But then YOU can't hear anything else? :)

No sir quite the opposite the rider can only hear the purr and the wind the pies are behind us so is the sound esp when full throttle and going 80 plus mph... Just IMO I guess good thread pretty civil in here so far..
Untill a Hell's angel or vago reads it lol...

IME real bikers spend all their cash keeping their bikes running ........ they don't spend extra to make their bikes louder unless they are going to get some power out of it

then there are the dentists that wear Harley underwear on the weekend and think it's cool that the bike someone else built will set of car alarms ........... those guys are the fags they talk about on south park (and they outnumber the real bikers these days)

What about those ridiculously high handlebars that you sometimes see. I remember following one for a few hundred kms one day thinking that's gotta be uncomfortable. You'd look like a chimpanzee after you got off the bike. Can't be good.

The noise annoys me too. Get woken at about 5am by a harley rider going to work. It never sounds like it's running properly either.

I am actually glad they are loud. then i can hear them around me when i am driving, and am less likely to hit them.

IMO louder is better. I have my seadoo piped and it always gets someone's panties in a bunch at the lake. Also have the gf's rice burner piped. Shit about everything I have gets piped. I would run my lawn mower with an exhaust system if it made it sound like a raped ape. I was raised by bikers so maybe I am just used to the noise, I can sleep through a rock concert if I needed to. Loud Harleys sound bad ass, it makes them cooler for sure.

yeah, fuck those noisy bastards. if you wanna kill yourself with a bike, please do it quietly!

where i used to live, every evening between 11 and midnight, the same ingnorant **** would be on his way home. the thundering from his fucking cock-extension vibrated several city blocks. why the fuck must hundreds of people be disturbed just so some insecure needle-dick can feel better about his wasted life?



edit: wow, i can't believe this forum censors "C U N T". shame.

Gypsy thats the thing..... i fkn love (i think all red-blooded males love!) the sound of an awesome engine

Top Gun is my fave movie of alltime for a good reason :))

so I'm a bit divided, because i love them so much, yet at the same time find them soooo fkn annoying to have to listen to when i dont want to lol, just to have to put up with some guys "listen to how my motorbike sounds!" *meh*

if you have a powerful machine then it's noise is the sound of a well made/tuned piece of engineering, whether it's in a car or bike, but a big racing exhaust on some piece of shit engine is inexcusable and for kiddies trying to piss off their parents..

often i see some crappy 125 race bike lookalike or some hatchback with a big exhaust on and they are just pretenders,, really sad that people have to do that to put a smile on their face or imagine their dick isn't 2 inches long..

when i put my foot down i want more than noise to kick in, and it gives the pigs a great reason to pull you over..

I've never appreciated all the loud sausagefest mobiles, be it cars or bikes.

Sure they can be fun sometimes, but sitting around revving them to impress mates is just lame to me.

But i'm just a weirdo that likes comfortable quiet family saloons, electric cars and scooters. lol
