I'm gonna put louder pipes on just for this thread full of fucktards.
LOLOL, now we know what you look like.
No, he's not saying that. He's saying that crotch rocket guys don't annoy the shit out of him while he's trying to take a nap inside his house. My neighbor across the street has a Harley with open pipes that is so loud I can hear it idling in his driveway from anywhere inside my house with all the windows and doors shut. I like the guy but it must be so tiring to ride that bike or to even ride near him.
I didn't get past his hand wave complaint so I don't know what else he said.
I move to the side when I am driving for lane splitting bikes as well, except that I prefer they keep both hands occupied with the control of their bike rather than acknowledging my incredible sacrifice of moving over in my lane a foot.

Loud noise causes stress, and lots of it. I tried some fairly loud pipes on my bike once, after half an hour I was looking for a cliff to drive off. I like a little rumble, but loud sucks.
You can keep begging MJinZ, but it's not going to get your anywhere. I'm not into tiny metrosexual Asian men with 2" peckers.
You're more into fat hairy American men with tattoos covering 90% of their bodies?
I live in Milwaukee and I've grown to hate harley riders in particular as well, particularly this year. Truthfully I have nothing against Harleys, other than they are waaaaaaay overpriced for what they are, but the people that own them are indeed mostly douche bags. I laugh that every single one of them (and there are a ton around here) has to put on a Harley shirt to ride their bike. It wasn't enough that they overpaid for their bike, so they had to overpay for a t-shirt that Harley charges $35+ for. They all gotta rev at stop lights and then take off full throttle and rip thru the first 2 or 3 gears. They're not even fast so I've yet to figure out why they do this other than to be an annoying asshole.
Just last night I went a local festival so naturally there's a bunch of Harley's there. I'm coming up the street past it, speed limit is only 25mph in the first place, and with all the traffic and people I'm doing about 10-15mph. I stop to wait for this dumbass trying to back his bike into a spot next to some other bikes. After he pulled back forward 3 times and was sticking a few feet into the road I finally just went around him and got the complimentary "Asshole!". Dude, you can't park a fucking motorcycle, really?
About 10 years back I had a 97 TA that was pretty loud, LTH, flowmasters, etc that was a second car to play around with. I got pulled over leaving a place I met up with some friends for loud exhaust. Now the car was loud, but I wasn't hammering on it, and the 10+ Harleys that drove by while I was getting a ticket were way louder. The cop even had to stop talking when some of them went by. Being Milwaukee though you get some sort of diplomatic immunity for riding a Harley it seems.
Granted their are some dumbasses on sport bikes, but around here at least they're way outnumbered by Harley riders in general, and even then their dumbass index isn't as high.
You're talking about Harley soldiers, or hankie heads, and I have to agree with you. The Harley "life style" is a cruel joke, but it's brilliant marketing. To be honest though, I see the same thing happening in in other areas. Around here lots of guy's but 3k bicycles and $500 spandex shorts with orange and yellow designs on them and ride around looking like circus clowns on acid. It's scary.

The 40 year old poser on his too loud Harley doesn't really bother me. Around here you get the punk ass 20 year olds on crotch rockets who look behind them to see if you're watching how cool they are, then they pop a wheelie and break all kinds of traffic laws. The high pitched scream of their wide open throttle is infinitely more annoying to me than a fat ass Harley rider putting by.
I got stuck behind a bike with straight pipes in a single lane construction zone for about 20 miles one time. It was surprisingly draining.

Loud pipes don't save lives either... they don't hear you coming... only going. Perhaps those with loud pipes should actually learn how to ride their bike... That would be a lot safer than loud pipes.
