I found this video to score quite well in the humor category.
...and always playing some stupid '70s radio crap.The thing that annoys me more then the loud exhaust is the idiots that ride around with a radio turned up so loud they rival a marching band.

Then here's plan B:But they don't know which direction the sound is coming from since your pipes point out the back.
Two types of motorcycle riders:
Those that like to ride motorcycles.
Those that like to be seen riding motorcycles.
I always found the hyped up looks of Harley riders entertaining when they're thinking a hotrod Harley was coming down the road was funny. Loved to see the look of dismay and utter disappointment when they saw my KTM RC8R with Akrapovic exhaust came thumping down the road. That thing was dangerously loud though, like helicopter loud. Would have to ride with earplugs for any long distance rides.
I was hiking in the Smokies 10+ years ago...the end of our hike was at Clingmans Dome. It was a brutal climb back up to the parking lot. It started raining on top of being sore and just wanting to be home. We knew we were near the end when we could hear the reverberating disruption of the peace and quiet, echoing through the trees and slopes. As others have mentioned the occasional stereo could be heard laced in with the exhaust.My bike is Honda quiet. Years ago a buddy and I were screaming op 221 towards Grandfather MTN on our sportbikes with aftermarket pipes. We came around a curve and a State Trooper was standing in the middle of the road. He was stopping traffic for a storage building being moved. He walked over to us and said, "Boys, I could hear you coming all the way up the mountain. You boys need to slow down." Since then, I run in stealth mode!
I thought the strobing headlights had been outlawed??

I made a teenager drop their phone once... made my day!
I shake my head every time I see this and say to myself, "How do you do this?"
Where is the video of what we really think when a motorcycle goes by?

I love me some loud pipes tho. It might be annoying to you cagers but getting run't over is an even bigger pet peeve of mine. I might be invisible dammit but they're gonna hear me coming.
That’s one stubby suppressor.Amen, just put this lil guy on mine!View attachment 164581

Part of the problem is where this happened. Hamilton Pool Road leads to Hamilton Pool, a few miles west of Austin Texas. Fair weather riders who have more money than sense.
Here's another classic WTH moment.
