Russia seems pretty damn confused about whether the future is oil or not, or rather just in denial about oil NOT being the future.

There’s at least one study that says they don’t.
I have avoided running into multiple bikes because I was able to hear them over the course of my life. I am going to have to call bullshit.
Increasingly idgaf if motorcycles are particularly loud, so long as the noise limits in my municipality are reasonable to pedestrians and people sleeping, and are actually enforced. In short, keep your loud pipes if you insist that they keep you safe, but keep them away from where I live. In the meantime I actively encourage the development of visibility enhancement methods that don’t disrupt everyone nearby.
Don’t get me wrong, I can totally understand the hate that loud pipes generate. There are also assholes who do things like idle their loud bikes in their driveways for half an hour in the morning.
Do you drive with the music at a low volume? Or with your windows down? Or do you have a car that is not very soundproof? If so, then yeah, you’re going to be different than that study since no study is perfect.
The study was just stupid. You can’t hear exhaust because it is pointed the wrong direction!? It is like these idiots don’t even know sound travels in all directions far faster than any vehicle.
I guess you can’t hear fire engines or trains coming either because you are playing music at 100 decibels with your sound cancelling headphones on. Just dumb.
One time I was in a parking lot backing up when I heard a Harley and came to a stop. Avoided an accident. Numerous times driving on the highway getting ready for a lane change when I noticed a sound and double checked my blind spot. Surprise, a motorcycle was there.
Yeah this is demanding someone prove a negative. They also haven’t proven speed bumps have saved any lives, but they have proven it reduces speeds in parking lots.
