[QUOTE="beer_stud_76, post: 507343, member: 34459"] i realize this is an old thread but i must jump to the defense of loud pipes. of course everyone's definition of "loud" is different, and 96db will still be too loud for some. however, here in western Wa, you don't see a dirtbike comming the other way on a trail from way off. in fact 99% of the time you don't seem them till you have met at a blind corner. in addition to my fairly loud XR600 i ride my mountain bike on these trails and my old lady rides horses in areas often used bike dirtbikes. both of us actually LIKE the loud bikes. we hear them and can get out of the way. i can't tell you how many times i've been early pasted head long by one of you "considerate" quiet dirtbikers, but i can say that i've never had a close call with a loud bike. its a legitimate safety issue. loud bikes save lives. period. there can be no counter argument to this. maybe in the wide open desert where you can see a dust cloud or something from a long way off this is a moot point. and i can see how an MX track packed with extra loud bikes might be a nuisaunce(sp) to the nieghbors. but out here in the dense muddy woods what sound there is doesn't travel far. as far as i'm concerned, i'd rather ride a quiet bike. but me and my bike wiegh a combined 600lbs or so. this going down a trail even at a modest pace is enough to kill a man or break a horses' leg or whatever. so far, and often because of my loudish bike, i haven't had a single scary moment with another trail user. jeremiah [/QUOTE]
