Like when Im driving next to them and can hardly hear my stereo because of the guy on the Harley next to me with his loud exhaust. Buncha RUB’s Rich Urban Bikers. Spend $25K on a new bike and put some “cool” loud pipes on it and POOF you go from sitting behind the desk 5 days a week to instantly being a bad ass biker. Personally I hate harley pipes and sounds. they all sound the same, 99% look the same and do nothign for me. They are loud as fuck 10 feet from them and sound decent at idle, but WOT they sound like farts inside a tuna can. Guys with piped v-twins ride with ear plugs becasue its so damn loud. Just put a fucking DB limit on everything in the area. DONE and DONE. no more 110DB riced out hondas, BossHoss on his bad ass vtwin, squid squidly’s gsxr600 open header whip, 94 caprice classic stuffed with 4 15’s… all that shit. ---

The Prius are too quiet, I demand the Albany Police Department to do something like give them a fine if they were caught driving on the road without their horn going on at full blast. A Prius that snuck up on ya is actually more dangerous than a bike with loud pipes. ---

Some Noise is OK, but most bikes are just too loud… There should be driving lessons for everyone though… ---
