Drive like a car and have good lights. Most cars don't hear anyway. A lady backed into me from an intersection 30 ft away while I was in a Jeep liberty with my stock and air horn and she still didn't notice. Excess loud is just stupid. Learn from the jap bikes and make the engine run right...
@JackinNYC. No disrespect bro but um loud pipes help us from being broadsided by cages. I seen a honda gold wing get pummeled by a vw bug jus because the person did not see them. I am heard from down the street and haven't heard any complaints from people around me. So before you start judgin us loud individuals do your homework first. - Bandit Aka Loud and Proud
My exhaust is loud because it added 8hp and 4ft-lbs and got rid of a midrange power dip. People don't notice either way. Most tell me it sounds good, but that's irrelevant.
Citizens for a quieter city... Bikers against dumb drivers
U say we have small penis.... I say we have huge balls
and Well. citizens can suck my pipes, when they learn to drive withour talking by cellphone, gettin makeup and lookin at mirror when they change lanes... then maybe I'll get some silenced pipes... as every GOOD biker knows. loud pipes save lives...
So that answer to not getting in an accident is to annoy everyone around you in a ten block radius wherever you go? If you are scared to ride then maybe you should sell your bike. Oh, and this bullshit about it saving lives doesn't really explain why these attention whores rev them at stop lights.
With 30 years of riding I finally modified my pipes 2 years ago. I was sick and tired of HER trying to run me off the freeway in an SUV while talking on a cell-phone. If the dumb-biotch is too busy talking on a phone to use a mirror, then she better be able to hear me.
I kind a agree, that some pipes are way too loud. I do not like the fact, that with some exhaust systems, car alarms go off, little children start to cry and caddle goes crazy.
But I have to say, that it helps if your bike can make a little grunt when you twist the throttle. Lot's of people who are driving cars are a real hazard... no kidding !
I believe that the truth is somewhere in between. The timing and setting when you twist the throttle, is above the so called problem of "loud pipes".
I just hope they guys that make their motorcycles that unnecessarily LOUD go Deaf quickly.. I hope their ears hurt after they ride,, what is the point of being that loud??! oh to 'save lives, and be deaf?' you can be loud, but not sooo loud that you set off alarms and can be heard from about one mile away. I swear I cant hear myself YELL sometimes when those idiots are around.. and they always seem to love annoying people when theyre at red lights they keep revving their engines. quiet it down
i hate loud motorcycles so much. if you're such a fucking pussy that in order to make yourself feel safer you ride a bike that literally "screams" everywhere it goes, then you don't have enough balls to ride a bike. go fucking kill yourself and leave the rest of us in peace. BIKES ARE DANGEROUS. If you want to be safe don't ride a bike. Ban loud pipes.
@arvizuzu i complain about them because moronic fucks like yourslef drive past my house between 1 and 3 am every couple nights reving their engines. it wakes me up every time and if i was as much of an inconsiderate asshole as they are, i'd shoot them. it has nothing to do with balls, it has to do with human decency. you cowards all think you're so tough with your suckerpunches and your intimidation tactics. you wouldnt last two seconds against people with real moral courage and decency.
@colorconnection the only reason why i would have loud pipes (wich i am looking at fitting soon) is because the average car driver doesn't seem to know what the reflective things sticking out of the their cars is for.
so if a car is not going to look for me, im going to do my best to make sure he knows im there.
Loud pipes save lives? 100 dB and up means delivering acute&permanent hearing damage. Riders&Drivers THAT loud may be shot in self defense =D.
Make no mistake, I love the sound of a V-twin and praise revving during lane splitting, but there's a difference between being heard and being obnoxious.
I'm not a big fan of lout pipes but I've had to hitt the rev-limiter a few times to get a cars attention since horns do nothing. I understand the reason for loud pipes. The sad thing is the people who made this and posted it may think that the loud pipes are annoying but if they would look twice before changing lanes, or hell even ONCE to make sure it's clear then maybe we wouldn't need to be so loud to make our presence known.
@PsychoDaveFilms Wait... so because driving a motorcycle is dangerous... everyone else has to deal with you being loud and obnoixious? How about put a louder horn on your bike? Is that not an invention that exists? I deal with some asshole at 4:30 AM every fucking morining driving by my house with an extremely loud bike. I literally want to set my alarm for 4:30 and give him a blast of a canned fog horn when he drives by. I'm seriously thinking about going to home depot and buying one.
@freezazoid didn't your parents ever teach you not to say anything when you don't know what your talking about? Using a horn is usually at the moment it's too late. Being heard/seen before that moment is crucial. Motorcycles are just as dangerous as crossing the street so get off your high horse on that one. If getting a fog horn does it for you then go get one, or you could just flag the guy down and ask him nicely to take another route. You sound like you have more issues than loud bikes.
@PsychoDaveFilms : So you're saying that a pedestrian or bicyclist should have a loud alarm type noise always going?! That's basically what loud motorbikes are doing. You can't just fucking annoy every person around you! Plus let's face it... bikes aren't loud for safety. you could just put a loud alarm on them that constantly ran if that were the case. Owners make bikes loud cause they thing they look cool... but they aren't they're fucking obnoxious douches.
I live in America and I'm embarrassed that we equate our freedom with the right to be assholes any time we want. Go ahead and ride your loud bike on the highway where you're not bothering anyone, but use your freedoms with intelligence. A recent poll places American high school students 37th in the world in math and science but #1 in self esteem. Why are they so proud? Is it better to be loud and proud, or smart and thoughtful? The successful person doesn't have to shout to be heard.
yea i understand that at certain times of the nite people shouldn't be out revin on their loud bike or car. But loud pipes when driven a bike does let ppl know that your around. Besides actual safety it's a choice of the owner. Don't you live in America where your FREE.
WOW I never realized how stupid that sounds. I love how the can't haves and the don't haves think the do have are making up for a "lack" of something. If it bothers you tought shit. I have to live with pedophiles in my neighborhood and they are much more of a public nusiance than my 118dbl pipes. My pipes never molested a kid. I cant imagine my loud pipes hurting a family and scaring a child for life. YOUR PSA is dumb and holds no merit or truth.
I have a small penis, and I dont feel the need to have loud pipes, a big 4x4, get really pumped at the gym, get a gun or anything else that us small penised folk are supposed to use to make up for our lacking in the trousers. I just avoid wearing speedos.
i drive a loud harley davidson fatboy and i do not have a small manhood but i do try to be quieter (sorry if that's spelled wrong i just woke up ) in certain places but in my experience loud pipes save lives thank you
Wrong Zippy I ran loud pipes on my Harley a person whose gender and age shall remain secret .Decided to turn into my lane I pulled the clutch and cracked the throttle said person realized and jerked back in their lane .The Oakland Police asked for loud pipes because they were in danger of getting almost run over by Idiot cagers that DONT WATCH WHERE THEY ARE GOING.Loud pipes save live's
With db-killer out (no ear plugs needed), people in cars make a room for me about 4 times more frequent. And how many of them can hear me earlier then see me in the mirror (10 times more)? No statistics but this is a FACT.
If want to talk about noise you have to measure all noise. Sound coming from loud motorcycle pipes are less irritating than noise coming from cars tires.
If you fight for quiet motorcycle exhaust, take off your car tires first.
motorcycles should be as loud as u want them to be, they are no violating any rights and if u think they are too loud or annoying go somewhere else. and yes loud pipes do save lives, i cant tell you how many times i cross the street and there is the sun in my eyes and i cant see a motorcycle and they rev the engine and then i know a motorcycle is coming
@775Ariel Honestly thats a bunch of Bull. Im not sayin out of hate im saying out of the fact that we just say that so we can have a nice loud exhaust and if we get pulled we tell the cops and haters that.
@775Ariel I know some people say that, but as a rider, I just put more faith in my own riding skills and remain aware of what is happening around me. The loud pipes save lives is a myth... like unicorns.
l love reading comments by dopes who keep hanging shit on harley's
lve riden bikes for 30yrs and only riden a Harley for the past 2
If you havent tried it , you dont actually know jack shit about it.
l now pull up at a venue, the bouncer shakes my hand , says " l'll keep an eye on your bike mate" l say thanks mate , a japanowner pulls up, gets told to move the bike as the idiot parks under an overhang of the building, he cracked the shits takes off fast and hits a parked car, yup, typical
I got loud pipes just the fuck with people... Its great fun!! Fuck off you text/ceel phone armed cagers!! Power rangers better upshift and hit it, or my pipes gonna get you dirty!! LMA!O!!! VvvvVVVrrrRROOOOOM!!
LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES! I know because since I changed my pipes I have not been cut off or drivin into 1/2 as much as I used to. On a side note, if you want quiet, close your windows & put on that AC then put on your music like you do anyway. No I take that back,,,THAT is how my buddy was wiped out.
@OurPlaceNorth that's right - I also know that parting my hair to the side instead of the middle prevents deer from walking in front of me because I haven't hit any deer since I started doing that!
@OurPlaceNorth No evidence to the myth of Loud Pipes Saving Lives. What is actually happening. You are looking to see if drivers notice you and your loud pipes. Subconsciously making yourself more aware of your surroundings. The Loud Pipe Saving Lives myth is perpetuated to endorse bad behavior and lousy riding skills.
@eldudeny Actually, it isn't a myth. I have had Hondas whisper by me so quiet, that I never knew they were there, and I could have lane changed into them. Frequently, you hear a loud Harley before you see them, thereby I began to look for them. The question is whether all the extra noise worth the problems it causes.
@metermatch It is a myth as it has never been proven with fact or science, just unsubstantiated word of mouth. When a person rides with loud pipes he feels safer because he is looking to see if others notice his loud pipes. In so the biker himself is actually more aware of his surrounding. Fact in point...EGO!
@eldudeny I have 4 bikes and all the of them have aftermarket exhaust that are louder than stock. I love the way they sound and the performance they give me. As far as my riding skills. I live in SW MO, close to NW AR and anytime you want to see if you can keep up, please let me know. I pass so called sport bikes all day long who cannot make a corner. By the way, I see way better looking babes on the back of loud bikes than I do any cage.

@CrudeDude U must be one of those jap cruiser poser harley riders. Harley Davidsons are not about technology. There about being true to your country and being as irritating as possible to people around you.
Narcisisstic tendencies of those who complain about loud pipes believing their rights are more important than those of the motorcycling community. so you get rattled for a few seconds by a loud harley oh well and living on the airport glidepath has absolutely nothing to do with the noise levels of any modern city how bout the rush hour traffic, the muscle cars and tuner cars arnt noisy either. sounds like a scapegoat for wanting to limit the rights of others.
Yeah! Fuck the laws. Bikers are SPECIAL! They should be free to make as much noise as they want! Piss on the rest of us who enjoy peace and quiet and voted for laws to keep it that way. Fuck us! We ain't shit! Bikers are EVERYTHING!
notice only motorcycle are targeted by loud pipe laws. how are these laws enforced. i was pulled over the other day cuz the cop said my bike was to loud. i said it wasnt. he said i was getting a ticket for loud pipes. i ripped the ticket as stated to the officer, you have no equipment to tell how loud my pipes are so therfor you ticket is unjust and i refuse to sign it. so insted he gave me a ticket for no helment.
In regards to my last post no I am not going to by an import motorcycle but a import tuner car. This way I can still have my loud pipes which are more ecceptable and crank my radio spewing profanity while driving by and elementery school. Ya Harley suck! Most of these comments have nothing to do with loud pipes but rather brand bash Harley's. Why is there such a dichotomy between motorcycle enthusiasts they are all motocycle regardless of brand!
Oh, Wow after reading all these comments, loud pipes are a real problem. Guess I am going to sell mine buy a import split lanes, pull wheelies on the highway while doing 140 mph and selfishly endanger the lives of everyone on the road. Especially since my pipes are hurting everyone. This way I won't die if I drink, and will be able to stop magically if there is a car in front of me with my quiter pipes. Best of all I instantly get a biger penis!
Whoever made this video is a moron! My 2008 Big Dog Ridgeback 330 is LOUD, My 2007 Kawasaki Ninja10 is LOUD, My 1988 Kawasaki Full dresser ( VOYAGER ) has a LOUD stereo, It doesnt matter if I ride Japanese, or American, Im going to ride LOUD, And to those who like it Quite, Stick that little thing the rider was refering to in your ear!
Had a HD pull up past my Honda Silverwing last year. I saw his rear lights were hanging by the wires and tried to let him know at the next red light, but every time I motioned to him, he rev'd his engine to blast his pipe music.
Figured after that, he was on his own. Loud pipes, no manners. He deserved what he gets.
To put the matter to rest, I Ieft him in my dust after the light turned green. Him on his HD still shifting gears, me on my 600cc scooter.
What a joke you guys are. (both sides) if the pipes are legal then either change the law or be quiet. Is it really necessary to have that loud of pipes. When my radio is up I don't care how loud your pipes are, if I see you I'm going to run you over. So instead of loud pipes you might get a strobe light, It will attract my attention more.
all your opinnion but my bike is very loud and want it louder because thats how i roll! oh yeah to the complainers it maybe that you dont have a bike thats why your bitching!
Visibility my ass... Until they're all wearing hunter orange or safety green I don't want to hear them. These idiots ride around on their loud motorcycles disturbing everyone and whining about safety while they wear beanie sized helmets and take the directional signals off their bikes... honestly it's like a 3 year old asking for attention yelling "look at me.. Look at me..."
Q: What's the difference between a harley & a vacuum cleaner?
A: the dirtbag is on the inside of a vacuum cleaner.
Like beeping horns, sport bikes,chainsaws, lawn mowers and many other things aren't too loud? I love how people always have to blame Harley Davidsons for the fact that THEY have a small penis. You are no different than the people you are complaining about.
loud pipes do save lives...we do it cause you drivers are retarded and dont look for motorcycles id rather have someone hear me before they see me while im riding
I have been riding for over 15 years and find that awareness of those on the road and being prepared for emergency braking or to counter steer makes up for not having a deafening exhaust.
Two motorcycle accidents in my area: Harley ran into the rear end of a jeep that was stopped to make a left hand turn. Why didn't the rider see the jeep? He was listening to his pipes. Loud Pipes didn't save his butt from injury. Yea he survived. Second accident, alcohol drunk and not wearing a helmet. His loud pipes didn't do a thing to help him either. Loud pipes is a myth to support bad behavior and lousy riding skills.
I've got cycle-shack pipes on both my Harleys. I think those pipes are the best compromise. They aren't loud, but they produce a nicer deeper tone than the stock pipes.
I got Jardines on my Ninja 650r..makes that bike sound like a wrx =\ These pipes don't get loud until I get above ~7 or 8 thousand rpm (only on on-ramps though)
funny, but no went riding today and thankfully i rode a loud bike. Lady talkin away on the cell phone and pulled partially into my lane but one little roll of the throttle and she backed off from running into me. just about everyone on here who bitches about loud pipes has never ridin a loud bike before because well there's nothing else like it. Ride one once then come on here and talk..guarenteed you'll change
There is not valid argument for having loud pipes... if you ride a loud bike and use the selfish rationalization for safety, there is this button on the handlebars called a horn, try it! As for wearing earplugs to cut wind noi? Try wearing a helmet, this will do wonders for cutting wind noise, and oh yes, they actually have saved more lives than loud pipes!
It's a shame that horns on motorcycles are incredibly useless. You wouldn't be able to hear it in your car with the windows up, listening to a talk radio station. If they hear your pipes they wouldn't strike you in the first place!
Just wanted to say that a full face helmets does not reduce wind noise enough on the highway. (at least for me) If I ride without ear plugs, at 60+ Mph, for over 20 minutes, my ears start to ring.
I laugh at all the ignorance I see on videos like this. People modify cars, trucks, S.U.V.s, old muscle cars and whatever else they want. How about every other Honda Civic riding around with that rediculous fart cannon on back? What about the rediculously loud stereo systems in some of these cars that can be heard for miles? Yeah none of that is annoying.... I'll keep my bike nice and loud until the rest of the retards quiet there shit up. Until then keep crying about it morons!
i will give up my loud pipes when the four wheel riders have enough sense to give up talking on cell phones and texting on them while driving..guess their commerical would just say hey sorry i am just a big inconsiderat a-hole...lol.
1º that aint that loud...2º a guy that stupid, is normal to have a small D%ck and u dont go around making noise on purpose like that...and i supose they dont have Quads round there or trial bikes or discotheques or....go live in the montain then
No offence but probably someone who has no idea whats it like to be on a bike and how dangerous it can be when some ignorant and lost in their deep thoughts car drivers don't see you (some times they see you directly in your eyes and still don't see you) and run you over at intersections, corners, parking lots, highways and what not. So please get over it, because its not just the love for sound but for safety as well.
ill admit, my pipes are a little loud but i don't wear earplugs because of that, its because of the wind. i REALY just love the sound of loud pipes on a nice ride
I hate to even comment on here....its a battle of wits and plainodude/therealboney/bananasketch u guys are unarmed....plainodude...guys wear earplugs on long rides because of wind noise not bike exaust noise. therealboney...omg your talking about pipes pointed at the ground...stfu....bananasketch...significance ....you better look this one up...because the only significant thing you have done is survive...lol....all three of you crybaby pukes should just stay in california..where you washed up
Louder pipes do save lives. Working the city have seen many times in 25 yrs both on foot and riding have seen drowsy pedestrians step out between parked or between stationary cars in front of motorcycles then stepping back just before being creamed.
One reason is people used to looking for cars only glance quickly before crossing not noticing a bike filtering between cars,a louder pipe allows an extra sense ie hearing to give warning, watch the carnage when electric motorcycles take off.
CrudeDude expain why the Senate in California has passed a bill requiring all hybrids and electric vehicles be fitted with external speakers ?
I'm not saying stupidly noisy HD straight through pipes are good just slightly louder aftermarket pipes on normal motorcycles can save pedestrian lives.
Loud pipes provide very little warning. You can't hear them until they are already on top of you. It's a sham purported to lend credibility to what is primarily an image.
I laugh at the idiots who attempt to validate their manhood with loud pipes with the saying loud pipes save lives. You can never control the actions of other people all the time. I am amazed at the riders who take away their own sense of hearing with loud pipes or even worse wearing ear plugs because their pipes are so loud. Want to save your life? Keep your hearing intact so that you have one of your senses available to hear around you.
visibility saves lives. wear bright colors, keep your headlight on, get a loud horn when needed. loud pipes saves lives is an unproven screed, a myth. most motorcycle accidents are head on. if you want, check out the harley davidson campaign against loud pipes because the blowback is bad for business. basically, loud pipes is for style and self pleasure, as is the joy of riding a motorcycle, but don't make your personal pleasure impede on others personal freedoms.
Studies show that most of the useless noise loud pipes make is pointed to the rear of the motorcycle, exactly where the people you're afraid of hitting you aren't.
If the "loud pipes" crowd doesn't reign itself in before too long, WE ARE ALL going to lose places to ride. Already there are several places that will not allow motorcycles, how many more do you want?
so what you are trying to say is that if we stand back to back & I yell at you ~ you wont be able to hear me because my mouth was pointed away from your ears???
Lucy, you got some 'splainin to dooo!!!
most "researchers" will publish anything the people paying them want them to... think cigarettes ~ "researchers" couldn't figure out for decades that they kill people??!! yea, ok...
or better yet, not being able to stop safely so i meet death at the stop sign.
"loud pipes saves lives" is an unproven myth. loud pipes is more to do with style and self gratification rather than safety concerns. if it were not, then bikers would wear bright, visible colors, approach cars with caution, get a louder horn, keep the headlight on at all times.
Harley-Davidson: The most efficient way to convert gasoline into noise without the adverse side effect of horsepower. How do you now you're riding a Harley?
While coming off an exit-ramp you get passed by a Vespa. How do Harley engineers tell if a bike is worthy of the Harley name?
They check to make sure the exhaust noise in decibels exceeds the horsepower rating.
Pipes would have to exit out the front of your bike to save you from being in an accident. Who gives a shit if you are heard in places that you have already been. I ride two stroke (fast) motocross bikes, if electric MX's are perfected I would ride it in a second. Funny, when me and my friends had muscle cars in high school with loud pipes we got hassled by every cop and middle aged hard on who now rev these loud, under powered cookie cutter bikes past my house.

I don't mind loud pipes coz it helps me know where the bikes are when i'm driving. all bikes should have 102db or louder pipes coz you really can't hear them if the windows are up and the stereo is on. they only have two wheels so we should have the road courtesy of being mindful of their safety coz in the event of collisions the bikers get hurt more than the drivers.
try riding a bike so you'll know why these things should be loud.
just imagine if more people would actually pay attention to DRIVING than to their make-up, cell phones, coffee, paper, screaming kids, daydreaming, sleep driving...
gee, then we may not feel the NEED to stimulate your hearing, since you're not using your powers of seeing while plowing down the road in a 3000Lbs + cage.
The argument has been made that loud pipes announce the riders presence when passing an auto on the left, thereby augmenting the safety of the motorcyclist....the question then becomes, "What? Is moving your thumb to your horn too much like exercise, Chubby?" The actuality is, that motorcyclists have loud pipes because the vibration from the excessive noise makes it feel like they have a penis.
If the chopper riders with loud pipes were really concerned about safety rather than image then they would wear full face helmets, and proper gear. Maybe they would even consider riding a bike that could turn a corner or brake.
Loud pipes saved my life... BULLSHIT!! Most of the fat middle aged hicks I see riding a loud bike don't even have a helmet on, too macho. I can't believe the comments below make it seem that people are scaaaared by the pipes, yeah ok.
Loud pipes saved my life. Unfortunately, there are people out there that can't think for themselves enough to make a conscious decision about big and small. Gee, will my Scion fit under that semi? Gee, that biker dude will surely get out of my way if I make my left turn in front of him. People, the coffee has done been perked, ride what you want, but look out for the idiot trying to KILL YOU!!!
LOL, to be honest, this has got to be one the stupidest videos on youtube. Envious punks who wish they had Harleys make stuff like this. Besides, If ya had a little dick, who cares, as long as your getting your rocks off, who cares about the babe your pounding !!!!!!! LOL, better to be getting some nookie then riding a metric, looking like a poser, and getting none at all !!!!!!!!!!
These pretend bikers are bringing heat on everyone with their loud pipes. A loud horn is more useful and solid skills better still. Loud pipes may make them think they are going fast, or have a penis, but its all illusion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This tired old ego argument has been used by every girly man who can't muscle up American Iron and like to dress up like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers while they balance on their Axis made motorbike that looks like a Lady Norelco with wheels. FTW
I think you are on to something - sport bike riders really want to ride Harleys, they just aren't muscular enough to balance them. It's not because sport bikes are faster, handle better, or don't look like they are stuck in the 1950s.
And I drive a small car because my arms aren't ripped and huge enough to handle the awesome power of a 12 MPG, V8 powered land yacht.

So that answer to not getting in an accident is to annoy everyone around you in a ten block radius wherever you go? If you are scared to ride then maybe you should sell your bike. Oh, and this bullshit about it saving lives doesn't really explain why these attention whores rev them at stop lights.

I swear I cant hear myself YELL sometimes when those idiots are around.. and they always seem to love annoying people when theyre at red lights they keep revving their engines. quiet it down

@colorconnection the only reason why i would have loud pipes (wich i am looking at fitting soon) is because the average car driver doesn't seem to know what the reflective things sticking out of the their cars is for.
so if a car is not going to look for me, im going to do my best to make sure he knows im there.

Loud pipes save lives? 100 dB and up means delivering acute&permanent hearing damage. Riders&Drivers THAT loud may be shot in self defense =D.
Make no mistake, I love the sound of a V-twin and praise revving during lane splitting, but there's a difference between being heard and being obnoxious.

I'm not a big fan of lout pipes but I've had to hitt the rev-limiter a few times to get a cars attention since horns do nothing. I understand the reason for loud pipes. The sad thing is the people who made this and posted it may think that the loud pipes are annoying but if they would look twice before changing lanes, or hell even ONCE to make sure it's clear then maybe we wouldn't need to be so loud to make our presence known.

@PsychoDaveFilms Wait... so because driving a motorcycle is dangerous... everyone else has to deal with you being loud and obnoixious? How about put a louder horn on your bike? Is that not an invention that exists? I deal with some asshole at 4:30 AM every fucking morining driving by my house with an extremely loud bike. I literally want to set my alarm for 4:30 and give him a blast of a canned fog horn when he drives by. I'm seriously thinking about going to home depot and buying one.
freezazoid 7 months ago
@freezazoid didn't your parents ever teach you not to say anything when you don't know what your talking about? Using a horn is usually at the moment it's too late. Being heard/seen before that moment is crucial. Motorcycles are just as dangerous as crossing the street so get off your high horse on that one. If getting a fog horn does it for you then go get one, or you could just flag the guy down and ask him nicely to take another route. You sound like you have more issues than loud bikes.

@PsychoDaveFilms : So you're saying that a pedestrian or bicyclist should have a loud alarm type noise always going?! That's basically what loud motorbikes are doing. You can't just fucking annoy every person around you! Plus let's face it... bikes aren't loud for safety. you could just put a loud alarm on them that constantly ran if that were the case. Owners make bikes loud cause they thing they look cool... but they aren't they're fucking obnoxious douches.

I have GPR exhaust with removable db-killer.
With db-killer out (no ear plugs needed), people in cars make a room for me about 4 times more frequent. And how many of them can hear me earlier then see me in the mirror (10 times more)? No statistics but this is a FACT.
If want to talk about noise you have to measure all noise. Sound coming from loud motorcycle pipes are less irritating than noise coming from cars tires.
If you fight for quiet motorcycle exhaust, take off your car tires first.

Two motorcycle accidents in my area: Harley ran into the rear end of a jeep that was stopped to make a left hand turn. Why didn't the rider see the jeep? He was listening to his pipes.

Louder pipes do save lives. Working the city have seen many times in 25 yrs both on foot and riding have seen drowsy pedestrians step out between parked or between stationary cars in front of motorcycles then stepping back just before being creamed.
One reason is people used to looking for cars only glance quickly before crossing not noticing a bike filtering between cars,a louder pipe allows an extra sense ie hearing to give warning, watch the carnage when electric motorcycles take off.

Pipes would have to exit out the front of your bike to save you from being in an accident. Who gives a shit if you are heard in places that you have already been. I ride two stroke (fast) motocross bikes, if electric MX's are perfected I would ride it in a second. Funny, when me and my friends had muscle cars in high school with loud pipes we got hassled by every cop and middle aged hard on who now rev these loud, under powered cookie cutter bikes past my house.

I don't mind loud pipes coz it helps me know where the bikes are when i'm driving. all bikes should have 102db or louder pipes coz you really can't hear them if the windows are up and the stereo is on. they only have two wheels so we should have the road courtesy of being mindful of their safety coz in the event of collisions the bikers get hurt more than the drivers.
try riding a bike so you'll know why these things should be loud.

If loud pipes save lives, just imagine what actually learning to ride well would do...

just imagine if more people would actually pay attention to DRIVING than to their make-up, cell phones, coffee, paper, screaming kids, daydreaming, sleep driving...
gee, then we may not feel the NEED to stimulate your hearing, since you're not using your powers of seeing while plowing down the road in a 3000Lbs + cage.

The argument has been made that loud pipes announce the riders presence when passing an auto on the left, thereby augmenting the safety of the motorcyclist....the question then becomes, "What? Is moving your thumb to your horn too much like exercise, Chubby?" The actuality is, that motorcyclists have loud pipes because the vibration from the excessive noise makes it feel like they have a penis.

Bike horns aren't loud enough to do a damn thing. You have not spent much time around bikes. Jealous

Model 419 Bad Boy horn 119db
Metal Warts sells 130db air horns for motorcycles. Advertised at the alternative to loud pipes.
Loud Pipes saving lives is a myth perpetuated to support bad behavior and poor riding skills.

This is f'ing hilarious and so true. Like we all want to hear your gay Harley from 5 miles away...and they are far from American made

If the chopper riders with loud pipes were really concerned about safety rather than image then they would wear full face helmets, and proper gear. Maybe they would even consider riding a bike that could turn a corner or brake.

Loud pipes saved my life... BULLSHIT!! Most of the fat middle aged hicks I see riding a loud bike don't even have a helmet on, too macho. I can't believe the comments below make it seem that people are scaaaared by the pipes, yeah ok.

Loud pipes saved my life. Unfortunately, there are people out there that can't think for themselves enough to make a conscious decision about big and small. Gee, will my Scion fit under that semi? Gee, that biker dude will surely get out of my way if I make my left turn in front of him. People, the coffee has done been perked, ride what you want, but look out for the idiot trying to KILL YOU!!!

Besides, If ya had a little dick, who cares, as long as your getting your rocks off, who cares about the babe your pounding !!!!!!! LOL, better to be getting some nookie then riding a metric, looking like a poser, and getting none at all !!!!!!!!!!

These pretend bikers are bringing heat on everyone with their loud pipes. A loud horn is more useful and solid skills better still. Loud pipes may make them think they are going fast, or have a penis, but its all illusion.

This tired old ego argument has been used by every girly man who can't muscle up American Iron and like to dress up like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers while they balance on their Axis made motorbike that looks like a Lady Norelco with wheels. FTW

I think you are on to something - sport bike riders really want to ride Harleys, they just aren't muscular enough to balance them. It's not because sport bikes are faster, handle better, or don't look like they are stuck in the 1950s.
And I drive a small car because my arms aren't ripped and huge enough to handle the awesome power of a 12 MPG, V8 powered land yacht.

and your tired old comment has been ignored by every rider who rides for fun instead of riding to act tough. especially when you find yourself trying to ride a twisty road with a real rider. or you're disassembling your oil-leaking belt-snapping ass-rumbling "american iron" the day your neighbor puts in a 300 mile ride on some of the most exciting roads that you'll never appreciate. Twice as loud, twice as expensive, twice as heavy, twice as slow. Some of us ride f
