To a certain extent, motorcycles being loud is justifiable. It's very, very common for drivers to simply not see motorcycles because they're looking for cars and not motorcycles, and being loud enough to be clearly audible draws an extra amount of attention to them that helps keep them safe. That isn't carte blanche to be as loud as one wants, though, and there are definitely plenty of bikers out there that make lots of noise because they're just tools about it, not for any reason related to safety.

Now, loud cars/trucks? That's just people being douchebags. There's no reason for that.

Agreed to a degree, but if safety was a huge concern there would be more helmets and people wearing leathers I feel...
