Anonymous Coward User ID: 75593425 United States 10/08/2017 02:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The "loud pipes save lives" is a crock of shit myth that has already been disproved through basic physics and accident data. It's simply a BS excuse for assholes to justify their noise pollution. Funny thing is, I wonder if they would be as understanding if their neighbor had a garage band play loud music during times they were trying to sleep. So you obviously have zero empirical evidence to support your statement. You'd speak differently after your first time riding home during rush hour. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 71169205 United States 10/08/2017 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They're not just grown men. They're mostly old men. And they're not being replaced by young men. That's why Harley sales and stocks are plummeting. [link to www.bloomberg.com (secure)] Too bad actually. It's an iconic brand and an American institution. |

The "loud pipes save lives" metric is impossible to calculate because no one can say just how many "texters" or morning makeup appliers, or loud music listeners, it alerted that may have otherwise cut off a motorcyclist. And in my personal experience I know for a fact it's saved me from a collision with deer more that once. I actually had a deer crossing my path that did what I can only describe as almost a backflip when I cracked my throttle coming around a curve (clutch pulled) that I'd have otherwise have hit. Deer in general in my neck of the woods get scared from the roads with the sound of a loud bike coming. And that might not always be saving a life, but it sure saves a lot of trips to the hospital and a lot of rehab. |

IMO, and from my experience.. if you have the skills, you dont need the loud pipes. i rode in rush hour for years, got hit twice and didnt crash. once on a dualsport, once on a supermoto. loud pipes have their place and thats at the race track. I have a HD and i also dislike the loud ones disturbing the peace. it makes me angry also sometimes. (fkn clown pirate posers!) the best sounding bike ive ever had was an aprilia SVX550 uncorked (@ the race track) itsa V-Twin MX bike basically but it sounds more like a V8 than a HD greatest sounding moto ive ever had! FWIW this is the greatest sounding car: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] watch the full vid, it doesnt start singing all its glory until everything gets the temps up! AHHhhhh YEAHH! |

As simple google search would've taken less time than it did to type your rebuttal. The loud sound projects from the rear motorcycle. Most motorcycle accidents happen in front of the bike, such as a car pulling out in front of the oncoming bike. The calculations of the motorcycle's forward speed, along with the rear projection of the cycles' sound, results in the bike's sound not even being registered by the driver pulling out out until the motorcycle is right there at them. By then it's too late. The car is already pulled out in front of the oncoming bike. Wearing a bright orange suit with flashing lights would actually do more to your life because drivers are using their visuals, not so much their hearing. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68742809 United States 10/08/2017 02:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bullshit. More than half of motorcycle accidents are SINGLE vehicle accidents, meaning they wrecked all by them selves. 25% are when the motorcycle is AT FAULT. 15% are Motorcycle on motorcycle accidents, with the remaining percent left up to cars/trucks hitting bikes. Loud pipes don't do anything, except inflate male ego. Unless you've ridden (and you haven't) you don't know what you're talking about. |
