I grew up in SoCal. As far as this s***hole, I'm looking at moving away this summer, so no arguments from me. At least here it's more than just the criminals that have guns.

Save yourself thetime and effort and get a AAA membership. Registered and got tags for my Heritage when moved to CA. The bike was purchased in Europe and Registered in AZ before I moved to Cali....no issues, no lines, no waiting.
Plus my AAA membership covers MC roadside assistance where my Car/Bike Insurance doesn't provide roadside assistance for MC's.

That's odd since since there in no law against aftermarket pipes on pre-2013 bikes. 2013 and newer aftermarket pipes need an EPA stamp.
On pre 2013 bikes, pipes that exceed the DB levels stated below can be cited. Those are the federally mandated numbers.
27201. For the purposes of Section 27200, the noise limit of 92 dbA
shall apply to any motorcycle manufactured before 1970.
27202. For the purposes of Section 27200, the following noise
limits shall apply to any motorcycle, other than a motor-driven
cycle, manufactured:
(1) After 1969, and before 1973 ...... 88 dbA
(2) After 1972, and before 1975 ...... 86 dbA
(3) After 1974, and before 1986 ...... 83 dbA
(4) After 1985 ....................... 80 dbA

And this is exactly why (even though we are both retired and can live anywhere we want) we won't live anywhere else. You just deal with the politics, live in a conservative county (yeah we have those here) and save a lot of money in energy bills. And don't forget Lake Tahoe and surrounding area.

Interesting how people see things differently. I tend to be a cynical curmudgeon and this is all I see in Ca. Comes from being a cop for 30 years in this loony state.

I'm truly sorry you feel that way.
I understand why being a cop for 30 years could make one cynical, but that experience would not be unique to California. There are low- life's everywhere. It's the old glass half-full/half empty way of looking at life. I'm not blind to California's faults, but I prefer to stay here and do what little I can to try and correct some of them, and enjoy the good parts along the way.
A pic from Sunday's Bakersfield CA toy run. Over 5,000 bikers gave over $30,000 cash, plus several truckloads of toys and food to help those who need it. There are plenty of good people here but it's the bad ones that make the news.

I guess there aren't lowlifes anywhere else ? Like Texas, Maryland and the winner, (in this case) South Dakota.
United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that nine men have been arrested and federally indicted as a result of a sex trafficking undercover operation conducted during the 2013 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which ended August 11. All nine men were indicted for commercial sex trafficking.
The arrests were a result of investigations by the South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. All the defendants allegedly negotiated with law enforcement agents posing as pimps and agreed to pay for sex with underage girls ranging from 12-15 years of age.
Five of the defendants are from South Dakota, and four are from out-of-state.
Jerry Lane Golliher, age 31, of Rapid City, South Dakota
Eric D. Murphy, age 27, of Rapid City, South Dakota
John Miller, age 24, of Rapid City, South Dakota
Michael Francis Fox Jr., age 43, of Owings Mills, Maryland
Scott B. Falk, age 29, of Kenai, Alaska
Timothy Charles Gravens, age 54, of Grapevine, Texas
Miguel Angel Aguilar, age 19, of Brighton, Colorado
James Eugene Larive Jr., age 42, of Belle Fourche, South Dakota
Curtis Ray Austin, age 20, of Rapid City, South Dakota
