Am I the only one who hates loud motorcycles?

So since they are the ignorant ones then I guess I'm right.

I can't argue with your logic

I love bikes. I've ridden them longer than I've been driving. Obnoxiously loud bikes are a big part of the reason most people take issue with motorcycles. I have had an aftermarket exhaust on every bike I've owned, but I kept it reasonable, just like my car.

Even a pretty loud exhaust will be effectively blocked out by road noise and the stereo in the car next to you. All you do when you slap on straight pipes is prevent yourself from hearing what is going on around you.

you must have your music obnoxiously loud. I always hear harleys coming and going even at highway 80mph.

as for the OP, just cus the bikes are loud doesnt make em ********. Generally the bikers are some of the nicest people ive met.

Lemme change that up, harley guys are some of the nicer people. The crotch rocket guys tend to be hella stuck up.

They could be the nicest people on earth, but then it still doesn't give them the rights to rape everyone's ears. My dogs are sweet, but you wouldn't want them pooping all over your yard. It's one thing if you mind your own business, it's another when you intrude into other people's personal space.

The Honda bikers usually just mind their own business and enjoy themselves, I don't see them getting killed more often.

I live less than one block away from a very busy train track and dont hear it like you are and it is alot louder than any bike or car. One thing for sure is that you will not see someone talking on their phone or texting while on there bike and I find that more offensive than loud pipes.

Most of the older guys I know that ride have bluetooth modules in the helmet. There was a guy on a Harley that rear ended a car by my house because he was on the phone.

A lot of the bikes we take issue with are putting out sound levels in excess of 95 dB, with some exceeding 100dB. Even your "properly insulated" house will let in quite a bit of noise. But the bigger issue is the irreparable hearing damage done to the rider and moreso the bystanders.

It depends on the car you're in. I can tell you most of the newer Lexus cars will effectively block out the noise from most bikes.
