I used to think the same thing, but then I met my husband who rides, and now I do too. The way he explained it to me is that you need people to hear you, they may not always see you, you at least get a second chance to not get ran over if they can hear you.
There are few things I hate more than unnecessarily loud bikes. I could care less what the justification might be. Most people hate this shit, and nobody is impressed.
Eh as a classic car owner I do like having my car noisy and obnoxious but on the other hand I also like being able to have a conversation with my passenger while on the highway at the same time I've also been to concerts that are so loud that I can feel my bones vibrating to the point that even I a loud car owner feels like I'm about to pass out from having every part of me shaken so violently so I guess there must be some connection between edm concert fans and car guys that lead to people having stupid loud exhausts
The Little Dick Boogie, Nobody Loves Me Anymore and I'll Fuck My Bike Before I'd Fuck You (But Thats Only Because I'm Sexually Attracted To My Motorbike And Not To You)
I listen to Harley Davidson, regardless of whether I’d like to or not.
And their owners make extra sure of it.
That's not the gif I expected...
That is some 10/10 South Park. For those who don't know, it's called The F Word.
Just came up 45min ago too
Absolute classic outta Oakland California
Not mine.
That’s only in the mornin’
My god is that an actual saying? Your average motorbike is more than loud enough as it is!
Name three songs!!!
Potato Potato, Where's That Oil Coming From, In the Back of the Pickup Again
Those are my favorites. I'm also a fan of Why is the Battery Dead Again (I did something stupid remix) and Filtering at 80.
The classic Garage Queen (Live to Ride) brings a tear to my eye, and Shiny Side Up! is always a crowd favorite.
Well my favorite is tttrpprprprptprtprprtpTRTtPPpTTrTtRpPpPpPpPpPppPP
The Lou Reed cover of that is also a classic.
They all sound the same tbh
Just leaving this here

And he lied.
If "loud pipes save lives" was actually true, they'd point them forwards.
As someone who uses a HPV Bike for commute, a bit of noise definitely makes it easier to get others to give way.
there's a difference between being heard and
#BEING FUCKING HEARD
you don't need the latter to stay alive.

I listen to Harley Davidson whether I want to or not since everyone who plays him does so at maximum volume.
Just like Subaru wrx! Except those always come with the acoustics of a lawnmower and a bag of pop corn...
I don't get how loud pops are desirable or even good. I once heard a 2k generator make those noises and the muffler literally exploded shortly after.

I get the rumbly engines, those are kinda cool, I'm just confused at the engines that go VROOOM POP POP POP like a fucking string of firecrackers.
Fun fact 90% of all Harley's are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.
Really, you're a Harley Davidson fan? Name three of his songs.
Brrrp brrrp bbbbb
The Little Dick Boogie, Nobody Loves Me Anymore and I'll Fuck My Bike Before I'd Fuck You (But Thats Only Because I'm Sexually Attracted To My Motorbike And Not To You)
You forgot "I'm an overgrown manchild who thinks making loud noises is appreciated by the population at large"
Nah thats covered in the first song.
Nobody wants to listen to this. Spread the word, please.
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man can sing

That would be so utterly cringy if that was a true statement made.
Hell yeah someone mentioning Harley Poe out in the wild
Of course I listen to that son of a bitch.
https://youtu.be/s3Z2MlJLd24
Her, surely?
Harley, son of David.
