Waking babies, causing anxiety attacks, generally disturbing the peace for many many people all so a single person can go vroom.

I almost entirely always say we should err on the side of more personal freedom, but loud motorcycles need to be completely banned.

As a motorcycle drivers myself, I think that the obsession of my fellow drivers with producing loud noises is childish.

I really enjoy the acceleration though (when it's safe to e.g. accelerate away from a traffic light or when getting on the freeway).

The feeling of way faster responding control, and being exposed to wind, smells, sounds makes it a very relaxing immersive experience for me.

I dream of an electric motocycle that can accelerate like hell and emit almost no noise. Just like Tron or something.
