For what it's worth:
My buddy and I were doing a run on the much acclaimed Hwy 36 outa Red Bluff, CA. He was on his (quiet) K1200R, and I was on my Bonnie with it's (LOUD) D&D cans.
There were two occasions on that ride that I saw deer up ahead scatter as my loud pipes and I approached them. When my buddy took the lead, I rounded the corner only to see him activating the ABS to avoid a half dozen deer in the road. Honest to God, they didn't budge until I blipped the throttle between quick down-shifts!
Loud pipes save lives...... of deer, and those of us whose presence is announced by the likes of LOUD cans.

Wouldn't your horn have scared them off too? I like a bike to sound like a bike, but find straight pipes to be too loud. Many cities and towns are putting restrictions on noise now mostly due to loud bikes.
