No argument. When you ride the best approach is to consider your fellow
motorists to be utter assholes who, if not outright homicidal, do not
see or hear bikes.

Loud pipes have one good use. When you're stopped at a light next to
some soccer mom yapping on her cell phone revving it up to 5000 rpm
might ruin her conversation for a bit.



Don't forget the special benefit the hundreds of people within a few
hundred yards of the motorcycle's path get, when they are awakened when
the bike goes by as they sleep.
