January 19, 20206 yr You never hear the round that slots you. Situational awareness is key. The premise that someone should have heard you coming is a nonsense. Groan, groan.
January 19, 20206 yr Popular Post Loud pipes pee off the neighbours and give everyone a headache...simply look at me look at me attention seekers ????

The premise that someone should have heard you coming is a nonsense. Groan, groan. Are you really entering the debate & leading with a ‘sniper comparison’ ??? Sat in my car, yapping away with my Wife, son on the back seat asking for his iPad, along with a multitude of other potential distractions I’m alerted to a nearby bike because I can hear it.... Everyone else around can hear it before I see it - that makes it safer for the rider. That people should be aware of those around them doesn’t mean they. Even the best of us make mistakes, even the most greatest-legends-of-bull<deleted>tery amongst us can’t be alert to everything around them 100% of the time, every time. Being herd defiantly makes it safer for the rider. There’s no need for loud pipes & riding around like a goon, but something loud enough it be heard will always be safer. Of course, always expect the unexpected from other road users & if they hear you they are less likely to do the unexpected when near you.

January 20, 20206 yr I have permanent tinnitus now due to years of using loud exhaust on my previous bikes. Never again, especially on a single cylinder. I even use ear plugs now to reduce noise (wind and engine) when riding; it helps me focus better when riding, plus I'm less tired afterwards.
January 20, 20206 yr Popular Post I could never understand why someone who enjoys riding, also enjoys extra loud engine noise to go with it? A nice quiet bike is a pleasure. Teenagers OK, I get that, but not adults.
January 20, 20206 yr When I had a loud pipe on my Cagiva I did ride a bit slower in town so maybe they are safer...????
January 20, 20206 yr Small single cylinder engines were built to get from A to B quietly and efficiently! They were never intended to sound nice or be "racing" machines! They tend to sound like cement mixers on steroids!

January 20, 20206 yr I read this thread, fired up with indignation, that someone was complaining about our magnificent Highland Bagpipes (Commonly referred to just as the pipes). Turned out the subject was just manopausal posers on big scooters. Sorry my mistake!

For me being a biker it's how it sounds. e.g. Waves going nowhere fast with nasty sounding loud pipes which you can hear and seems to go on forever annoy me.
January 20, 20206 yr My 2T sounds like a tugboat. Being close to my Click and his pierced exhaust. Which however does sound as a diesel woodsaw, once the throttle is thrown full and quickly released everyone knows I am there. Time to replace/fix.

January 20, 20206 yr Aah motorcycles... The one hobby we all share in this nation. Some ride 'm, the rest of the population hear them.

January 25, 20206 yr Popular Post "Exhaust" or "pipe" is designed to remove traffic fumes from engine in a safe way. The device designed to "save lives in a loud way" is called "HORN".

January 26, 20206 yr I think anyone wants a loud exhaust should get a license for it, part of getting one should involve chaining them behind their bike with loud exhaust for a full day and go full throttle every few minutes, if they liked it they can get a license...!!!? lol Although they will soon be deaf and can't hear a thing, so that defeats the purpose...! To be honest I think most of these guys are deaf anyway, and they should take away their motor and driving license ...! The only reasonable loud exhaust could be accepted if it is only produced at high speed and high rev, not in town torturing everyone else at expense of self satisfaction of an crazy attention seeker that can easily be classified as obviously sick by any first year psychologist student ... lol
