Actually, there is a school of thought that Loud Pipes Save Lives for motorcycle riders. (Nearly) silent bikes can be deadly as drivers DO NOT check their mirrors when changing lanes, etc. and more than once I revved my bike when I saw a driver getting 'twitchy' as some do right before changing lanes. I don't have a bike anymore, but when I did it wasn't blaring but it wasn't quiet either. Also, cars changing to use daytime running lights made it less safe for motorcycles which use to stand out more when they were the only ones that ran their headlights at all times.
