I know a lot of that is dick swinging but I've definitely heard moto riders talk about using noisy exhausts as a warning in traffic. Then again I've had douchebags use it to try and intimidate me out of the way - little do they know how much motorsports I was brought up on. "I see your 600CC sport bike and raise you Top Fuel dragsters at Calder, bitch".

It's true mainly for pedestrians, if you are on a quiet bike they stare at you like a cow then step out.
Even worse in my car when it's running on electric. (virtue signalling, don't mention the Tax saving and the 228bhp)Have you ever had the conversation if a drunk City Boy runs out in front of you do you swerve in front, or behind? Or go straight for him reckoning he will run one way......and what do you say in court if he freezes?
Very much this. Why are you putting a "race" exhaust (or whatever it is) on your motorbike when you live in a crowded area? Then do deliveroo until last 11pm, constantly nipping home for a piss (I assume).
