One man's point of view (not mine)

Noise pollution. You have to admit that some people's bikes are just obnoxiously loud. And unfortunately it often seems as if those with the loudest pipes have the most arrogant attitudes. Not all, but a lot of them do -- which doesn't reflect well on motorcycles as a whole.

One's rights to do anything would logically have boundaries; which would be at the point when one's actions begin to interfere in another's rights.

Sound is no different. If your loud sounds are thrust upon others; you are likely exceeding the boundary of your right to produce them; and should expect consequences for doing so.

With the complaints of loud bikes growing each year. I suspect that eventually regulation will be made to where loud pipes will be a thing of the past.
