Am I the only one who hates loud motorcycles?

I know a few guys who had built or bought custom bikes and they can be done tastefully, but I do hate choppers/Harleys that are ear splittingly loud. Not only do they deafen you as they drive by, but the exhaust sound itself sounds terrible in my opinion (just noise).

Not all choppers or Harleys are like that, but many are in my area. Sadly for them, CA emissions standards and equipment are going to hit those guys hard soon enough which is only fair in my opinion.

I have the baffles in mine and it's loud but when I remove them it's loud as sh!t so yeah I know what you mean just b/c it's loud doesn't mean it done tastefully.

That's true for many things, cars included! Are baffles the main way you control noise levels then? I always wondered how that worked as many motorcycles don't have any visible mufflers or resonators on the exhaust.
