I don't know about Jason but I do, all of them from the youngest to the
oldest have always reacted "ooo bike! bike! bike!" rather than anything
negative even when they've been VERY loud. [1]

energizer bunny is bothered by is people riding motorbikes.

I like the sound of a big twin with loud pipes, I'm not so fond of
inline 4's but each to their own.

a lot of race tracks like Sandown and Phillip Island which have strict
noise limits.

sounded better when they were louder.

excusable in some way.

All I'm saying is they sound good :) [1]
