Like that loud exhaust? You need locking up you psychopath!

Weirdly, they don't seem to factor noise in to safety scores. But gotta have those reversing cameras and lane assist!
You'd think one of the biggest warnings pedestrians would get is to head it coming.

Maybe, maybe not, but on a bike it does make other drivers aware of you, which is no bad thing imo.

all I'm going to say is that I buy socks in 3s..
My old wrx was brutally loud, letterbox on the front door would shake when it was sparked up on a monday morning.

I was aware of a guy walking down the street when I was working in Bury the other week as he was shouting randomly and punching himself in the head. Attention isn't always a good thing.
The loud exhaust for "safety" argument is pretty hilarious though. What is the justification for the obsession many bikers have of constantly blipping the throttle while waiting at the lights?

Can't be as bad as some of the TVRs were. It was like a heard of elephants going by.
Though they sound awesome. Far better than a V6 or V8 you can buy today

I imagine people with such thing also talk very loudly and want to be the center of attention much of the time. Not someone I would want to spend much time engaging with.
I’ve no idea, I’ve never done it.
As a biker I’d rather other drivers be aware of my presence on the road than not.
As a pedestrian, motorist and cyclist so would I. Maybe we should all have a 130 dB siren to accompany our movements?
Wait a second, my one can't be heard over the leather clad pest with a straight pipe so I'll make mine 140 dB...

Stealth mode > loud mode.
There's definitely a certain amusement in watching pedestrians **** themselves when walking down narrow lanes, only to turn round and see a car which has "suddenly appeared" with virtually no sound a couple of metres behind them
I guess the fact I find it amusing makes me a psychopath as well
