Revving chainsaws like a dirt bike or Harley at a stop light.

Mine started life as a small block car. Now 645 horse monster. M22, 9" 3.73 Detroit Locker, and scary when ya hit the loud pedal!

This is the only time I endorse it... seen them live 3 times years ago.

Noise has always made my work day harder as I ran all types of heavy equipment for 45 years. Skinning a straight pipe Cat for days on end I needed quiet mufflers on my Harleys. My saws have stock mufflers and I don't blip them.

LOUD PIPES SAVE ..LIVE'S !

I know this thread has been idle for about 2 months, but I have to comment. I grew up running battered and worn out 2 strokes, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc that you pretty much had to keep blipping the throttle to know they'll keep running and not load up. Not to mention years of using, fixing, maintaining junk 2 stroke saws, trimmers, on and on and on that hated to sit and idle.
This has become so engrained in me I'm virtually incapable of just letting a 2 stroke idle any longer than setting the idle speed / checking the carb mixture, or setting something down for a moment. I guarantee I have not any 2 stroke just idle for more than 15 seconds in my entire life. I'm not piss-revving, but Im giving little blips or holding off idle.
I'm like that chicken that got his head cut off and kept living. If you cut my head off and put a running saw in my hands my finger would keep blipping the gas.

For Harleys...it's just idiocy. There's no reason to rev a harley at a stop light besides the 'look at me' factor. Of course, there's no reason to buy/ride a Harley besides the look at me factor. They honestly suck at riding...but I digress.

2 strokes....most of the dirt bikes I've ridden, if you let them idle too long they will load up, stall, and possibly foul the plug. Don't really want to be trying to kick start a flooded bike at a stop light. Blipping a 2 stroke can make sense.

Saws....some of the same reason. Poor tuning can cause them to not idle very well and require constant blipping to keep from stalling. Piss revving it...that's just nonsense.

Yeah. Agree.

But I’m sitting on my couch listening to Christmas music on my hand but dynaco tube amp enjoying some well earned time off and coffee while it is sleeeting. I’m very lucky - I realize.

Need to aquire equal amounts of tube amps as chainsaws to keep things in balance. Check out the JLH 10 watt solid state amp circuit (1969). Very nice tube-like single-ended triode kind of sound.
