Here's why they suck:
They are distracting! They are annoying. The noise drowns out the music I'm listening to in my car. Some bikes aren't that loud. I think that the bastards with loud bikes use certain noisy mufflers on purpose because they think they will get noticed and reduce their chances of getting hit. Trust me guys, that loud sound makes us WANT to hit you! You motomorons ride around like you own the road all bunched up together with all your bikes raising a cacophony that could drown out an ACDC concert. They should pass a law that says once one of your stupid bikes passes a certain decibel, you get fined and you go to jail. Why? Because that's what jackasses like you people deserve. You suck.
In our state, NC General Statute 20-128a (link below) makes loud bikes illegal by virtue of the fact that the high-decibel roar only comes from aftermarket high-flow racing mufflers and not OEM pipes.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately a great many law enforcement officers are also motorcycle enthusiasts, and thus ignore the offending vehicles.
Compound this with the fact that anyone with a socket wrench can install them, and it doesn't matter whether the dealer installs them or not. They are still legal for purchase.
Short of outlawing all motorcycles, their manufacturers, and companies that make parts (OE and AM) for them, the problem will never go away.

Motorcycles should be banned. They put other people through hell.
