Has anyone gotten a ticket in NYC or know or heard someone getting a ticket for loud exhaust. I have the SE II but I haven't ridden in the city much this summer. $440 is a pretty hefty ticket.[:@]

--As of July 1, riders in New York City are subject to a minimum $440 fine for having a muffler or exhaust system that can be heard within 200 feet.

Dont worry they are going after Jap Crap

NYPD wont bother HDs because so many of them have them

They are targeting the Urban Crotch Rocket Pilot

Just pick up the paper , guys getting thrown off the bikes , over bridges doin over 100 mph Etc.

 

they are crakin down on non-DOT helmets

 

Ridiculous.... I'm curious to know if anyone has been written up for this yet....

 

Hey Nynicket, are you getting any hassle for the Big Radius pipes in NYC? I have them on my Fatboy and wouold like to visit NYC but since this issue came up I've been thinking it twice.

 

I have that same article in todays local paper.It was probaly printed in thousands of papers across the country.Once people read it,it'll give them something else to bitch about!As long as you are not bringing attention to yourself,you shouldn't have any problems with LEO's.

 

Most likely you WILL NOT be stopped for a helmet or loud pipes unless your being an asshat.Once you give the cop a reason to suspect you may be worthy of the time to stop you,you can bet you will be stopped.
Its like cell phones and seat belts,they wont stop you for them unless they might be able to find something else going on.Just dont be a dick and you will be OK

 

Bikers, regardless of type of ride, have been hassled all summer at two places that I know of personally.
Friday nights at Coney Island, is one.
There have been roadblocks set up on the Belt Parkway east bound right past exit 9.
They're check for proper paperwork and D.O.T. helmets.
I haven't heard anyone complain about pipes though.
Improper papework gets you bike a ride on a flatbed to the pound.
Not DOT helmet gets ya a ticket.

 

In reading the paper today it said that in Denver they are going to check to see if you have your OEM pipes on.

 

id like to find out more about this im planning to be part of a 9/11 ride from boston to new york ,i got straight pipes and dont need the hassle or the fine .
