Trust me... you're fine... no sportbike is loud like my bike.

Kinda the same reason why I don't worry about my vertical plate when there are sportbikes with plates in front of the rear tire.

Yesterday I saw a stock Big Dog just like yours except it was red or whatever the fuck color that is. It was loud just with the stock pipes on there, I cant even begin the think how loud your bike is.

I'm pretty sure I could damage somebody's ears.... especially with the pipes aiming basically out and up like they do.

They just want to look badass for the ladies who like men in uniform.

Cops in general don't wear proper gear and aren't the best riders...

Meh, who gives a shit about loudness. It's all about tone and firing order that gives it the distinct howl.
