I am not a "saftey insturctor", but I have gone from loud pipes to quiet on consecutive days and noticed the change in awareness of the car drivers.


So I'm riding my '01 Bonnie Wednesday with it's stock pipes and upon leaving a traffic light the guy in the pickup next to me in the right lane just comes over right on top of me. No signal, no look and he looked at the bike while we were stopped at the light! Never happens with my America's Specialty Spares and they're not stupid loud...just a coincidence? I'm upping the output of the Bonnie a bit so it doesn't just disappear into the cell phone/satellite radio haze of the ordinary cager. Not stupid loud, just not too quiet.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
