It's not generally other drivers that are detrimentally impacted by loud cycles/vehicles (though there have been numerous times I got spooked by a rider gunning it to lane split next to me). The problem is for the people relaxing, trying to unwind in their homes being constantly assaulted by road noise. Edit: and the idea that a big Harley chopper idling at a stoplight isn't ridiculously loud is absurd. "FUD DUD DUD DUD DUD"
