Loud = dangerous Dangerous = comfortable taking risk = masculine = desirable to women = looked up to by other men

Listen, I agree the loudness is annoying. But there is an argument that loud = SAFE. Drivers in cars just do not see motorcyclists 🙁 So at least a loud engine alerts traffic around you that you exist. Also, wear your helmets, kids!

No one is forcing them to ride a motorcycle.

Also ripping down residential streets and running red lights is not “SAFE”. Not all motorcyclists do it but enough of them do it to reenforce the stereotype.
