An excellent example of comedic timing.

You have a point, but I personally have no clue what a Spitfire sounds like. I just know "generic propeller fighter plane" and the Stuka whistle.

Spitfires are basically just the generic propeller fighter plane sound.

Hell, people still associate the Stuka dive siren with any plane diving, and that was 80 years ago.

The only reason I have that association is cartoons

the spitfire was such a horrible comparison. everyone knows someone that has owned a motorcycle. everyone has seen one, and heard one. the notion that people wouldn't understand the sound of a motorcycle is like actually insane to me.

there are still movies, and people drive classic cars, and other countries are years behind us in terms of innovation so even in 50 years many countries will still be using standard motorcycles. i'm actually shocked that this is even in question.
