DAMN YOUR PIPES ARE LOUD!! Many people wonder why some bikers have loud pipes. While “loud pipes save lives” by alerting an otherwise oblivious public of the motorcyclist’s presence, others believe it’s just an emotionally driven phenomenon.

Who cares! If you are looking for an audience, well there are many who are looking for the same thing. From jocks to docs (doctors) to hikers to bikers. It’s really no different for the Gold Winger who has bedecked his land-yacht with blinding arrays of chrome and lighting, the cruiser fanatic who has raked out his front end to a degree that defies the laws of physics, or the sport bike jockey who has shod his racer-replica with oversized slicks that will never reach their operating temps in street use.

To each his own! We say let’em roar loud.!!!
