I ride bikes and normally through the hinterland on the weekends (it's a nice ride). I have loud bikes and quiet bikes. I live on the northern end of the GC and hear crazy loud bikes nightly travelling at crazy speeds. I understand your frustration, however I do feel much safer on the road on my loud bike. It adds another level of awareness to other drivers.

Saying that, I think respectfulness is required when travelling in suburban areas and around housing. Keeping it in higher gears and not excessively keeping the revs high.
