Are Loud Motorcycle Pipes Really that Big of a Problem?

American Biker X Editorial Columns
I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.
Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road, I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles?)
These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off. and They think that loud pipes are a way for us to say "Hey look at me and draw attention to ourselves".
The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching DVDs and just not paying attention. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, we could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe).
These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy. If they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored, "Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle go by?" The responce will be "Yes I Have!" These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!
Ask these same people Exactly when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? Two years ago?
There are already laws on the books that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud. We do not need new laws on the books. We already have plenty of laws which the police either do not enforce or abuse.
There are a lot of people in the Country spending too much time whining! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles in a positive way. Motorcycles lessen traffic. They prevent wear and tear on the roads. They are great for saving Fuel. They pollute less. They are also a great way to relax! Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed and there for tend not to whine as much.
Wouldn't it be great if people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went out and rode one? They might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!
Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !
