Yep. I once had a discussion with a casual acquaintance/co-worker who would show up for work and company events on a Harley with ear-shattering pipes.
He insisted I didn't know how bad car drivers were and if it weren't for this jackhammer exhaust people wouldn't know he was even there.
I asked him, if that was such a safety issue, why it seemed the bikers with the loudest bikes, presumably the ones most concerned about safety, didn't wear brighter clothes, and generally wore faded black denim, the same color as they asphalt roads they were riding on.
He skulked away without answering.
I will admit that I cannot stand Harley riders or their vast hypocrisies.
Also, in the line of safety, the no helmet or half-face helmet routine (IMO so named because that’s what will be left if you crash rofl).
Still, generally better than the liter bike guys with 2.5s 0-60 machines wearing helmet, t-shirt, shorts and sneakers.
