Quote HistoryQuoted:
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.

You want to come and tell my 2 neighbors who complain about me shooting in my backyard that they have no right to complain? They'll use the same excuse you just did (in bold above). FWIW I wait until after noon to do any shooting, and typically we only shoot for about an hour. The best part? They'll say something to me about shooting and it wasn't even me. There are no less than six other people in the vicinity shooting on any weekend, and sometimes on weeknights. Different people have different interpretations of what they think they're "rights" are. I live about 3 miles from the freeway. I can hear loud Harleys, ricers, cars, trucks, and jake brakes all day long, not to mention at night. I guess I should have them re-route the freeway. JFC, a loud vehicle driving by lasts a matter of seconds. Get the fuck over it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Riding a bike that has been altered to be as loud as fucking possible, for hours on end, revving and accelerating like a complete fuckknob..... Shares literally nothing in common with your afternoon range session. Unless or course your range session includes touring the countryside with a A-10 and thousands of rounds as you strafe endlessly at will, destroying the sanctity of everyone around you. You bikers are all about "freedom"..... but mostly about being obnoxious assholes whom scream freedom while violating the the rights of others. It's funny, bikers love to drive around making as much noise as possible, but the second some loud ass rap music listening asshole drives by, fuck that guy!! Newsflash, both of them are assholes! |

When I drove a truck the loud pipes of a harley did alert me to when a motorcycle was next to me or in my blind spots so there is that. It's the ricers wizzing by at 90mph that scare the crap out of you.
ETA: the "making up for a small dick" comments seem to apply to loud motorcycles (harleys specifically) brodozers, and guns. Quit liking what I don't like. Libtard much? |

So, if I have loud pipes how am I going to hear another vehicle with loud pipes approaching? Unless they have louder pipes which means I need louder pipes so the guy with louder pipes can hear me. But then I can't hear him. So he needs to have louder pipes. Then I need louder pipes. Then he...

I was taught a long time ago that my right to swing my fist ends where someone else's nose begins. So how is it some attention-whoring fag* gets to have those obnoxiously loud pipes on their motorcycles when it hurts my ears? I get all the talk about "muh rights" and "sound of liberty" and whatnot, but when it's actually causing me pain, why do they get a pass? It's because of thoughtless assholes that go out of their way to be complete and total cunts that we end up with people saying "somebody needs to do something" which invariably leads to more laws. You can enjoy your mid-life crisis-mobile without causing me hearing loss. *n. 1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders. 2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley. It's not actually causing you pain. Stop being dramatic. It's just annoying. People who ride around gunning their engines and making a racket are obnoxious assholes. Sometimes in life we have to deal with obnoxious assholes. We don't. Always have to turn to the government to deal with. |

It helps some with the sound of guns firing right in front of me, but that's not why I wear them..... |

You're an exception. I've honestly NEVER seen a Harley rider with one on here. Anyway it wasn't a rant. I don't really care, I'm just calling it like it is. They claim loud pipes are for safety and then don't wear a helmet. Does not compute other than both of those issues are about projecting an image to look cool and load up on warm fuzzy feelings. The funny thing is one is a very real and tangible way to improve your safety when riding and can very easily be shown how it is likely to save your life. The other has no quantifiable measure of added safety. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
That's about the most ignorant rant I've heard yet on ARFCOM. It's the same sterotyping antigun libtard mentality that says anyone owning an AR (aka Assault Rifle), especially anyone frequenting an online forum on guns, must be a terrorist... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/440344/IMG-0101-174012.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/440344/IMG-5445-174017.JPG I'm not as out-spoken as others on the whole "loud pipes save lives" mantra, but I have experienced a correlation between the awareness of car drivers when you have louder pipes verses quieter pipes. In over 40 years of riding, I've had more cars push me out of my lane or pull out in front of me when I had quieter pipes/engine noise. This doesn't make me want louder pipes just for that reason, but they do seem to make a difference, in my experience anyway. Just so you know, I have completely stock mufflers on my bike and really loud non-baffled pipes annoy me too. I had a recent experience that really brought this topic to the surface again. I spent a weekend riding a Zero electric motorcycle though the mountains. It was a blast! I had no idea I would enjoy it so much. However, I became keenly aware that riding a totally silent motorcycle in traffic was a little scary. No one knew I was even riding right beside them until they visually saw me. I saw many surprised looks from car drivers that weekend. I had never even considered this might be a safety issue until I experienced it. As I previously mentioned, I'm not a fan of crazy loud pipes. But I do have to respectfully disagree with you that there's is no quantifiable measure that louder exhausts are safer. I have experienced it. |

Laws already exist on the books for excessively loud road vehicles, it's just that, since there isn't any money in ticketing them, they don't get stopped. What is funny though, is that they had a Db noise reader years ago at Silver Lake Sand Dunes at the access point and you had to test OK at idle AND at 3000 RPM to be allowed entry onto the dunes. Fail and it was GTFO until you could come into compliance. I'd bet a paycheck or 52 that the loud bikes people complain about don't even come close to what is already codified into law as far as noise standards. |

(a) Every motor vehicle shall, at all times, be equipped with a factory-installed muffler or one duplicating factory specifications, in good working order and in constant operation, to prevent excessive or unusual noise and annoying smoke.
