>While this sounds like a reasonable argument, I think it's a load of bullpucky. Motorcycles are loud by default, and using aftermarket parts to make them louder is just part of the self-affirming statement of ego.

Most bike horns are going to be louder then stock or aftermarket exhausts, yet no one's gone around tapping the horn button down.
