maybe cars should also start blasting music so bigger vehicles can see them

Like that would even work if it was implemented... :/

Have you rode a quiet bike and a loud bike... and both for signifigant periods of time in heavy traffic?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Since I was 8. Bikes don't have to be as loud as the Harleys with straight pipes. They can be loud without being deafening.
The rice bikes with the hi-perf. pipes aren't loud until you really open them up.
I'd like to see some statistics about which have more accidents because of cars not seeing/hearing them...Harley-types or rice rockets.
I know plenty of dudes that rode Hogs that have gotten run over. Very few were because they weren't seen.

Again, I am not advocating open pipes, just significantly louder than stock. So that's moot.

And I don't need studies to tell me I get seen a LOT more on a loud bike than a quiet one. I notice people looking for me because they hear me. I get FAR fewer people coming over into my lane and pulling in front of me on a loud bike. The experience is TOTALLY different.

20+ years of that is all the proof I need.

Move to Cambodia.

When what someone else is doing intrudes on what I am doing, I show an interest.

You're so full of sh!t, your eyes are brown.

I hope both of your neighbors get big loud bikes and rev them up in the driveway at 1am.

I've always wanted a device that would make small engines die. it'd be so useful. farty motorcycles, snowmobiles, jetskis...all the anoying little gnat machines.

Ignorance at it's best.

I don't have a problem with bikes sounding different or being slightly louder than cars. Most sportbikes fall into that area, and they are easily noticable, even over music. My problem is the aholes that push it way over anything reasonable and then brag about how great it feels to rattle nearby windows (yes, I've heard this multiple times from bikers)

THAT is a penis issue, plain and simple. It's absurd and pathetic.

Okay, agreed. I thought you meant any bike that was generally louder than a car.

I've never seen a bike rattle windows, but I sure as hell have had boom-boom cars rattle crap in my home.

At any rate, like I said before, open pipes are too much, but signifigantly louder than stock is what I prefer.

why do people have to drive thoe loud muscle cars and why do some people have to still drive those old 50s cars that make so much noise... god i hate them all

I see you live in L.A. Well the next time you see a group of Mongols go by with loud pipes flag them down and tell them they have small pee pee's and see how that works out you limp wristed Nancy. "Owww my ears hurt nnnn...":roll:

Actually, it's a life saving thing. With those loud bikes, you're move aware that they are indeed present and less likely to hit a biker.

So bikers are all into safety, like wearing helmets all the time and signaling before changing lanes (or, to be more percice, swerving between cars)?

LOL.

MotionMan

Seriously man, you must be like 75 years old. Have fun with the whole virgin thing.

Personally I like the sound of loud pipes on Motorcycles and Muscle Cars.

my bike is a two-stroke screamer that makes children cover their ears and cry when I fly past them. It's all part of the fun.

Making children and you cry makes my riding experience more fun. Reading you getting all upset on the internet is the icing on the cake!

Thanks for making my day better, motionman!

MotionMan

Tell me why a person should stop riding their bike when you don't know how to drive.

Maybe because it is too dangerous?

MotionMan

Actually per capita bikers have less accidents than cars do..
there are ALOT more car accidents than bike accidents.
and Motionman who the f0ck died and made you god where you can tell me or anyone else that I cant do soemthing becasue YOU think its too dangerous.

Guess what btw.. this is one of the ONLY countries in the entire world that bikes are not considered a primary means of transportation.
becasue of radical conserveatives that must have thier 5 gas guzzling SUVs
that bike not only saves gas so you can use more in your gas guzzler... but also provides LESS wear and tear on the roadways of America.. saving you tax dollars..

If more people drove bikes in this country like they do in Europe and Asia our roads and taxes and gas situation would be alot better for everyone.

 

[funboy6942]

I am a biker, been riding since I was 12. I know when I ride a bike with loud exhaust I get ass hats liek the OP who thinks that because "he" hates it and "he" feels it is unsafe and it posses a problem for "him" that to make "his" world a better one where "he" wont have to hear a loud bike for less then a minute in the city where there are tall building and someone screaming can be echoed throught and be heard through building windows wishes that it shoud go.

For the less then a minute sound he has to put up with for what like 1-2 times a month is sooooooooooo much of a problem that it should be abolished and NO one should ever ride a bike, car, moped, jet ski, snow mobile for it bothers him. Because you have to hear it next to you in traffic it needs to go. No one takes in consideration that if it did go that person could die. Doesnt matter that that loud exhaust could save that persons life, it is a problem for the op and others as well. JUST DEAL WITH IT! I dislike it for its much louder when your riding the actual bike but it has saved my ass plenty of times and NO op I dont drive nuts. On a bike (if you ever rode one you would have a change of heart for they are the most joy) you have to be on your toes at all moments. Yes they are dangerous but I wouldnt give it up. For one its my right. Its my right to have loud exhaust. Its my right to call you an ass thinking if you dont like what someone else is doing then it should be gone for everyone. There is all kinds of dangerous things that can kill a person. Are you going to say all of it shoudl be taken away as well or only the things that bother your self centered ass. Im sure you do something that can kill you you like to do, how would you feel if somone wanted to take it away from you becasue it bothers them? Iwoudl bet anything the tables woudl turn right away and you woudl be telling them to go fvck themselves like alot have told you by mentioning there shouldnt be any bikes with loud exhausts. And funny thing its mainly to safe a life not to piss you off. Thinking like you maybe everyone should stop driving cars for they are dangerous to a biker and should turn them all in for a bike like everyone else. Why should th ebiker have to give up. Its dagerouse because the person in the car isnt looking for them so they should get rid of cars, trucks, and suvs.

You mentioned it inconvienances you please explane how if it would save that persons life it could possibly be a problem for you? So your saying either all bikers should give up for it is not only bad for them but it bugs you. And if you were able to put a quiet exhaust on the bikes so you and other ass holes like you can have a lousy minute of piece and say gets run over by soccer mom in her suv because now not only she didnt see them but she now didnt hear them and killed them your going to feel good about yourself because atleast you didnt have to hear them pass by? Hey you didnt have to hear them and wtf it is soooo dangerous for them to be on a bike so serves them well right? Well stop drinking because its dangerous and you can choke and die. Dont take a shower because more people die in the bathtub then they do in car accidents. Your rationality on dont do it because it is dangerous is bs. Just waking up and getting out of bed is dangerous so shoudl everyone just be bed ridden then?

I hate people who think that because they dont like it and it bothers them it has to go and its not thier way of life it should go or they shoudl die for its such a problem.

Cliffs:
Loud exhaust saves lives no dis-proving it DEAL WITH IT
Making quiet because of law and person dies because driver not only didnt see them is OK because you didnt have to listen for 1 minute of loud exhaust.
Yes it is dangerous but so is alot of things we as humans do
If this was a debate on something you liked that was dangerous and could kill you but was a problem for someone else you woudl throw a fit that someone wanted to change it or take it away from you.
Next time you hear a bike think of it as them being "seen" and heard more so then a inconvienance for you.
For me the louder the better if it will save my life.

 

[KentState]

Some people just like their cars, stereos, or bikes to be loud. Yes, some people have to compensate or have to be looked at, but others just get enjoyment out of it. It's hard to explain, but blasting the stereo in my house where no one can hear me is just fun. I guess that's how some people like to have fun. Others might like making pottery, writing, or whatever that I might question about the need.

 

[foghorn67]

I don't buy the 'it's safer argument'...put a muffler on it and get over it. If you were concerned about safety, you wouldn't ride a torquey monster. Or have a stupid rake on the fork and call it a chopper. Or would you dress in all black leather for your village people fetish.
If my Mustang can't be driven open headered, neither can your Harley. Would people like you rev it when they drive by pedestrians, or coffee shops, churches? Pah-leese, you are not impressing anyone. Get a haircut and brush your teeth while you are at it.
Reminds me of a middle age crisis guy that hangs out at a coffee shop I frequent. He parks it on the sidewalk so the tailpipes are facing the patio. Stupid loud when he fires it up.
The next time he does that, I'm going to hold an airhorn to his ear. That would give him the attention he wants.

 

[SuepaFly]

I have to agree with you, motorcycles SUCK! We pay good money for a place in SF thats has a wall of floor to ceiling windows, and I can't imagine living in a worse place because of the motorcycles.

 

[lokiju]

I have a Honda Sabre 1100cc bike with stock pipes which compared to Harley's are very quiet, I've had a handful of close calls as a result of people cutting in front of me because they didn't see me and the simple fact that most people don't do a quick check for something as small as a motorcycle but something bigger that would take up the majority of the lane they're wanting to turn into to, simply by having louder pipes, it makes it that much more likely that said person would have heard me in the next lane regardless of if they saw me or not.

I plan on getting louder pipes when I can and have real life first hand experience on motorcycles and with drivers not seeing me.

Well lets see here. There is you and a very small hand full that think pipes that are loud are bad and a shitload that feel otherwise. Your the minority so say you suck and if you dont like it go change your way of life for that would be the easier way out.

Why should we change for a few people when were looking our for our lives and all u can do is complain about the noise and want it quit so you can run us over and say "well gee officer I didnt see him or hear him, if only I had atleast heard him next to me I wouldnt of killed him. I am sooo sorry mrs Jones but I had to force them all to make thier bikes quite I couldnt hear what was going on with sex in the city for that brief moment a bike went by. I hated it and my small group like me so we had to do something for we didnt like the noise." Not bothering our way of life is much more important that some one hearing you on your bike and if we kill you because we not only didnt see you but hear you its still your fault, bikes are dangerous

Stop being a pussy and deal with it. And till you ride on yourself first hand with and without a loud pipe none of you really have any room to breath. And if you think because you dont like it and feel it is bad and dangerous, oh mommy its so loud I cant hear my Elmo tape, and still want it fixed, taken away, or what ever fine YOU also give up something you love and charish to do and see how fast that would happen.

WTF???
I have semi-trucks breaking 50mph right outside my house, muslecars, empty trucks shuddering over every pothole, imports with huge turbos, a friggin freight train 1 1/2 blocks away, disneyland fireworks, oc sheriff helos, landing pattern of Fullerton Airport over our block...none of that wakes me up. Except the stupid ahole Harley's with glasspacks or open exhaust.
nothing wrong with performance tailpipes, but a friggin glasspacked Harley is stupid loud. I can hear them for miles.
How would you like it if a bunch of muscle cars had an open header contest outside your house?

no one is forcing you to drive a vehicle that could potentially get you killed. its a choice you made knowing the risks, you dont need to cause annoyance to others and call them 'pussy' if the thrill of driving a bike is worth the risk for you.

I do what I want and if it pisses you turn the other cheek. Aslo means that if you do something that I dont like or pisses me off I too shut up. Not I hate that, it bothers me must repress them from doing if for I dont like it. That would be communism imo.

No its ass holes like you that take peoples freedoms away. For you dont like it it must go no matter what. It is called freedom fvcker and if I want to put loud pipes on my bike I can. You want a house made of glass you can. You cant just go around saying how much it sucks and want to try to take it away from someone who happends to like it. Its not about it being loud or not anymore for me its for the people here that think its ok that since they dont like it it should go. Thats not freedom, thats taking it away. I am sure there are things you liek to do, maybe its not riding a bike with loud exhaust, but if you had a groupe that hates what you do and want to take it away from you because they find it offesive you would throw a sh!tstink about it. Some have a loud bike deal with it, you have stuff that piss people off and they deal with it as well.

Dont try to take something away because it inter fears with your lifestyle. Your not perfect, im not perfect, but it what we want to do, how we want to do it, even if it is dangerous and could kill you its why we supposedly live in america and I am sick of seeing people and thier threads about how this or that pisses them off and there should either be a law, taken away, something done, or what have you. This is the FUCKINGUNITED STATES OF AMERICA and if you dont like what other people are doing then get the FVCK OUT!

Pretty much. I know lots of people who've been in accidents on motorcycles because the other person was some idiot daydreaming that didn't notice there was someone in front of them.

Stop being a pussy and deal with it. And till you ride on yourself first hand with and without a loud pipe none of you really have any room to breath. And if you think because you dont like it and feel it is bad and dangerous, oh mommy its so loud I cant hear my Elmo tape, and still want it fixed, taken away, or what ever fine YOU also give up something you love and charish to do and see how fast that would happen.

no one is forcing you to drive a vehicle that could potentially get you killed. its a choice you made knowing the risks, you dont need to cause annoyance to others and call them 'pussy' if the thrill of driving a bike is worth the risk for you.

its moron's like you who think people who find loud noise annoying are 'pussys' makes me hate bikers even more and their pathetic excuse even more ridiculous
deal with that 'cool dude'

No its ass holes like you that take peoples freedoms away. For you dont like it it must go no matter what. It is called freedom fvcker and if I want to put loud pipes on my bike I can. You want a house made of glass you can. You cant just go around saying how much it sucks and want to try to take it away from someone who happends to like it. Its not about it being loud or not anymore for me its for the people here that think its ok that since they dont like it it should go. Thats not freedom, thats taking it away. I am sure there are things you liek to do, maybe its not riding a bike with loud exhaust, but if you had a groupe that hates what you do and want to take it away from you because they find it offesive you would throw a sh!tstink about it. Some have a loud bike deal with it, you have stuff that piss people off and they deal with it as well.

Dont try to take something away because it inter fears with your lifestyle. Your not perfect, im not perfect, but it what we want to do, how we want to do it, even if it is dangerous and could kill you its why we supposedly live in america and I am sick of seeing people and thier threads about how this or that pisses them off and there should either be a law, taken away, something done, or what have you. This is the FUCKINGUNITED STATES OF AMERICA and if you dont like what other people are doing then get the FVCK OUT!

In that case, we will lower commerical air traffic to a 100-5000ft level, and allow them to cruise above 250 kts below 10000ft.
I'm pretty damn sure if cars were allowed to be as loud as motorcycles, you will change your mind.
Parties next door all night would be no problem with you as well.
