Loud pipes don't bother me nearly as much as loud talkers, when you're in public places, restaurants,airplanes, etc and there is that douche talking loud enough for everyone to get in on the convo, asshole. Be considerate and text, dick.
But what really bugs me are the fhags that go through life whining about how the legal activities of others "hurts" them, and somehow "causes them pain" True most Harley guys are attention whores. Also true is most people who run to the internet to scream "attention whore!" When loud pipes drive by are generally motivated by jealousy |

Yes, it happens. I've seen it with my own eyes more than once.

I laugh at them, if they also have ape handlebars I laugh at them even more. Not like 99% of them are hells angels, the vast majority are just wanna be bikers with an inferiority complex and a good enough job that they can pay some bike shop to toss on a bunch of fancy or noisy shit.

It would help if Harleys didn't sound like absolute anemic garbage. Most of them get out of the way for the Charger, and I think that is kinda cool!
they are extremely efficient at turning fuel into noise, and that's about it. I also have yet to figure out why they keep making them look like a cheep fair ride from the 80's. |

Back in the 60"s they made sure my Honda 90 had muffler baffles when it was inspected. Now, in the better weather , with the doors closed I sometimes cannot hear the wife speaking because of the loud pipes. You could not drive around in a car with no muffler?? Boom cars are also somewhat of a problem. Police have these automated speed checkers around town. Why not something useful like a decibel level checker? View Quote No muffler on my fun car, no cat either, just a resonator. Getting in and out of the neighborhood it doesn't disturb anyone. Down shift or have my foot on it? Yeah it's loud, as is the BOV. |

Fuck this god damn shit. My Fucking Harley is pretty damn tame compared to the punks in their fucking loud ass bro trucks around here. But we'll blame that on the HD riders too.
Get a life. |

I bought my first motorcycle in the 70's and back then
people had a negative view of riders and people would go out of their way to mess with anyone on a bike. Many in law enforcement also stereotyped riders in with the bad ones and lots of guys were harassed across the country. We would get pulled over often when traveling through small towns on our weekend road trips. Back then there was a concentrated effort by the motorcycle community to change the image of the rider and it went on for many years and you could read articles in the industry magazines that explained why loud pipes and other idiotic biker trends were making it hard on the riders. Loud pipes were made illegal in many areas and they were on the list of don'ts when it came to changing the image of the rider. Most guys these days have no idea what the riding community went through back then and the effort that was made to change the image of the biker so everyone didn't think they were part of an outlaw gang. The fact is that many of the posers and pretenders love the idea that people think they are 1 percenters and emulate the dress and riding style of outlaw bikers. It's kind of pathetic when you watch the prancers and preeners pulling into a parking lot and then spending 20 minutes checking their "look" out as they all stand around like twelve year olds with their new Halloween costumes. |

Harley's with loud pipes are far less annoying than the piece-O-shit crotch rockets with high pitch loud "performance" mufflers that run around in packs with 300 pound gay asswipes humping their fuel tanks and pulling wheelies on busy two lane rural roadways... just sayin...

Seriously what's too loud? Is this too loud? Because I think this sounds amazing but I really am genuinely curious and what point it is offensive. Listen to the part without the sound insert.

The nature of man is evil.
You do not have to teach children how to be bad but you do have to teach them to be considerate and polite. A society of sex drugs & rock n roll....a nation of narcissists & sociopaths The right to par tay vs the right to peace and quiet. If the music's too loud its because you are too old. If you were a partying inconsiderate youth this payback is to remind you of your indiscretions. If you were a kindly disposed obedient good kid with empathy...then there is no justice. When I was young I loved all the crap that now annoys the heck out of me...I look at it as deserved pay back. I try not to be around noisy rude disruptive people as much as possible. Sometimes they just show up nearby...you suffer for a while but then its over. |

If loud pipes somehow made it more dangerous, idiots would would still have them. They think they are being cool. The "saves lives" claim is just an excuse.
I can't stand them. They give all riders a bad name. Loud noise can cumulatively damage hearing, and these people don't care whose hearing they damage. |

I think overly loud pipes should warrant a ticket. It is bullshit.

The loudness doesn't bother me at all personally, It's the times that it's utilized.
Someone up top mentioned revving the engine in front of an outside dining facility. This is a MUST for a Harley rider, I don't understand it. Sitting at a stop light.... Do you have to rev that thing over and over and over to keep that piece of shit running or what?? I probably could find a shop for you that can fix that if you or your Dad can't fix it. These are the only two annoyances I can come up with personally against the loud Harley guys I guess. I would feel like a total douche doing this in my car. But for some reason EVERY SINGLE Harley rider does it! The bro-dozer diesel guys do the same thing. Most of them probably own Harleys as well. Hell some of the Bro-Dozers are even Harley edition! Why is that? Anyone? |

I started riding in 1975, how about you?

Right as I was reading the new responses to this thread a piece of shit Dodge truck pulled into the end of my driveway to turn around.
Once he backed out again instead of driving off like normal, he slammed on it....with straight pipes on. You are welcome for the use of my driveway.....the thank you salute was not required. |

I do believe loud pipes are useful on cars and motorcycles. They alert pedestrians to the incoming car/cycle, and let people around you hear that you're near them. I think those dead-silent electric cars are actually a big hazard to pedestrians. I've had a Prius or one of those Nissan leafs in electric mode creep right up on me a few times. I'll look behind me and see this nearly silent electric car like 15 feet away. With my loud piped car, pedestrians generally hear me coming from a considerable distance and turn their heads away from their iphone or w/e to see me. Seems safer all around. You also get the amazing joy of smashing the pedal to the floor whenever passing a prius and blasting the libtard with the sound of a real car View Quote |

Had a guy that lived down the street start his loud pipes bike every Saturday/Sunday 6:30 - 7:00 AM in the summertime and crank the classic rock up as well.
Woke up everybody in the neighborhood. Sat in the driveway for 20 minutes revving the bike to Bob Seegers Old Time Rock n Roll, and then split to live out his middle age rebel fantasy. Every goddamn Saturday and Sunday in the Summer. Complete asshole and he knew it. He enjoyed it. Also, families of a certain ethnic group celebrating births and weddings in their backyards. Tents, DJ's with massive sound systems, 200 guests coming and going with all of the traffic and noise associated with it until 4:00 AM weekends and weeknights. Regular suburban neighborhood. Call the cops, cops show up and warn them to cut it out. Lots of friendly smiles and yesofficers, cops leave and it just gets louder. Call the cops again, cops show up and give them noise bylaw ticket. The fine is like $100, they just pitch in and pay for it. Cops don't really care, they'd rather be doing real cop stuff. The moral of the story is try to choose your neighbors wisely. Good neighbors are like gold, respect them and they will respect you. Otherwise, unless you have tons of money and time to invest in lawyers and legal action and BS, forget it. Assholes are the new normal. |

I wear a full face helmet with ear plugs because my pipes and my music are too loud for my sensitive, virgin ears. I have a black face shield on my helmet so other people can't see me lip syncing to Justin Bieber.
