As a cyclist and motorcyclist I have to agree with this sentiment. I am sympathetic with the argument that 'loud pipes save lives'....but most loud pipes I hear are at intesections as moto guys gun their bikes to impress themselves. Alot of moto guys have contempt for cyclists also, because we wear helmets, driving a stake thru their 'helmet laws zuck' campaigns.
