Okay, I'll concede some of the noise is performance-related; but all the rest? I mean, do wackos actually think the noise makes them look cool or something, as opposed to "oh, look at the rude inconsiderate jerk!"

My town has noise limits too, especially in the narrow streets of the historic area; but no, no enforcement, dammit. And let me tell you, it can really reverberate in narrow streets lined with brick buildings! (You do NOT want to be stuck in that area when fifty or sixty 'Rolling Thunder' motorcyclists rev their engines in unison!)

Maybe it's just another symptom of my encroaching old age......
