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.
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

generally caused by an over abundance of testosterone.
>64 It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.
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.

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

I live out in the country, just outside a small town with plenty of those rednecks. Long stretch, rather even, repaved not that long ago, hardly any cop to be seen - so some people view it as a drag strip. It's not just bikers, but the kids with their rice-burners as well. It's one thing to hear these during the day, but when it's 2am you just wish them to crash and burn.

Well, if you just paid a lot of money for a toy, wouldn't you want to show it off to as many people as possible?
Yes, but I wouldn't want to annoy the hell out of them with it!
