    Why do some people think it's cool to have their motorcycle make unbelievably obnoxiously loud noise?

    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

    South Park addressed this a couple years ago. Worth checking out the entire episode, even though it contains 'bad' language (as does this clip): South Park Bikers[^]

            I tend to think that it's a lot like an infant with a noisemaker toy.

                I've ridden and raced motorcycles all my life - went to the IOM TT and manx GP about 20 times and never felt the need to make more noise than was absolutely necessary - some people are just dumb

                  That's not testosterone, quite the opposite. Testosterone is the happy hormone that helps bone density, muscle mass, mood, etc. Only low T people with jealousy blame everything on T man. Loud peeps is just attention seeking and immaturity. There are plenty of low T dudes who are effeminate that also need attention.

                      :sigh: your just an old fart, loud, flashy and fast is the hallmark of the young and stupid. Personally I like the idea of the electric bikes, a gentle whine at the threshold of hearing.

                          Don't you get points for pedestrians with their nose and eyes glued to their smartphone?

                            You'd need a small thermonuclear device to get their attention. 0 points.

                              What I am totally baffled about is the new fad called the ?CaliLean?, where the front of the vehicle is raised. It looks stupid and is very dangerous, also looks like a dog dragging it's ass along the road.

                                Do they drive past you whilst coding. Are they a common feature in your neck of the woods so as to be a frequent nuisance whilst commuting to favorite coffee shop. I have been fortunate to reside in locales some distance from main roads w/ result small number of traffic. However I am intimately acquainted w/ loud noise. At a prior such residence a quiet condominium w/ exception of insane neighbors on one occasion the grass trimming / cutting was performed w/ a powered hand held device emitting such volume I was unable to hear my own thoughts and had the impression w/o exaggeration a 1,000lb gorilla was in my room. How the operator maintained his hearing I can not imagine. Thankfully as stated it was a one time event. As for insane neighbors I can only hope they reside in the most insane parts of hell.

                                  Influence - in the community, loud is assimilated to powerful and performance. Do not underestimate the power of mass consciousness, it is everywhere. At least people who likes Apple do not make noise :laugh:

                                    Same reason some car owners have loud exhausts that pop and bang on the overrun, and are competing with the doomf-doomf-doomf of their ridiculously loud and distorting in car entertainment. I guess. The latest car craze that I don't get is wheels that lean in at the top at a stupid angle.

                                          For the same reason that they used to ride motorcycles while crouching over the handlebars - it allows them to believe that they have something between their legs. :)
