You're chasing the train that's already left the station.If loud pipes project noise forward, then you also believe there's a carburetor out there that burns only water,a perpetual motion machine that generates it's own energy,the tooth fairy, ghosts and the booger man. The whole idea was cooked up by some slick printer so he could sell little stickers to SUCKERS to put on their helments.

I just want to make myself clear on the fact that I don't think that the exhaust on a motorcycle projects it's sound forward any more than I think that the exhaust on a car/truck/SUV projects itself forward. But I know that if I have a louder "cage" behind me, I can hear it. So I feel that a louder motorcycle will be heard the same as a cage.
And yes, there are some motorcycles that are way too loud, just as there are some "cages" that are too loud. But if one person that doesn't see that bike hears that loud bike, then the purpose of the louder pipes has worked.

<quoted text>Car manufacturers today make their vehicles as soundproof as possible to OUTSIDE noises and the motor noise to a minimum level. Common sense SHOULD tell you that the V-twin bike makers can't do that or is there something we don't know about a magic halo on an open machine? The loud pipes are just little boys riding their extension of their manhood saying "look at me" . When was the last time you heard a Gold Wing or BMW with loud pipes. Those guys are confident with themselves and have nothing to prove.

There are alot of older cars on the road that can still hear outside noises. And alot of the newer sports cars are not quite, such as the Mustangs and Camaros. Magic halo - no, if we had a magic halo, we wouldn't have to worry about cagers not watching for us because the halo would protect us
Not all motorcycles are loud. My husband and I own one that is so quite that we get teased about whether or not it is running. We keep that one quite instead of making it loud because we sometimes ride 2 up on it and that way we can easily communicate if needed.
But I do have a sport bike (crotch rocket) that is louder than the normal sport bike and I like it that way - won't let my husband change the exhaust to quieten it. Like it or not, the exhaust is staying louder. And if a cage starts to pull out or change lanes too close to me, I will rev it up and hope they either hear me or take a second look and see me.
As for the comment "The loud pipes are just little boys riding their extension of their manhood saying "look at me" - that can be taken 2 ways. I know how you meant it but it can also be taken as "SEE ME before you pull out or change lanes". You're gonna have to come up with some oother reason exept "little boys" cause there are a lot of Lady Riders on the road now and the number of us are growning.

You don't see ladies rat racing through heavy traffic,driving up the dividing line between cars,and you usually don't see and hear them burping their loud pipes downtown or in residential areas. Yes,the little boys feel stifled at home or down at the plant so showing out in public is their way of venting.

True, some lady riders are more cautious. Personally, I have street raced with Harley's and other sport bikes, not the smartest thing I ever done but when I used to race my sports car down Scottsville Rd wasn't the smartest thing either. I have finally outgrown the sports car not. And I haven't raced a single bike this year yet. LOL
I burp my pipes every once in a while but I do try not to do it at the time of night that someone may be sleeping. I guess I'm just the tomboy that never grew completely up.

The louder the pipes, the smaller the rider's penis.

If you get on the internet to say that you don't have a small penis, that's more proof that you have a small penis.

I'm an authority on everything. These twits that have the loud pipes, you can ask their wives. They will tell you that their hubbies have small dicks, limp dicks, or small limp dicks. The loud noise from the pipes is their way of drawing attention to themselves and compensating for their useless peckers. They figure that if they can't be impressive and dominating in the bedroom, they can be impressive and dominating on the road.
I think you should run them off the road, where legal.
