get attention or to get a pretty girl to look at them.. if the bike is tuned and running properly, in his opinion, there isnt a reason to do it..
