Living just next to a major roadway is a pain in the ears and reduces my quality of life. The vast majority of bikes with a modified exhaust should be set on fire and left to burn to the ground. When the weather is good for riding I hate trying to watch TV because the sound system gets overwhelmed by the racket of the Hey Look at Me Crowd.
Loud exhaust.............been there done that so I am not innocent in the least. However I did not subject the world to noise for long. Noise is fatiguing, damages your hearing and just plain rude.

On the flip side of the noise debate. Why is it that some folks will buy a home next to an airport or drag strip and then bitch about the noise?? Hmmm, sounds like me doesn't it. DOH !!

Back in the day I ran a small block Chevy V-8 with open headers through a tunnel at full throttle. Quite a rush. Was on the way to a muffler shop to get new mufflers welded on after the header install.

I still kinda like exhaust that rattles the windows. Glad I didn't live next to "That Guy" when my kids were young.
