I've been riding choppers since I was 15, and I've been around them since I can remember. I remember my mom carrying me outside when I was about 2 yrs old to a crowd of about 50 Harleys and chops, and my dad and uncle saying good bye to us before they all left.
Trust me... Whether they admit it or not, they like to be loud. The whole "loud pipes save lives" thing is true to an extent, but anyone who says they have a loud exhaust ONLY to get noticed is a liar. Besides, I've had more people pull out in front of me or try to change lanes into me on my loud bike than I do on my "quiet" bike.
