opinion, based on my observations.

I have to agree that loud pipes do not help in every situation, but when you 
are on a bike, you take every precaution and if  the loud pipes help prevent 
an accident just once, they are worth it.  My Velo is kinda loud and I see 
heads turn well in advance of me, However, my newer Honda, with its quieter 
pipes, does not have the same effect.  Lets face it, by todays standards, 
our Healeys are pretty loud too!
