I am currently having a dialog with the staff of Rider Magazine after reading an article called Quieting Down Dec.09.
I have voiced my opinion on loud pipes saving lives and it seems they think every one should go back to stock and bikes should be ticketed and fined when exceeding noise levels.
My point was when I had stock pipes, I have had people open car doors when parked on two lane roads and did not look before opening (almost taking me out.)
I had people change lanes on the high way and push me into the stones because they had the windows up...air blasting..and there favorite CD playing while on there cell phone.
After changing my pipes it was much better, now they know I'm coming with out looking.
I'm not trying to be an Hell's Angel, Friends of Anarchy or bad a$$ biker Dude, just a guy that likes to ride a motorcycle and doesn't want to get splattered on the side of a car or tree.
I was wondering what the people in the Cafe think.
