I guess that if you don't want to hear the sound of an engine....you could just go to a place where they only use silent electric cars/bikes....if such a place exhists...

...Some countries have laws that prohibit engine noise over a certain number of decibels...but I don't live in one of them....kids with 125cc scooters try to make their bikes sound much louder here for whatever reasons and many cars/trucks etc don't even have lights let alone a muffler....

I guess that it's all down to what you like, what is allowed, and what you can stand...

....live and let live...
 
If you run every red light and speed away at 180mph you'd be golden, the other motorcycle hero wanted to dare me to look at him, so he'd be around. Also I don't fuck with anyone, but were someone to intentionally throw an item at me intending to harm me, I certainly would punt them into the intersection. As MegaYield said, let physics be the judge.

:joint:


The people that get that treatment TRY to hit motorcycle pilots with their respective 4k lbs of vehicle FIRST....

Once it's on, it's on. But I'm already splitting or riding at, near, or well above 100 mph on any given ride, traffic or not.

Rare likeliness of you keeping up, even if I'm on a 250 ninja and you're in a Ferrari. :dance:

I'm just sayin....
 
funny how all the people talking about the bikes "wanting attention" are..........you guessed it......NON BIKERS. could it be the NON BIKERS who are all mad and jealous and wishing they had the same attention? only an insecure bitch creates a thread like this which shits on the tastes of half the population, accusing them all of being a bunch of drama queens. to me you are the drama queens, just a bunch of bitches projecting their pussy hurt on others, seeking attention just like you accuse the bikers of.

last i checked (as an actual hot rodder, with actual knowledge of the subject), most people make their bikes loud because they LIKE THE SOUND. sure there's some kids who like to get attention. what the fuck is it to you? everyone and their mom and yes, you included, is trying your best to attract attention in some way. i dont like how loud you and your bitch ass friends talk on your cell phones when youre in Starbucks trying to look important, but you dont see me whining about it. if you dont like how loud it is around your house, then fucking MOVE. expecting the world to change for you is something a CHILD would do.

hot rod cars drive by my house and all the time i hear them intentionally revving up and making noise. they do it for a reason: because i have a fast car in my garage and thats what hot rodders do, they make noise and communicate to each other. we LIKE it. if you dont like it.....then i guess your life just fucking sucks, now doesnt it? you arent forcing me or anyone else to put a muffler on if we dont want, so i guess youll just have to deal with it. pussies.

by the way my car is 3000 lbs and over 450 HP at the wheels. and yes it has a muffler. i dare one of you cock suckers to throw anything at my car. if you get out of that one alive, with full use of all your limbs, you'll be damn lucky.

This. Whatever you do for fun, what if I don't like it?

Protest, you're just gaining attention?

Put flowers in soldier's rifle? Getting attention?

Peaceful sit-ins? Attention?

Meditate? You're an attention whore!

bahhahahaha!

http://www.smh.com.au/drive/motor-n...pped-of-fastest-car-title-20130408-2hfoc.html

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport that "set" the fastest speed for a production car in 2010 has now been stripped of that title by Guinness World Records.

In confirming its decision, Guinness World Records said it discovered that the car used to set the world record of 431.072 kilometres per hour had been modified and as a result it had breached the rules.

In today's Sunday Times in the UK, the paper claimed a speed restrictor on the Veyron had been deactivated - something which Bugatti doesn't deny - on the record-setting car in July 2010 which is seen as a key difference from the 30 cars sold to public.

Really?

I think posting quietly makes less noise than motorcycle engines.

I'm probably still wrong though.

It's okay.

Wake up your neighbors and tell them they are being pieces of shit with your freedom.

It's like the Lance Armstrong ordeal...

People want fast but then they want to talk about rules later.

If you want fast you want fast.

If you want rules follow the speed limit.

Humans are a constant disgraceful contradiction.

You've fought in many wars on the highways.

We should hear such tales.

Oh for what loss of woe do thee swerve around buses and fling batteries to buckle enemies asunder?

You break speed limits at will for justice and delight to all.

Ferraris tremble at your two hundred pounds of fury.

Grow up and travel in something safer or at least admit you're trying to die.

Or just be the biggest baddest boy on the playground and still get pasted on the pavement.

Onward brave knight of fuck-everybody-but-me.

May you win many wars on ourselves.

Alright, I'm not going to get into the personality profiles of people who like to ride motorcycles and those who don't like that. Different strokes (pun?) for different folks as the saying goes. But, as our population continues to increase and our cities become more and more dense with humans and our life byproducts, noise has become more of a problem. It is noticeable in both our physical health and mental/emotional health. So, noise is something we need to start monitoring and probably reducing as we keep packing our fat asses into large metro areas.

If you look into it, there is quite a bit of data collected from many studies...its not just a theory, its been proven through testing.

Here's the wiki page on it for starters:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

And the page specifically on the health effects of excess noise:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

Face it folks, our planet is getting too fucking crowded, and the crowd is making that much more waste, of many varieties, to mess up the situation even more.

I hope your mother cannot see this.

What shame or pride have you?

Do you not own a mirror?

Look deep into that vision and tell me what you've gained by this measure.

General public abrasion based on volume of offending noise = attention.

Placing a peaceful symbol in the orifice of a murderous weapon = attention.

What is the fascination of revving the bike up while going under the freeway underpasses? Its loud enough without the reverb of the concrete underpass. We can hear ya.

Had a '67 cougar xr7 with a 351 Cleveland exhausted straight off the heads.
Got pulled over cuz the pig thought I had reved at him under an overpass.
I didnt the car was just loud and amplified under all that crete.

I miss that car!
But it was not practical...

Oh, great wise one, to what do we owe your presence in our nice little thread?

Us, little, infinitesimal, feeble moto riders!

We pale in comparison to great HIPPIES!

Please, bestow upon us, your great knowledge of peace, love and freedom!

We are not worthy of your knowledge, status or stature!

Lol, bad rep yourself, man, I don't get down like that!

Have a great day, you truly live up to your namesake, oh Dear Leader!

Wow, can't believe Bugatti put a limiter on their $2,000,000 car. . . No one would have bought that car if they knew there was a limiter and it just didn't go balls to the wall.

So, by your logic we shouldn't have the choice to ride motorcycles with loud pipes because it infringes on YOUR rv use?

Cool, got it, thanks. I never rev my motor up, except when navigating the twisties, but now, I'm going to blow up many motors every time I see an rv, just pegged to the rev limiter the whole light!


you're wasting your dinosaur juice skippy.

i ride a real motorcycle that does not need to be revved to keep running. posers cannot keep up - they don't even try. i don't do parades anyway...

the joke is getting in the way of the SLOW rv's. fuggin embarrassin if you ask me...

loud pipes save lives my ass... if they were really worried about safety, they should try using safety gear and quit riding from bar to bar drinking and showing off in their halloween costumes.

grow up fer chrissakes...
