People who blare their car stereos and people with excessively loud motorcycles.

As far as motorcycles go, I’ve heard “loud pipes save lives”, in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.

I’ve heard that too. But if motorcycles actually require that kind of public warning then they probably shouldn’t be street legal.

I’m a motorcyclist and that argument is fucking stupid (not you specifically). If you’re drowning out nearby conversation just so you feel safe when you ride a motorcycle maybe you shouldn’t be riding.

Again this isn’t a personal attack on you, I just hate that i get lumped in with the loud pipe mouth breathers when I’ve ridden 200,000 miles on a quiet motorcycle without getting turned into road pizza.

I’ve biked for decades; any biker stupid enough to believe this will end up dead shortly.
