I believe that pipes that are obnoxiously loud is rude and immature. It makes the person look bad and misrepresents the entire group he is taking part in. Loud is understandable but obnoxiously loud all the time is just plain retarded.
When I see a 42hp Harley-Davidson with their badass straight pipes I just roll my eyes. They have the same lb/hp ratio as a 1989 Honda Civic hatchback automatic and accelerate about as fast. If they ever made a dumptruck on two wheels it'd be a Harley.
Whenever I'm at a traffic light next to one and the guy thinks he's a hardass and blips the throttle (because he thinks he's resident badass, not because Harleys are engineered with an oiling problem) I ask him how he'd like to hear some open headers at 3500rpm in front of his house.
Usually without response, they try to out accelerate me with their 42hp badass bitchin' white knuckle ridin' yawnmobile to which they weave on takeoff because they don't know how to get a reasonable takeoff with two feet. By 35mph the noisey cricket has been outpaced, largely due to the shifting characteristics of a Ford 9N tractor. The Harley owner is trying like a nickel whore aiming for a thousand dollar tip but it just can't catch up with ugly truck 305 power. 70mph rolls around and I let off only to be greeted by a full throttle flyby of a grunting sow just like a ricer does. I wait for the hazards to come on just like Joe Ricer does when they think they are "victorious".
So, if you own a straight-piped Harley and tailgate so close I can get you wet with my windshield wiper solvent be prepared to be a victim. ( If a obnoxiously loud wannabe badass gets turned into red asphalt by someone and wants sympathy they can find it between sh¡t and syphilis. There's no reason for that kind of stupid.

Gee--that saying in your last paragraph brings tears to my eyes--My late father used to say that to me quite often!(the dictionary quote!) /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
