Really? I'm defending them, but I don't ride around in low gear and high revs..
To put things in perspective, I could ride around alllllll day in second gear at 9k rpms and still be riding my bike the way it was meant to be ridden, i.e., a normal fashion...

Then you should be well aware, by now, that the nature of the aircraft noise in Brampton is something that you can get used to. You can even get used to it if you live along Derry Road and Mavis Road, in Mississauga, which is a posted flight zone area. The nature of noise, from circling motorcycles, is much different.
But then again, I'm finding that many people in this city are far from courteous. Far from it being the sportbike riders at 3:00am, my most serious issues are the neighbours on one side, who pound up and down the stairs at 6:00am on weekends, and the 16 year old Australopithecus throwback who leaves homemade crack pipes in my yard on the other. By comparison the sportbikers, doing laps, are a mere annoyance.

While I do agree with you to some extent... You become habituated to the airplanes after exposure to them, just like you would become habituated to the sound of ss.... I really don't think out has much to do with the nature of the sound as it does with the amount of exposure.... That said, I live near bovaird, which has become a regular drag strip... I can hear the bikes, and cars ripping up and down there alllllll day long.. IF, I am actually paying attention to it....
As for the neighbours... I feel for ya on that one....

Fully agree with you ...
I live by the GARDNER (Harbourfront) and I hear these inconsiderate riders revving the pistons out of their SS bikes.. That's before they pull wheelies infront of the cagers.. Almost makes you embarrassed tell your neighbors that you're a motorcyclist.
Here is the real reason for loud pipes..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt-ytACeVM0

People around Cayuga became habituated to the drag strip, but not to the road course. Similar issue.
I'll take the sympathy because, even though he trashed a vacant unit, Australopithecus wasn't put out by the landlords.

Funny enough, I was out doing some work in the garage last night, around 9pm... Running off some new pegs on the lathe... Landlords nutbag wife comes down screaming and yelling about all the noise.... Ummm, no noise whatsoever..... This morning at 8am, he kid was up doing construction upstairs and she was, as usual, yelling her friggin head off..... no consideration for my trying to sleep... and this is a regular occurrence, so yeah, I feel for ya.

I live the exact area right off sandlewood like the op..........its not that bad. I've been here for over 11 years. Most of the exhausts you hear are from souped up tuner cars. I often mistake them for motorcycles. They used to race a lot up kennedy and hwy 10.
Get over it. The cruisers with straight pipes are much more of a nusiance around here.

That's the most exasperating part of the issue. People just absolutely, positively refuse to believe that they are part of the problem.
It must be X or Y or Z, but it couldn't be sport bikes oh no, aftermarket exhausts on sport bikes just couldn't disturb the neighbors.
Come on, get over it. Your bikes are disturbing people. Time to deal with the problem, and come up with an equitable solution, before an inequitable one is forced upon you.

Well, I did re-read your post and at no point did I see the nuisance comment referred to as a "perception". If that's what you meant then I'll leave that part alone.
We can go round and round regarding the collective thing and whether or not I am lumped into a group by default. I didn't buy a motorcycle to be part of a scene, group or any other reason other than I love motorcycles. My reasons were selfish and my own. As far as altering the behaviour of others, I find the thought as distasteful as the idea that others would act to alter my behaviour.
And truly? My original post was really aimed at a frequent poster whose ideology is far removed from my own. My original comments were really meant for him. I'm sure he would appreciate someone coming to his defense once in while as there are no statistics that I know of to support any of this. One side say's "Bikes are too loud! Let's be rid of them all!!". Some on the other side see it differently. There is room for both arguments as long as the entire motorcycling community aren't lumped together and perceived merely as a nuisance. I simply see the Caledon reaction as part of a growing trend. And yes it has to do with rights and free will and many other things. Far to complicated to discuss here though. It also has little to do with loud exhausts.

If you give people the power to ban something because they find it annoying, where does it end?
It doesn't. That's the whole point of coming up with an equitable solution before it happens.
I'm thinking that in the not to distant future, many people will be running back to the manufacturers to re-buy stock exhausts, once the aftermarket ones have been permanently banned. After that enforcement will just consist of looking at the exhaust to see if it is original or not, and the fines will be higher.

people have the power when the majority wants something, the thing is giving them the reason by acting annoying.

That's great. I apologize to you. Kudos.
It doesn't matter if that is how your bike is meant to be ridden. If someone needs to drive their high performance veh in a Loud fashion then take it to the track. I have seen plenty Ferraris driving around that I'm just hoping to hear the sweet sound of it at WOT but they almost never do (and for good reason)
...but then some D-Bag in an R6 cruises by at 10,000rpm in low gear....why? (beacuse it redlines at 15k) There's no need to be up that high!!! Shift!
SHIFT THE BIKE! SHIFT IT!

It might interest you to know that riding your bike around in a high gear at low rpms, lugging, is BAD for your bike... Riding around at 10k rpms is perfectly acceptable, because, as I said, that's what the bikes are meant to do.... So, yes, there is a reason to be up that high.... I am not quite sure what part of that you are not getting....
Just because you are driving/riding a high performance vehicle in a loud fashion does not mean you are driving/riding it in an unacceptable manner....
Why is it that the person on the R6 is a *********, but the person in the Ferrari is not?

There's an in-between spot between the "lugging" and the High rev howling. It's not that difficult.
"Acceptable" to you maybe....but incosiderate to others. Bikes are meant to do many things....not all are "acceptable" on the road.
No. You still haven't given me a reason for being up that high in the revs when driving around on the street. ...or atleast a reason that makes it neccesary.
Again....it may not be unacceptable to you.
Cause in my scenario, the Ferrari isn't being loud, and isn't keeping the car in a low gear. The ferrari is being curteous and careful.
