Noisy Motorcycles

Yesterday, I was passed by two “gentlemen” riding on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. As I had my window down enjoying the summer breeze, I was subjected to a mind-numbing volume. Not only did this scare the daylights out of me, but it left my ears ringing for an hour afterward.

What I don’t understand is why it is illegal for me to drive around in my car with no muffler, when it seems perfectly all right for Harleys to be straight-piped?

I have been awoken numerous times by these “pipes saving lives” and am quite frankly sick of the lack of consideration. I personally cast my vote for the police to crack down on such noise.
