100000% Agree.

Here in Germany, I'm convinced the Police simply don't care about motorcycles with modified mufflers. The sound is deafening. In the last decade the noise has gotten worse and worse.

Once one of those small penis motorcycle owners saw that I was covering my three year old child's ears as he passed by, and only then did he put his bike into neutral and walked it by us.

As a biker, I hate these types of riders with a passion. All street legal bikes come out of the factory with reasonable sound levels, they have to go out of their way to specifically make it uncomfortable for everyone else. Pretty much every one of them is exactly the type of person you'd expect as well, insecure with an intelligence level comparable to a wooden spoon. Personally I tell nearly no one that I ride bikes, because the first assumption is always that you're one of those loud assholes.

Problem with motorcycles in Germany is, they are usually too fast for the police to catch with their car, and the helmet prevents usable photos of the driver. But unfortunately the laws require that the driver committing the speed/noise/redlight offense is identified and fined, fining the owner by license plate doesn't work (except if the bike was modified).

Is that why some YouTubers started to make ads for a "sue your motorcycle speeding tickets invalid" company as if this is really working, because it is?

Germany has such a specific way of making laws with holes.

Not every inconsiderate person is compensating for something. Some people just have different opinions from you about how to behave in public.

And no, I don't have a loud motorcycle.

Well, no, but, you know, common things are common.

These, along with various other obnoxiously loud and/or big vehicles, are _strongly_ coded 'insecure man'. Not necessarily insecure about that in particular, of course, but insecure about something.
