The definition of loud is where the problem lies. Bikes need to be heard over cars to help make up for their lack of comparative visibility. Bikes should be loud enough to accomplish this but not so loud that the noise is offensive . I believe far too many bikers think anything goes and that they can be as loud as possible which is not necessary. Let them be loud but have very strict enforcement of levels to keep the trouble makers in check.

-He dances around flinging crap at all of them like he's won the argument.
Ironic.

You're right. I'd put the percentage closer to 60%.
