raesewell Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 My point was that good riding (advanced or not) trumps loud pipes where safety is concerned. Obviously!Glad you agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What the hell has Trump got to do with it? The man's an idiot. Loud I'll grant you, but that doesn't make him safe.That's the trouble with bikers, a lifetime of exhaust noise and their brains are frazzled.

Stu Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What's safer then - an advanced rider with loud pipes or an advanced rider with quiet pipes?! I think it depends. Those with "advanced" riding/driving qualifications who go just go about their business might see a benefit from louder pipes.Those with "advanced" qualifications who bang on about it ad nauseam are likely to get little benefit as other road users will see the all encompassing glow of their self righteous smugness from some considerable distance, thus rendering the loud pipes superfluous. And here's me thinking you would see their polite jacket first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
