Article said: Grace Shepphard, who works at Ryka’s Café, said she had heard Mickleham residents complain bikers now go through the village to avoid the average speed cameras installed on the A24 two years ago.Unintended consequences!!! Of course that was going to happen - I've done it myself!
As for loud pipes: depends what it is. Screaming Eagles are OTT, but bearable (during the day...) 125s with straight through pipes are the most tedious, annoying noise of all & should be clamped down on. I also don't like IL4 engines with cheap end cans - loud whining. I saw a Duperduke R recently with the loudest pipe I've ever heard, but the actual sound was awesome - I don't think it was an Akra pipe, but it had been tuned 'just so'......

Not a fan - my view mostly shaped by having an Mx5 years ago with a naughty pipe, was cool for about 5 mins and then got old/embarrassing fast once you realise close to zero people like it apart from you, plus possibly people at motoring events
I've considered get an V&H pipe on my Tiger, but given the above, I've held back - the induction roar in 2nd and 3rd is pretty cool and I'm happy with that, and the bike is reasonably sociable when I'm riding it around town.

Whenever I am in Italy (around lake Como) I see all these bikers tearing up the already broken asphalt, all these uber-loud Ducatis and such, all flying by old people sitting in their gardens or in coffee shops, and the old people are not upset, the bikes do not bother them, they actually seem content to have the motos flying by.
In Switzerland old people seem to want quietness like in the grave. Sad people, they do not realize that soon they will be in an eternally quiet grave.

No disrespect to you, and I also like MX5, but...I've considered get an V&H pipe on my Tiger, but given the above, I've held back - the induction roar in 2nd and 3rd is pretty cool and I'm happy with that, and the bike is reasonably sociable when I'm riding it around town.
You had naughty pipe on a wrong car, sorry. MX5 with tiny engine and 180hp? This is like those farting pipes on Golfs and old BMWs, just chav.
Get a proper vehicle, V8 american muscle, or maybe something Italian, then loud sound kind of belongs.
