Why do some people think it's cool to have their motorcycle make unbelievably obnoxiously loud noise?

What I am totally baffled about is the new fad called the ?CaliLean?, where the front of the vehicle is raised.
It looks stupid and is very dangerous, also looks like a dog dragging it's ass along the road.

Agreed. I think the idea is that with the tilt of the vehicle, you're experiencing great luxury because you're reclined in the seat.

Buy an autonomous vehicle, put a laz-e-boy in it, set the destination in the autopilot and take a nappy-poo.

I can't see any gain in the trailing leg that racers do these days - it just looks WRONG

They crave attention because they're narcissistic or suffer from serious inadequacies.

I tend to think that it's a lot like an infant with a noisemaker toy.

I wanna say what I usually call it, but it's soooooooo not safe for the lounge. So, let's just pretend I said something witty and funny.

No need to pretend, my friend!

Well, if you just paid a lot of money for a toy, wouldn't you want to show it off to as many people as possible?
|
|
|
|

Yes, but I wouldn't want to annoy the hell out of them with it!

South Park addressed this a couple years ago. Worth checking out the entire episode, even though it contains 'bad' language (as does this clip): South Park Bikers[^]

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Compensating for a lack thereof.

That's not testosterone, quite the opposite. Testosterone is the happy hormone that helps bone density, muscle mass, mood, etc. Only low T people with jealousy blame everything on T man. Loud peeps is just attention seeking and immaturity. There are plenty of low T dudes who are effeminate that also need attention.

I've ridden and raced motorcycles all my life - went to the IOM TT and manx GP about 20 times and never felt the need to make more noise than was absolutely necessary - some people are just dumb

Zackly. I preferred my sports bikes not to attract attention.

Why attract unwanted attention from Mr Plod ? they dislike us enough as it is.

 your just an old fart, loud, flashy and fast is the hallmark of the young and stupid.
Personally I like the idea of the electric bikes, a gentle whine at the threshold of hearing.

So much easier to sneak up on unsuspecting pedestrians!

Don't you get points for pedestrians with their nose and eyes glued to their smartphone?

You'd need a small thermonuclear device to get their attention. 0 points.

Do they drive past you whilst coding. Are they a common feature in your neck of the woods so as to be a frequent nuisance whilst commuting to favorite coffee shop. I have been fortunate to reside in locales some distance from main roads w/ result small number of traffic. However I am intimately acquainted w/ loud noise. At a prior such residence a quiet condominium w/ exception of insane neighbors on one occasion the grass trimming / cutting was performed w/ a powered hand held device emitting such volume I was unable to hear my own thoughts and had the impression w/o exaggeration a 1,000lb gorilla was in my room. How the operator maintained his hearing I can not imagine. Thankfully as stated it was a one time event. As for insane neighbors I can only hope they reside in the most insane parts of hell.
