I personally believe world would be slighlty better without motorcycles. Somehow most of them (or, at least, most of the ones people choose to buy) are much louder than cars, even though they have much smaller mass. Seems like the loudness is a design goal almost.

I wholeheartedly disagree. There are certainly people involved with motorcycles that seek attention and try to be as anti-social as possible. But that is by no means representative of the overall motorcycle community. They are just the ones that makes the most noise (pun intended).

Motorcycles acts as therapy for a lot of people, myself included. Without them, my life would be a lot less enjoyable.

People are modifying their bikes to be loud. Stock motorcycles are fine.

I can second this, I've met some lifelong friends through motorcycles + explored so much of the world.
