Different strokes, I guess. The concept of wearing ear buds while riding is just wrong to me.
My exhaust is intentionally tuned to be barely legal. I use 18" glass packs; because 16's were 5db too loud. My bike sounds more like a 60's muscle car than a Harley with drag pipes.
It's odd to talk aesthetics and motorcycles; but the sound of my engine during a full throttle acceleration is part of my enjoyment while riding. I'd also propose that crotch rockets weaving in and out of traffic give bikers a worse reputation than loud pipes.
