People hate you because you drive even more like a reckless moron weaving in between traffic and straddling lane lines.

Half the bikes need to be ticketed for violating noise levels.

Lets not forget hardcore criminal biker gangs, waiting to be triggered by anything they consider “disrespect”, and gangs of idiots racing each other thinking the road is their personal racetrack or where they can practice their trick driving.

I ride a Honda Gold Wing with my wife on the back, both wearing helmets, and using a bluetooth communications device.

I ride mainly either solo or with my CMA chapter, which consists of a variety of bike makes/models.

MOST bikers are polite and friendly, and ride conservatively. You just never hear about us because we don't make the news.

Good grief man. Maybe you need to start riding.

You obviously have issues... You must be Metmoms significant other.

I figure that the reason some people need a loud exhaust is they need the noise to fill that empty canyon between their ears.

I always felt the noise from a bike was for safety. It lets the other motorists know that there is a motorcycle around. Probably prevents a lot of accidents.

When more electric bikes are on the road, it will be interesting to see if accidents increase, because motorists will not be aware of a motorcycle around them.

Motorcycles can easily get in a driver's blind spot, even when they are riding safely.
