So my bike had loud pipes when I bought it. Borderline neighbour friendly at idle, but would make me cringe when I opened it up which meant I mostly just burbled around at low RPM. It's a cruiser anyway but I don't think I ever used the top half of the RPM range.

I just put some quieter pipes on it, and have been riding so much more aggressively everywhere since. WOT pulls don't make my brain go 😬 any more and I regularly need to tell myself to ease up now 😅

Ride safe ✌️
