Ya know what? Fuck loud motorcycles. Let there be five figure fines for running loud mufflers. After a long day and just about to drift off to sleep, to be thrown into fight/flight adrenaline by some asswipe gunning their Harley off the light and ripping down the street. 🤬
You're not alone (in the UK at least) www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/m...
Drivers want to see cameras that can detect vehicles with illegally loud exhausts or whose engines are revved unnecessarily rolled out across the UK.
I recently swapped the pipes on mine, got a nice growl to it now, but it's significantly louder than the stock and I was worried about being annoyingly so lol. I was asking everyone making sure they weren't, I did not wanna be that kind of rider.
I own motorcycles and two with custom pipes and hell yeah. These idiots have no self control. Theres a way to do it and not be the most obnoxious person on the planet.
I ride a Honda Gold Wing. It runs quieter than most cars!
In the Philippines pretty much all motorbikes scooters and Lorrie’s have very loud exhausts.
There's this one fool I ran down and caught him biking back. The man wouldn't stop and have a talk with me despite my gesturing and yelling at him. I can't even rest in my chair and read without his obnoxiousness and the police just don't care (I know they're part of the problem).
For me it’s acceptable only if your motorcycle goes very very zoom. If you’re riding to the track and you’ve very clearly done everything else you can to make the bike go fast I get it. If it’s a Harley that will drag pegs at like a 20 degree lean I have no sympathy. Cosmetic noise is gross
Especially since that study came out confirming that loud pipes don't save lives. www.autoweek.com/news/industr...
I've been saying anybody who intentionally makes their cars louder and more obnoxious (loud motorcycles included) need to be banished to an island. They can all go deaf together, far away from society.
cities need sound limits, you drive a loud ass car intentionally, get fined (unless its because your carb got stolen)
