This one really cracked me up. It never ceases to amaze me how entertaining this forum can be. One thing I have learned over the years is to mellow out, especially in traffic. While there have been many good points raised on this thread (rider skill, louder horns), is it really necessary for name calling when one can simply (possibly even politely) decline signing the petition? With a big smile on my face, I'll continue to wave to everyone on the road, regardless of how loud/quiet their pipes may be. Ride safe and above all enjoy your precious life.

I ride with no helmet if I can, all my gears are black and not ATGATT.Its proven that helmet and hiviz gears will save life and will only annoy fashion police. Loud pipe don't save life and annoy most people around you.
Call it baiting, it is ironic.
Let me add that SS with loud pipes annoy me just the same.

One thing I noticed over the years is that wild life seems more aware of my bike than my car. I don't have a stupid loud pipe on my bike, but it's a lot louder than my car. Deer seem to be aware of me before I come out of the turn and don't run across the road..
NO straight pipes.

Harley F@Gs with their ridiculous loud bikes that jiggle their stomach fat around.

Probably the same ass clowns that just came through Erin. All that crap does is annoy everyone. I just start shaking my head every time I see a pack of them

Same scene just up Hwy 10 at Orangeville - groups of about 5 or 6 at a time, a couple with the ape hangers higher than their shoulders. It's always strange to see one SS 600 in tow at the end of the group and usually wearing a back pack And no, it's not a solo trying to pass them.
I had this petition request in mind at the time and was trying to be objective as I observed these groups and the traffic around them, both while I was riding a few cars away or off the bike and watching from the side lines. I don't think anything short of the landing gear from an Airbus kissing their front hood would wake up a lot of the vehicle drivers to anything coming from behind. Mind you, this is a total soccer mom town on Sundays. The sh*t I see from vans with mommy and a cellphone with some little kids on board . . .

if loud pipes saved lives there would be dead BMW and Goldwing riders everywhere
when has a Harley rider ever spent $1200 on safety equipment?
If loud pipes saved lives insurance companies would bump up the premiums on quiet bikes

Jamie has signed it, so now you know it's going in the right direction.
"Loud pipes saves lives. I know, because every time I buy a bone stock bike and almost die 10 times on the first few days, then install a nice muffler and voila, no almost death events for the next 3 years? lol. Coincidence? I think not."
I couldn't help laughing, of all the drama in Jamie's life that might endanger his life, I can't see loud pipes helping much; single vehicle crashes, illegal weapons, angry fathers ....

You want to get noticed, ride naked.
Loud pipes do not save lives, they are just for man children to gain attention and pretend to be badasses on their Hardley Movinsons.
