There's a difference between exhaling CO2, or a dog taking a shit, which are necessary activities for living beings to survive, and running a bike without a catylytic converter. The latter provides no life-enhancing rewards other than producing a cool noise you happen to like. But you could have ridden your motorcycle just as well with the cat converter still installed.

Reminds me of people who bitch about how "inconvenient" it is to put recyclables into a recycle bin.......They act like it's such an inconvenience to put 2 bins out on the street instead of 1.

Personally I love recycling. I generally barely fill one 13gal trash bag a week due to recycling. Plus its good for the environment.
