Then I'd go all out:

Plus a nice loud Harley sound on the MP3 player.

Harleya are passe'(sp?)
Definitely a nice Locomotive sound.

Coupled with some inframe speakers and a definitely not legal e-bike
addition.


No kidding, I have steam locomotive sounds on that player as well. On
long uphill stretches it's soothing to hear the constant chouff-chouff.
One day on my MTB (also with MP3 player) the singletrack veered close to
old train tracks and two girls were hiking there. One in the rail bad,
the other in the singletrack. They were in an intense discussion and
didn't hear me coming. Couldn't resist, I rolled up as quietly as I
could, turned the MP3 loose and the horn of a big Union Pacific Diesel
sounded. GAAAAH! The girl in the tracks jumped to the side. Then we all
laughed.


GSW; On one bicycle camping trip, we stopped beside a beautiful lake for
the night, to be later joined by the Gypsy Joker motor bike club. It was
"what a hey" when a car trailer turned up with "broken down' harleys on
board. The really funny bit was that some had been on it from the start
because they didn't want their bikes to miss out on the trip.


Like the Soviet Army in the old days when they towed trucks into
maneuver areas because they were in disrepair but expected to be there.
It was hilarious.
