I'm not saying I like the noise just the warning that it gives i don't know how it is by you but here I regularly see bikers doing 70 in 50-55mph areas that want to zip in between cars with barely a 20 foot gap. Freeways are even worse because you rarely see them going under 90 mph and the exhaust is all the warning you get that they're going to be right next to you in 0.974 seconds. And the morons who ride without helmets are the worst offenders it's like they have a death wish or something.

I've got nothing against motorcyclists as long as you follow the same traffic rules as everyone else. Just because you're smaller and faster doesn't mean you're above the law. Heck, I don't care if you have a silent exhaust and use a siren instead I just want to be warned that you're coming.
