I'll never understand why social events that are (or should be) primarily centered around conversation have to have loud music being played. Usually the only person present who wants the music as loud as it is, is the DJ.
Really frustrating for me with my degree of hearing impairment.

Any day when it's nice enough to wash your bike, it's a nice day for riding!

Which is why all my motorbikes are dirty... 😂
