Do “Loud Pipes” Save Lives?!

The motorcycle world never seems to stop from talking about the role of loud pipes while riding. One phrase “loud pipes saves lives”, seems to get more and more visible. Some say it’s a truth, while some disagree. However, it has been a one real debate with contrasting rationales.

Some think loud noise of pipes help to drive people’s attention, so they could get aside and save their lives from deadly accidents. For instance, when you are riding through the towns or on a long ride where you have to deal with so much on the road. Here, you are with a chance of having nasty car bike collision or any other accident. Loud pipes can be helpful in alarming people and make them care about the safety of their own and others on the road.

But the other side seems to complain about the annoying noise created from these pipes. So has become the very reason of ban on motorcycles in many communities and cities across United States. Looks fair enough, if someone gets bothered from such noise, but many riders think otherwise. Especially, when you are running through the crowded highways and have so much to drive your attention. You can find it almost impossible to get noticed. Here, “loud pipes” give you a useful option to enhance your visibility and make your ride safe as ever.

However, communities other than the riders have to deal with this noise without much of the reason, which surely is a concern to be bothered about.
