    I would not ride a silent bike. Sound contributes to awareness as do horns, sirens and now a mandate for EVs to emit noise. I'll take every advantage I can get from gear, visibility to sound without being obnoxious.

    Iv been at places where the Harley guys block intersections as they drove by. Maybe they think they have the right to pull stuff like that,. But to everyone else it is just another blackeye to the rest of us who follow the rules
