I don't ever recall being alerted by a loud motorcycle on behind the wheel. Most cars today are pretty quiet inside and those noises are negligible when drivers keep their windows up.

But sitting in my living room, as they decide to accelerate while going past because there is open road, it only serves to drown out any conversation or the radio or television in my house. And at 2AM it pulls you right out of bed.
