+1000! I have gotten pulled over and ticked before by motorcycle cops who"s bikes are LOUDER than my car. their are plenty of bikes out there that are extremely loud but never get pulled over by cops. In fact they give them a fuckin thumbs up! when they pass by

Yes, but now I would not be able to put a Titanium exhaust on my bike that helps for open track days, by producing more horsepower and saving weight.

Sportbike that is.

Sounds like the law is supposedly targeting the hardly riders. Just throw your bike in a truck and take it to the track. How much more HP do you need on your crotch rocket? My bike does low 10s stock and you dont really need to be going that much faster around traffic anyways.

people can say the same about some of the cars out there on the road..if this law gets passed, its just a matter of time before they start coming after the autos with any modified exhaust. how much would that suck?

Posted by essasin (Member # 4741) on :

I have to agree. There are a decent amount of responsible and respectful riders but more often than not there is always some fucker just revving at a stoplight for no reason.

Exactly! Anyone who is a gearhead should be against legislation like this. PERIOD. It's that "well, it doesn't affect me" attitude that allows our asshat legislators to get away with bullshit like this. United we stand, divided we fall cannot be further from the truth.

Harley riders are gearheads? More like overweight 50 year olds with bad attitudes and equally bad tatoos. Your neighbors complain about your donuts and burnouts in your neighborhood. But its these fags that are at least 10DBs louder for no apparent reason other than to piss people off and pray for attention. Straight faggerdom

You sir are a total Asshat! And no I don't own or ride a Harley but everyday I see laws enforced and added to the books which make no damn sense for any of us.

You do realize this isn't just about Harleys. It affects all motorcycles. If you think the government telling you what you can and cannot do with your property is cool, then maybe you should move to a place like Cuba or China.

This law is just another stepping stone to banning all modifications to every vehicle on the road.

Stand united with harley riders? Screw that, thats like if i joined you at one of your no on prop 8 rallies. If a law makes sense then i support it, and to watch harley riders get as harrassed by cops for being loud as hell would be worth this law alone. Laws for exhaust and your music being turned up loud will always exist and they are not going away. Its about time for some fairness when it comes to these pricks.

Thats exactly what the law states anyways, its up to police to enforce them and they do so depending on how much of a prick you are to them.

Whoa you got me with the prop 8 comment should I brace myself now for any more of your comedy?

Back the the original point this goes beyond harley riders it's motorcycles in general and adding yet another law to keep people from doing whatever they want to their vehicles.

Your trying to add 1+1 and your getting 3. This has got to be coming directly from the way people feel about harley riders beating our eardrums to death for no good reason.

I feel you man harley riders do too much but trust me man if you came to work with me one day and saw some of the shit people get ticketed or booked for you'd say whoa! I just hate legislators putting laws on the books they will never have to worry about themselves.

Did you even read the law? This only affect 2011 and newer motorcycles. This does absolutely nothing to the bikes already on the road. Also, this is pretty much only going to affect bikes that are made by Harley and must adhere to EPA standards. This isn't going to affect any of the custom bike builders like Arlen Ness, Ron Simms, OCC, West Coast Choppers, because they produce such a low volume that they will be exempt from needing to meet EPA regs. So your logic about fucking with Harley riders is absolutely retarded.

It's about damn time something was done about those loud-ass bike mufflers. Especially in OAKLAND! Dudes ride their custom colored bikes revving at every stop sign.
One night 2-3 bikers got on the 580 heading East and was so loud I can tell they traveled to 98th ave. After 20 min. they came roaring back home waking my ass up at 3am. Tuesday morning!
It's about Frikkin' time! No disrespect to the modest riders who know what I'm talking about.

Well I'm a Harley owner in my 30' s and I have a loud exhaust and an equally loud stereo system so assholes like your self can hear me..
Happens to motorcyclists all the time when involved in traffic accidents the driver of the car says"I didn't even see him ".I have a family and kids I'd like to make it home to see and if my loud pipes help you notice me good!

PS. I'm also a gearhead!

Ok so your point of people hearing your pipes is retarded because they cant hear them until you pass them up since they are pointed backwards. And your going with the triple fag threat of the stereo is loud and obnoxious because nobody wants to hear your music and you cant even hear your music with your loud exhaust remember. If you were trying to be as safe as possible you wouldnt have music blasting because its hard to hear a bunch of cars slamming on their brakes with your AC/DC blasting. The stereos are super faggy. I ride a crotch rocket and nobody watches for you, thats a fact of life when you ride and the risk you take. And when i cage around town i'm always moving over for bikes, crotch rockets or harleys. For the most part its you guys who dont follow traffic rules and bully your way around instead of just waiting for your opening but thats what fags like to do. So when your bumping you god awful music and blasting your super loud exhaust on your bike that tops out at 100MPH, the rest of us are laughing at you calling you a fag.
