Figures a lawer would use his "personal experiences" which mean next to nothing. I have stock pipes and DUAL AIR HORNS; "Walk softly and carry a BIG STICK".
What the lawer doesn't realize is that freeways are the most safest roads for motorcycles. All he is doing is P*&&*&G off motorists and encouraging them to lobby for motocycle banning, etc. It's the suburban roads with cross streets, and this is not PERSONAL EXPERIENCES; it's the Hurt Study from UCLA. It's the half deaf grandma or the boom-boxed airhead teenager that darts out the side streets. Loud pipes or even loud horns are worthless until nanoseconds before the BIG HURT is laid on the biker.
