Your argument is the equivalent of, “I saw someone get stabbed to death so you shouldnt wear your motorcycle helmet.”

I have no doubt you did see these things but that doesnt mean loud pipes dont add a bit of safety at the expense of noise comfort. Every bit of safety adds up and can save your life. There is no one thing that will do it but if you do enough it can have an effect. Maybe you didnt hear those pipes but a few hours later someone else did and didnt see them and they were saved.

As someone who didnt have an excessively loud bike. … I’ve almost been killed so many times by people who didnt see or hear me and who switched lanes or pulled out in front of me.

Loud pipes do save lives and no amount of bullshit research about one particular scenario that doesnt factor in everything else will change that.

If you think you cant hear loud pipes if you are in front of or beside a motercycle then your an idiot who probably doesnt even ride.

No amount of anything will prevent headons .

But i dont ride anymore and if you do and you want to cruise quietly then you do you.

No. Loud = safe for motorcyclists. Its the only way they can be noticed inside sound proof cars by people on their phones.

I dont ride anymore because bad drivers killed every motorcyclist i used to ride with.
