I hear a nicely tuned loud bike and I think that the bike sounds good. I like loud bikes. Crotch rockets, cruisers, tourers; it doesn't matter. I like loud cars that are tuned nicely. I don't like the people that rev the cars and bikes needlessly in the midst of civilization. I do not appreciate people who think I should modify my bike to make them quieter. If I am an idiot in the midst of others and rev and spin out and basically act the fool then I deserve scorn. If I am respectful of others with my loud pipes then I do not deserve scorn. If it is assumed that having loud pipes is disrespectful of others then it is a matter of perspective. They feel their rights are trampled because of my pipes. I feel my rights are trampled because I am forced to modify my motorcycle. If pushed I will have to say ****** you and keep my pipes. If it is the law, I will either change or move.
