I know that a lot of bikers do the crazy exhaust just for the sound, etc. But I know a lot of people get loud exhausts on their bikes, because it helps draw attention to them on the highway or in traffic that makes it easier for people in cars and trucks to be aware of them.

However, there ARE a lot of people that drive like knob's on Harleys and other big bikes in neighbourhoods where they are completely uncourteous. If more of them made an effort to upshift sooner, and drive in say 3rd gear in residential areas, I wouldn't mind them so much.
