As someone who’d. Didnt have a loud bike. … I’ve almost been killed of many times by people who didnt see or hear me and who switched lanes or pulled out in front of me.

Loud pipes do save lives and no amount of bullshit research about one particular scenario that doesnt factor in everything else will change that.

If you think you cant hear loud pipes if you are in front of or beside a motercycle then your an idiot who probably doesnt even ride.

But dont ride anymore and if you do and you want to cruise quietly then you do you.
