Doesn't matter if they do, it's my right to be as loud as I want.

Well, they may be loud, but car stereos are too, so that makes it ok.

I voted yes too. I watch people two cars up in traffic (at lights) looking around to see whee the noise is coming from. Happens a lot. I just don't think it is coincidental.

Maybe. Fact is, if "Homey" gets hit, he files an insurance claim. if I get hit, all I get is dead. I guess for me, THAT is the difference. My pipes also do not use the words Ho, Bitch, Fck, ****, Pu$$y, (N word) etc.... But other than that, loud pipes and loud music are exactly the same, right.

You are correct, in that they are both noise disturbances, and there are laws against both !!

I have NP with loud pipes. My gripe is with guys that sit at traffic lights and blip the throttle constantly, just to make sure that everybody around them knows that there is a bad *** biker in the area.

I don't "blip." That annoys me too.
