My son says many bikers make the claim the loud pipes are to alert motorists that they are near.
He says most cars have so much sound proofing today a motorcycle can hardly be heard and
that is just an excuse for making noise.
Absolutely agree Roger. I don't see why police don't bust some of these straight pipe harley riding jerks you can hear coming and going for miles. Some of the rice rocket bikes are the same and their sound is even more irritating.
Cops sure paid attention to vehicle noise in the old days, to the point one fellow in our small town had to take the factory stock chambered exhaust off his 1969 397/375 Camaro within weeks of getting it. Any glasspack users were always being harrassed.
I guess now they are too busy sitting on the side of the road with radar looking for income.
