I've been riding bikes since I was16.
I'm now nearly 60
There are not many bikes that I haven't ridden.
My first 'proper' bike had meggas, ultra loud.
My current bike has open Ackras
l'm not going to apologise for the noise my bikes may or may not make.
I'm perfectly ok with being branded 'anti-social', as since the 70's motorcycling as a whole has been considered ant social. Nothing has changed, with the exception that motorcycling is now being attacked from within.
Loud exhausts? I can't remember the last time I read about an accident being caused by a loud exhaust.
I know some will maybe say that it's MY mentality that is responsible for the incomming legislation. Ultimately, even if we were just riding 5hp silent electrocycles there would still be those that would see us legisltated off the road.
