Default Is Your Bike Too Loud?

Found on another forum...

Here's yet another ignorant coalition that claims to be an expert and leader in the crusade against motorcycle exhaust noise. These guys are great at stereotyping the American biker and scaring all the non-motorcyclists back into the '50's mindset that anyone riding a Harley is a belligerent drunk that wants to hurt them.

Here's a quote from their site:

"Do not approach or attempt to reason with bikers. Most of them are belligerent. When possible, take down their license plate number and call the police. In communities where the police pull over bikers, often they find alcohol, drugs and sometimes weapons. In a few cases, bikers have outstanding warrants for their arrest."

If interested, here's the link to their rant about exhaust (feel free to contact them and let them know how many of their statements are untrue):

Aside from the warrants, everything else is completely false...Unless of course you consider a 9mm a weapon. Hehe

If you ask me my pipes aren't loud enough.

My favorite reply in that link..............
[Where can I sign up to protest soccer Moms in 4-ton vehicles talking on cell phones while they drive? Have you ever tried to approach one of them? They make Harley riders look like the Easter Bunny.

"Concerned American"]

Priceless!!!
