    If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.

      It’s explicitly the opposite, scientifically, according to my safety class

      The deep rumble being loud overwhelms anyone’s ability to properly locate the bike quickly, and they demonstrated this live. It’s definitely harder to locate a LOUDER bike

      I used to ride. People who say that know it’s just a bullshit excuse to be a dick. Just roll your eyes and/or flip them the bird. Actually, most of them get off on you flipping them the bird, because they’re dicks 🤷
