Extremely unpopular opinion: I hate loud exhausts


It's true, I hate racing exhausts and straight pipes on motorcycles. I hate loud exhausts. There, I said it.I hate it when I'm walking down the street, talking to someone walking right beside me, and we have to stop talking for an entire minute because some squid is speeding down the street, TWO BLOCKS AWAY. Because a 50kW machine really, REALLY need that extra 1kW it gets from a racing exhaust with no catalyzer.I hate it when a boomer is driving around a roundabout with a chopper with straight pipes, all chromed and shit, with his feet hanging both sides because he is afraid of dropping his bike at 20km/h. It screams "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, I'M A BIKER ON A BIKE", while destroying my eardrums and making a nuisance of themselves. POMPOMPOMPOM!!! like a fucking WWI tank.I hate it when people say "loud pipes saves lives", and then proceed to constantly invade both side of the road, lane filter beyond speed limits, jumping red lights because "muh superior acceleration", and ripping themselves apart when they crash against a street lamp (yes, this happened where I live, he ripped his leg off, instantly, with a round, smooth street lamp).I hate it when the druggies in my neighbourhood have their Yamaha TMAX with a free exhaust blast down my street, going three blocks away at full speed to "buy some bread". All the windows tremble, form the fucking shock-waves their cylinders exhaust port make.I hate it when motocross and dual-sports, with Akrapovich slip-on, of course, speed down (or up) a trail with a HUGE "no motor vehicles allowed except service vehicles" sign at the entrance. And they have the nerve of saying "I work here" with no ID or uniform, while jumping over bushes and through shallow rivers.I say all this, and I don't regret it. Hate me back if you want, disagree all you want, make your counterpoints. This is my opinion, you have yours. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/fvd3hf/extremely_unpopular_opinion_i_hate_loud_exhausts/?utm_source=ifttt
