Guys if you'll allow me I'll give you a Real Life Experience.
A few years ago a friend and fellow Dirt Bike Rider were traveling I 30. He was driving and I was passenger.
A LOUD motorcycle (or 2 ?? ) passed us. He retorted....
"Loud Motorcycles Saves Lives... B S "
I said to him,.... " Your heard him coming. "
He said,.... " Good Point "
jwall Did you ask him if he could tell exactly where the motorcycle was? Did you ask him if the sound of the motorcycle prevented him from changing lanes without looking?

I was waiting for my wife to do some shopping when a porch ape in a blinged-out Escalade with 24" wheels and gold trim parked close by with his rap rattling windows. I put in a CD of Slim Whitman yodeling, rolled down all the windows, and maxed out the volume. It took him less than 5 minutes to find a different place to park.
What is things I have only fantasized of doing Alex?

Find that almost all police officers turn their deaf ear to loud motorcycles but will quickly enforce exhaust laws on other vehicles. No they don't always enforce the laws equally. 50% of the immediate officers that I worked with were motorcycle riders. Officers that drank excessively also made few to none intoxicated driving arrest. Always found the above very interesting. GW

Around here, the Earl Thomas Conley coming out of their speakers is louder than their pipes.

Unless he does, he doesn't need to hear the motorcycle.

Not being smart.
That's irrelevant in this discussion. But no he's not, I've known him since 2000 and he hasn't had an accident.
The point I and some are making is: a loud motorcycle will get people's attention BEFORE they're beside them.
Some people don't want to get the point.

There is a formula...I can't find it right now.... as decibel level increases, IQ level decreases, inversely proportional. Does not apply to logging, mining and construction equipment.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
