  • I got woken up by some scroat riding about on something devoid of any sort of silencer.
    Did 2 laps of the roundabout you can see from my bedroom window and tore off down the road to another roundabout, then came back. Repeated this for 20mins.

    I don't necessarily object to loud pipes (legally loud or borderline), but this was offensive to the extreme, plus it's a residential area and 3am.
    I don't wish harm but it'd be nice if his engine detonated unexpectedly.

  • loud pipes

    Maybe manufacturers should be banned from making non-silenced exhausts except for shorty underslung exhausts that sit directly under the rider’s ears.

    On trend with the topic and thread, I hate people touting the phrase “loud exhausts save lives”. A bit of a rev is a practical way of alerting drivers, and ideally with a reasonable exhaust. But you know the reality is every one of these cunts that rolls out that saying is just a dickhead with the baffle removed.

  • A friend of mine has just had a louder exhaust fitted to his Harley under the pretense of making it safer. I did raise an eyebrow when he told me. Surely the original would have been loud enough?
