    i don't understand why people put those loud **** "**** can" mufflers on their POS cars. are they trying to draw attention to the fact they have **** cars?

    i think people who drive cars/motorcycles that loud have some form of adult ADD.

    Those **** can mufflers on rice rockets crack me up. The dipstick driving them thinks he's bad revving it up but it just sounds so laughable.

    I also hate those Harleys that are so loud they vibrate your windows when they drive passed.

    Just get a couple playing cards, and tape them so they hit the spokes. Old school style.

    those are the poeple that can only get jobs at mcdonald`s..

    why would you try to kill somebody with your car..?

    because they have loud pipes ?

    It`s better to be heard and seen, than quietly run off the road by some peanut head on a cell phone that`s not paying attention.


    of course here in California there is way too much traffic, and it`s legal to lane share (split lanes...go between cars)...

    when I roll into small towns I know how to make the pipes quiet, so as not to attract attention , or desturd the town folk...

    noisey is not cool, but loud pipes when ya need em is...IMHO

    I'm no fan of loud pipes, but a manly sounding bike gets respect. I mean, just cuz it's loud doesn't mean it sounds good. My lawnmower is loud. But it sounds like ****. My bike is no louder than most, but it idles like a purring kitty, and revs like a mean dog.

    Yea it would make a good bike to ride to work everyday cause of the emissions and fuel consumption but the silence kind of scares me. I ride my bike to work and unless you are swerving around people simply don't see you.


    Sweet car and I love the Polk install but a little too riced for me :p

    It doesn't matter if you are wearing a white helmet and safety vest thing if they don't look over or behind them at all... Visuals help but being able to hear someone behind or beside you is just a little added safety. (eg. if you are in their blindspot they will still know you are there... unless they have some polks in their car then hearing bikes it outta the question ;) )
