On my first ride of the year, I went around the block one time without a helmet. (we can do that here) Surprisingly, I remember the exhaust being louder in my head when I was wearing the helmet. Go figure.
I have been reading about loud pipes and ear plugs. If a bike is too loud with stock pipes, such that one has to wear ear plugs, why run louder pipes, that REALLY necessitate wearing ear plugs? Maybe it's like a guy who plays lead guitar at an earsplitting volume to get his signature sound, then wears ear plugs or headphones so he doesn't hurt his ears.
Maybe I'm just too old to embrace the whole appearance/vibe/look/attitude of a biker. Maybe I'm just a guy who rides a motorcycle, but isn't a biker. Should I get rid of it so that I don't spoil the image for my fellow riders?
Should you be taking this article this seriously?
And yes, at one point, I was riding an orange juice painted 2004 Honda Metropolitan as my main source of transport. Laugh if you want. Go ahead. I'll wait.
