I hate any loud noises, including; Ambulance/police Sirens, loud engines - Being motorbikes and cars, normally sports cars. I get a little scared and have to cover my ears. It really sucks. Couldn’t they make engines quieter? :lol: :o

Not a big fan of loud motorcycles, nope.

Though the sound that seems to bother me the most is the air compressor. Have to leave the workshop while it charges.

The old saying is, loud pipes save lives. A loud motorcycle gets attention from drivers who will probably hear the motorcycle before they see it.

I cannot stand the sound, I was in church one day, and the pastor randomly had someone ride a motorcycle inside, in front of the stage, then rev the engine. I flipped out. Not a place I expected to see one. Another week they brought a baby goat though, it was adorable.

Oh God, don't get me started. Not only are they annoying, but they grate my ears in a way not many other things do.

Ugh, yes. I'm into road cycling actually and motorcycles really scare me when they ride past me on my bicycle.

On a side note, I also hate how they blow so much gas into your face so you can't really breathe properly for a bit, which is obviously important when cycling.

Yes but I can get used to it. Cause it happens on a daily basis, especially on warm days and I live on a busy road.

Maybe they're making a political statement? :D Coal rollers seem pretty fond of gassing cyclists, more or less like Prius drivers.
