Yeah, there's that one-way flawed logic again...

I see nothing about all bikers being jerks, just Vinnie. From what I read, Vinnie is a jerk. You have to consider others. It's people like Vinnie that f( ck it up for all of us

A few weeks ago Momma and I we riding down a 4 lane highway. The kind were the speed limit is 55 but they still have stop lights. Just as we pull away from a stop light two other bikes blow by in the left lane pulling hard. I assume they had open drag pipes because the noise was actually painful. It literaly hurt our ears. This while we were accelerating on our bike with the Thunderheader!
This is the kind of thing that will ruin it for all of us!

I understand your concern... but if I may ask, because I'm not sure, what will "it" ruin "for the rest of us"? If you want them to be quiet and you want to be quiet and if laws are put in place to make everyone quiet what will be ruined?

So... if these people didn't rev their bikes and their pipes were not loud then there wouldn't be "crackdowns" but we could still have loud pipes? Or if we don't have loud pipes then there is no reason to be concerned about a crackdown? What am I missing here?
