That is Gen. Gouverneur Warren, at Gettysburg. AKA the "Hero of Little Roundtop". I was just there this winter.

The guy seated on the left looks a little like Teddy Roosevelt.

Correct.

Correct.

Are we raising our standards for verification to two sources, now?

No, I merely forgot to put the identity information that I have with the card into the original post.

As for standards, I was not aware that we had any on MTJ,

When I hear a motorcycle or car roaring down the road, with the pilot making sure everybody is disturbed and noticing his passing-by, I always think to myself, "Are you that desperate for attention?"

They are compensating for other inadequacies.

Some claim the noise is so other motorists and pedestrians will notice them and be aware that they are in the area.
My son rides a Harley and bought a new one and changed the pipes to make more noise. I asked him why.
His answer was he liked the noise.
I agree with the above answers by Murph and Rufus.

Yes, but, your answer makes sense, too, which I had heard was motivation for some of the motorcycle riders - making noise so other motorists are more aware of the cyclist's presence nearby on the roadways. Some car interiors are so insulated against noise that occupants may not be aware a motorcycle is directly alongside, even in a blind-spot, or moving-up quickly.

Muffler noise is only fleeting, so if it gives riders some degree of protection, it's worth it for the short time they are passing by.

Didn't you establish one, if merely by happenstance and frequency, for hotbabes in vinyl (disciplinary devices, attitude, RR-trax, and altitude of high-heels especially included) ?

Merely an appreciation......

As with everything in life, it's all been dealt with on South Park:

Murph,
My son says many bikers make the claim the loud pipes are to alert motorists that they are near.
He says most cars have so much sound proofing today a motorcycle can hardly be heard and
that is just an excuse for making noise.

Well, either way, they are not hurting anyone, so God Bless them and may they always be safe.

Sure, there's no such thing as noise pollution. How about I send them over to your place, where they can wake you up repeatedly, all night and all day?

The only good loud biker, is a dead loud biker. Seriously, thoroughly, dead.

Actually, they are. Get your hearing checked and see.
