Judging by your responses, your first reaction would be to fight to show how tough you are. Such a big man.
Please, all motorcyclists, make them quieter. Nobody wants to hear that crap.

@ Bazinga: They're loud (for safety) so that folks who don't ride will notice them! For the most part.
Obviously works, seems like you've noticed your share!
And trust me, you don't want to get in anyones face with that attitude.

"The AMA has gone so far as to make a policy statement on the issue which reads " The [AMA] believes that few other factors contribute more to misunderstanding and prejudice against the motorcycling community than excessively noisy motorcycles". They then go on to say, "Shifting blame and failing to adopt responsible policies on a voluntary basis can only result in greater prejudice and discrimination against motorcycling. The consequences of continuing to ignore this issue will likely result in excessively rigorous state and federal standards, ……[and] abusive enforcement of current laws and other solutions undesirable to riders and the motorcycle industry" "
Show me some FACTS sweetheart, not what you want the world to think to suit your own needs.

YES, for SAFETY REASONS!!! See it is like this, when we, (bikers), have to hear your "boom boom" music, (playing at 300 decibles with your windows rolled down like you are really cool, but not really), that also to include your cars vibrating noise of it falling apart from being played so loud!!!
US "BIKERS" have to make our motorcycles LOUDER to try and get you to HEAR us when we are near, or coming by so you won't have to worry about looking over your dashboard, (from being slumped down in the seat while driving), when you make the claim, (you did see or HEAR us), when you hit us, or the fact of you being too busy texting your buds, while you are driving NOT paying attention to what you should be doing in the first place!!
So YES, LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES! At LEAST by YOU HEARING US, you KNOW we are around!!!!
Yes, I have almost been hit several times by people not paying attention to their driving, don't look, texting while driving coming over into my lane, cutting me off because they didn't look around before coming over, etc, so yes with my loud pipes, I move right next to the drivers window, clutch it and hit full throttle right by their window and YES, MY BIKE IS LOUD!
You have a good "BOOM BOOM" day!
You have a point there, but it does ride higher then a cars hood. My wife says to tie a red flag on and "Make The Bike Louder!!!"Red James cash said:Probed have you ever thought of the possible places your metal detector could end up if you were rear ended ?

What an arrogant %$@#.. I also read some of your previous posts and have to agree they are for the most part, very negative and usually rude. Why are you here anyway ? Hey "sweetheart" lets see how smart you really are. Suppose you're broke down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere & you don't have cellphone service to call your other sweeties.. A Caddy full of businessmen, a pickup truck driven by a crusty old geezer, a lowered Honda Civic with big chrome rims, and a guy on a Harley are heading your way.. Who is most likely to stop and offer help ? I bet you guessed wrong rookie... As far as the original post it looks like a cool setup for going offroad but I would probably mount the detector vertically along the front forks or someplace where they don't turn into a hazard in the event of an accident.bazinga said:I thought this was going to be a post about how annoying motorcycle riders are...
