see thats the thing about being a noob - you worry about what everyone else thinks;- after about 35yrs riding you dont give a s@#t and actually think for yourself and do things for your own pleasure. So yes you are bad bad for not folowing your own heart and worrying about what everyone else thinks - WHO CARES ... I dont even care, do what ever you want - is your name Paris ????
The bad part of that is after 35 years of riding I'd hope us older guys would see more of the big picture and realize REALLY loud exhausts p*ss off the public, which gets more laws and scrutiny put on us bikers, and in the end hurts everybody :
: But then after 35 years of riding I guess you could also figure, I'm old enough that I won't be around for the REAL crackdown from all the loud pipes, so I'll just finish out my riding career any damn way I like
BTW I've been riding 30 years....and I purposely picked up a yoshi system with the quiet insert left in, because yoshi's are some of the quietest systems out there, but still give good power
I like the sound, it gave a GREAT power gain above 5 grand, huge weight loss that makes the bike feel super nimble on its feet now, my wife will still ride with me because the sound levels reasonable, no dirty looks from the public, and the cops ignore me
But to each their own
I live out in the country...have been riding forever..and don't have to worry about strict rules coming down on me in my little area in my lifetime. So whatever the rest of you guys do is fine by me
But if I lived in places like florida, or any other congested areas, I'd def be concerned how my fellow bikers with the crazy loud pipes were affecting the laws conerning my rights to ride. You always affect more than yourself with what you do in society........I know I know, nobody wants to hear that....we all just want to do what we want when we want
Its really true...kids never grow up....we just get bigger
