Mr Cahuna, you have obviously not been paying attention.
It is not me who is being bothered, it is other people that are always ragging on loud-pipes-guys. For months. And months. They still do. Even though some have had a short vacation for it. It still lingers. I have not been one of those people. Perhaps you remember something about that...maybe not. If you have missed it all, perhaps you should put the pipe down and review.
Still, I agree with part of what you said. "It's refereed to as freedom of choice. We are not a society where everyone has to conform to one image for anyone. If you like dull clothes it's your right to wear them. If you like quiet bikes, buy one.If chrome annoys you, don't have any."
Exactly. Yet there are those that still can't seem to get it. Leather, chrome, and pipes on HDs is the worst thing in the world, yet overkill of all other types completely escapes their attention.
The goal here is to understand some of the differences in why the leather/chrome/pipes on the one hand, or (name your overkill for any other type motorcycle) for other preeners. Why do they do it? What's their reason/excuse? Are there reasons that mitigate their sin or not?
