Why are motorcycles so loud (especially choppers)? Isn’t there anything can be done with their mufflers?
In: Engineering
I drive a motorcycle and I think it’s because most motorcycle drivers believe that being loud means that you’re going to have higher chances of people hearing you before they can see you. Honestly I think it’s a bunch of BS. I see loud bikes as a huge distraction for the rider. I want and need to hear other things around me like horns, sirens, ECT and don’t want my own bike to drown out those warning sounds that could save or end my life. I need to be aware of everything and everyone around me. If I can’t hear sirens behind me or a persons horn possibly warning me of a road hazard they’d be screwed because their bikes were so loud.
