Harley riders make noise for another reason....Loud Pipes Saves Lives.

I agree for some this is their motivation but for the majority it's just the idea that they can make noise.

Yes, yes. So does defensive riding, the method I've always used. The real slogan is "Loud Pipes Make Noise." Or "Loud Pipes Annoy Idiots."

Every Harley is delivered from the factory with mufflers that quiet them to tolerable levels.

Yep.
I also noticed that when I switched from custom to stock dressers people could suddenly see me. A flashy chopper with bright paint and chrome was seemingly invisible – but a stock black dresser (I wore a white half shell helmet) that strongly resembled a cop bike was readily seen.

Total BS - loud pipes save lives my butt, good defensive driving does.

I ride a Harley V-Rod and you can't even hear the exhaust.

Gee, I'll fall back to sleep much quicker knowing the inconsiderate rider is safer. If the biker wants to be safer then he should drive a car. Only Harley's and dirt bikes are too loud.
