You're going to need more than 30 motorcyclists at 80db before they equate to the sound of one car at 95db. The size of the gap seems pretty arbitrary.

I've never seen a pack of dozens of motorcyclists, never mind seeing them "often", although I am aware that this is a thing. I imagine the lower DB limit is due to lawmakers dislike of noisy motorcyclists.

I think the gap is vindictive, motivated by the general public's frustration with motorcyclists.


80dB times 30 equals 94.7dB. I imagine the fact that the motorcycles are spread out would affect it somewhat.
