You think it could fire golf ***** if I threw them in there while riding in traffic?

I think if you're going to pick a noise that other motorist notice then we should all have continuously screaching brakes. Everyone notices that noise

Ok I will confess! I have loud pipes! Why, because I like things that make noise! Bikes, cars, Guns, cannons, explosives, etc. How many guys do you know who own hot rods, old muscle cars and the like would you expect to walk into a parts store and say "Dude, I just got me a 1970 hemi cuda and I'm looking for some really quiet mufflers for it"?

I always took the statement "Loud pipes save lives" as a bit of a joke towards those who poo poo loud pipes. Unless there are facts to support this claim it only further weakens the position of those who wish to have the right to louder exhaust. When in residential areas, don't get on it and you'll be left alone. Do I think that it is reasonable that a loud bike will get noticed more than a quiet one? Yes I do. Unless of course the observer is deaf!

I'd love forward firing on the bike. I did buy plastic genades to drop through ******** windows when I lived in the city. They seemed to get the point!

My pipes are loud. I don't think they save my life. I just like the way they sound. Paying attention and looking for trouble is probably what saves my hide.

But there is one thing I do know: quiet motorcycles are gay.

Goldwings must be the most dangerous bike out there.

There's no arguing with that. Just wanting to own one is dangerous!

What? I can't hear you! Screeeeeeeech, bang, thud --

"WFT did you just hit, Mabel?"

"Oh dear, just a honda! Too bad he didn't have louder pipes, I might've noticed him."
