Am I the only one who hates loud motorcycles?

Not really sure how a loud bike can save lives. From taking motorcyle safety class here on base not one instructor mentioned having a loud exhaust is part of motorcyle safety, your better off wearing a orange or yellow jacket and ride like your invisible to other drivers, also if possible never ride alone. One thing also most motorcyle accident happen because they get cut off which mean up front, the exhaust is in the back and the majority of the noise goes to the back and most drivers will not hear motorcycle till they are already next to them. This is only my opinion of course and not a fact, just as much as there is no fact/statistics proving that loud exhaust saves lives. Ride safe, don't ride loud.
