Freedom becomes restricted when it clashes with other peoples freedom. Like the freedom to live undisturbed in their very own homes. Wanna an example? Try to utilize your freedom to use a freeway unrestricted, drive on the left side ... painful?

I'm gonna enjoy my loud pipes as long as this is a free country, but will not intentionally rev it or scream through residential areas just cause I think it's cool.
mine is not even that loud, but i stop in front of my neighbor's house and crank on it every time i leave and return! he loves it

Funny thing about neighbors and loud pipes... My neighbor was complaining about my bikes, then about a month ago, their relative moved in on the other side of them and they have a newer 1200C that i'll bet is twice as loud as mine... I havent heard any complaints since.

If it's too loud, you're too old?
