[QUOTE="AssistSuper, post: 1029773, member: 60409"] This is an awesome read. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy noise to an extent. I absolutely love the rumble of a loping V8 or a racecar. I enjoy the way the thumpers sound when they take off from the gate and the way the motor sounds while I'm watching a race. I don't enjoy trying to take a nap and hearing insanely loud vehicles. I don't enjoy trying to BS with someone in the pits and having to yell in their ear because the track is packed with thumpers and I can't hear a thing. I definately don't like the possibility of the areas I have the priviledge of riding at being shut down due to noise. It's going to be a pressing issue especially with areas that are growing in population as the rural areas become neighborhoods. Is my bike loud? Well it depends on how you look at it. I do have an FMF pipe and silencer on my pipe, so it's probably a little louder than stock, but the sound just doesn't carry like the thumpers do. My next silencer will most likely be a quiet one. Is a little bit of a power sacrifice going to hurt me? No way, I don't race and I can't use my bike to it's full potential anyway. I just like getting out on the track and having a good time. When tracks start getting shut down is what will hurt me. Would you rather have a quieter bike with more places to ride, or would you rather have a loud 'cool sounding' bike that just sits in your garage because you have no place to ride it? [/QUOTE]
