Don't worry about my grammar or IQ, no onecan offend me here on HD forum. So justlookout forroadsidepolice checks when riding yourbike.. then you ask yourself where did these laws come from, when acop pulls out decibel meter. Hopefully you pass!! I never heard ofdecibel metersten years ago, that cops carryin their cars.They sure as hell do now. Long live aftermarket pipes foroff-road or on road. so please you tell me what is loud and what isn't. your police office in yourarea knows for sure.. i wonder where he got that information?????? It's just we are being pushed into a corner ofstupid laws. Anyhoo bash me, hate me, call me what you want, i care do not CARE. it's just an ISSUE thatmaysomeday confront you..Merry christmas and best for you all in the new year.

 

Ok I'll bite. What's a twatwaffle? Does it make your pipes quieter?

 

What do the jurisdictions that have a 'noise ordinance' (be it 86 decibels or whatever) do to enforce gas powered lawn mowers, weed wackers, or chain saws that no doubt would be in violation?

I might be mistaken, but I think my chain saws, mowers, and other gas powered equipment put out much more 'noise' than my Harley's... Maybe next Spring I'll have one of the LEO's I know do a test with a decibel meter just to verify the results.

Seems to me that many of these 'noise ordinances' that people keep talking about are a form of selective enforcement which only applies to certain items, with other items being exempt, even if they are in violation as well.

 

What, i can't hear you

 

You just don't get it do you?

YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and YOU are the one giving US a lecture!

GET F'ING REAL!

I mean damn! Do you have sex and then complain about your ***** being wet too?

I mean really..............

 

I think they would point out that the difference is that people don't generally run chain saws, mowers and the like in the town tourist area. New Hope is an artsy fartsy historic town along the Delaware with open cafes and bars along the center drag. When you get a group of bikes or even onewith open pipes the soundcan be deafening as it echos off the buildings.

Sometimes they just stop in one place and rev their engines as if in a contest to see who has the loudest pipes. You can't even carry on a conversation. So I think the town fathers or mothers were pretty much forced to do something.Hopefully their efforts will be confined to just the worst offenders and not the nice guys like me. Honest officer, they're stock pipes.

 

My pipe is a little curved, but it sounds and feels great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so she says...

 

In the old days they had a sophisticated device called a coat hanger that they would insert into the pipe and if it didn't catch on a baffle you could be getting a ticket.

 

I don't know about anyone else but I will definitely be using the term "twatwaffle" in the future. Don't know exactly when, but I can't wait!

 

Skip the twatwaffle, I'll just have the quimcakes.
