I think the discussion merits are between obnoxious and ear-splitting or "liveable with discression". No one is saying to run stock nor wants to, and mine is anything BUT quiet, save for the neighborhoods and stoplights.
I've not heard a straight pipe I considered decent or for that matter, any stocker either.
I don't think riding acceptable, middle ground qualifies us as "lemmings" or any other wimpy nickname you want to throw out on the internet.

I don't think running any pipe, straight or otherwise that isn't illegal in the area it's being ran in needs your or anyone else's stamp of approval as "decent."

FYI, your definition of "obnoxious", "ear-splitting", "acceptable" and "middle ground" is just that. Yours. Mine, and anyone else's definition is just as valid as yours. Different, but valid.

If I ride past the LEO and he doesn't stop me, it's none of your or anyone else's business. You're not in this world to make me happy, and your personal happiness isn't on my priority list.

We have a difference of opinion...

And now that we know we can cross each other off our Christmas lists....you think my opinion qualifies an "asshat" from you, but you get your panties in a wad over "lemmings"...?

You should either develop a sense of humor, or stop taking yourself so damn seriously, either option would be an improvement.

Otherwise, we just have another difference of opinion, don't we?

When YOUR 'happiness' causes MINE to be taken away, you become an asshat.

I don't 'follow' any crowd, but don't ruin it for others, either.

My LEO friends have bikes as loud as mine, and have the same concerns about legislations against them.
It's a lot more than just a difference of opinion when YOU affect the rest of us.

It's all about "Look at me!". I have extremely loud pipes so that you will "Look at me!". "Me, me, me".

Very childish.

traveler....as I said, if the LEO has a problem, he can let me know. Hasn't happened yet since 1969.

I'm not going around calling the police when I see a guy running straight pipes.

I don't get upset at jaywalkers, kids skateboarding where the signs say they can't, or other desperados either.
