2000 Leagues was Great when it came out at the theatre. Also one of the best stories ever.
Because they are as big as some of the cars on the roadIf loud pipes save lives. Then quiet bikes should be killers. Show me the numbers. Why are Wings and quiet little dual sports not in a lot more collisions?
Visual conspicuity saves lives.
In an urban area all the sound is going to do it tell you there's a bike nearby -- it's going to be near impossible to tell where it's coming from unless you see it -- sound is bouncing in all directions. A more effective life saver would be a a big speaker playing something like this:To be fair, he did state urban environment. Even with the sound rebounding off the buildings it does alert everyone to an approaching bike to the area. Outside of that i agree, most situations it's pointless.

I saw a squidly R1 with GP exhaust on Canada Day. Full face helmet but no other gear (standard outfit of t-shirt and shorts, no gloves, crap shoes, etc). I was near him for two blocks. During that distance he revved the crap out of it more than a dozen times while not in gear (didn't hit the limiter but a solid burp). Idjut. It did sound good, but for every person that was happy about the sound, there are probably 100 that were annoyed.Claims loud pipes is for his own protection.
Wears a pirate vest and beanie that barely covers the bald spot on the top of his head.
ok.
No, lets talks about what kind of oil 'saves engines'Further:
IF loud pipes saved lives, then Honda is negligent selling us bikes without this "safety" equipment.
Try suing Honda.
Get back to us with how it turns out.
Now do we want to discuss AGATT?
On that note, other than the disastrous hyo engines, who remembers an engine that died because of oil issues (assuming it was regularly changed with something designed for an engine)?No, lets talks about what kind of oil 'saves engines'

amen!BTW- I wear ATGATT, even if its sunny and 38.. lol
Nice try, average car driver doesn't see the motorcycle in the first place.You know what the average car drivers brain sees when it sees a motorcycle?
If it was just the annoying drone on the highway I would reasonably agree with you. The problem is their incessant need to needlessly rev bomb everybody through town. The installation of a prick exhaust and the need to rev bomb are closely correlated. That crap needs to stop, it does nothing for safety and pisses everybody off.If something simple can save their life despite their transgression...why not?
