[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1174323, member: 16962"] Is it not fair because it holds some truth or because your Harley has stock pipes? Don't misunderstand my intent, which is the silly "loud pipes" excuse because if that was true every vehicle would be safer with an open/loud exhaust. Also don't mistake that the bikes I refer to are ridden on public streets and not a track situation which is completly different. It has also been my experience that not only the guys I work with have a self esteem issue but 99% of the other persons I have met that have a loud street exhaust also exhibit some need for attention. I guess also it's not so much seeing a HD at a head shrinkers office as it is them realizing perhaps they have an issue and might need to see one. IMHO most are so self absorbed that it would never cross their mind. :laugh: Riding is for sure a great thing and helps release stress but I believe it should be done in a responsible manner. There are plenty of other idiots on bikes as well doing stunts and riding in an unsafe manner who I do not appriciate either. Let's also not have any misunderstanding that my personal bike is not stealth. A stock XR250 is very quiet and I honestly wouldn't mind having that level of sound if I could maintain the same level of performance it has but, my bike was built/modified for a specific type of riding and the engine Rich built me needs a different exhaust. The exhaust was custom made by Thunder Alley and is louder than stock no doubt but when Bob gave me the option to send in the tail section for an updated "quiet core" I jumped on it! It has made no difference in my calibrated seat of the pants testing and he assured me it meets the Cali dB requirements for off road riding on public lands even with my modified engine. I also happened to insist on any exhaust I installed having a Kritzman spark arrestor which the TA system did from day one. Why? Responsible fun. I shouldn't risk starting a fire just because I "need" some uncorked exhaust on my off-road bike. Busted :laugh: .....NOT! The idea has never even crossed my mind, honestly! [/QUOTE]
