Loud Pipes Save Lives
I have been reading and hearing a lot lately about people who are saying that loud motorcycle pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for motorcycle pipes. Seeing as motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the traffic on the road, I would say this problem is very minimal at best.I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are motorcycles.

These people complain saying motorcycle riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say, “Hey, look at me!” and draw attention to themselves. The reason many bikers like loud pipes is not to say, “Look at me,” it’s to say, “Look out for me!” Many car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting, putting on makeup, eating, playing loud music, watching DVDs and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If you’re in a car and you get hit, you may get a dent in your car, bikers can and do die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe.)
These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy, if they ask people while they are sitting around bored all summer-long, “Have you ever heard a loud motorcycle go by?” They are going to say, “Yes they have!” These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board! But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud motorcycle go by? They will probably hard-pressed to find an answer. Was it weeks ago, months ago, was it two years ago?
There are already laws on the books in every state that say a motorcycles pipes can only be so loud. We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse.
