It remains to be seen if they will stay or we’ll use something louder for propulsion besides the gas ICE but regular gas engines will get phased out eventually… The bike I ride is pretty quiet so I can’t and don’t rely on others seeing me, or hearing me, I just do my best to predict what they may do in advance and act accordingly. As far as pulling in the clutch and revving, to me its the same thing as putting it in neutral at traffic lights - **you’re relinquishing control of the vehicle. Not an acceptable proposition.** Give me a break. You mean to tell me that you never: Removed your hand to turn your gas to reserve, Sipped up/down your jacket, adjusted your visor, waived at a fellow motorcyclist? All of which require MORE time to finish said action than it will for me to make myself heard for a second or two? Dont get me wrong, I dont RELY on the sound of my machine to keep my alive, infact to me it is just an added “tool” that I can use when I feel the need. I am just like you, my eyes are allways moving and looking outs side my 20 something foot “safe bubble” I ride in. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-one-taken-down-by-a-fucking-retard/245034)._
