generally caused by an over abundance of testosterone.

Compensating for a lack thereof.

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

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

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.

I wanna say what I usually call it, but it's soooooooo not safe for the lounge. So, let's just pretend I said something witty and funny. :laugh:

: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.

So much easier to sneak up on unsuspecting pedestrians!

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.

Zackly. I preferred my sports bikes not to attract attention.

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. :)

That's not the owners' fault. The car is simply worn out after a long, hard day on the road. :)

In a word, yes. My building is situated right on a main road, in fact the only road that leads in and out of my town. I hear everything, police sirens, firetruck sirens, loud cars and loud motorcycles.
