If you want a quiet bike ride jap. It's all or nothing here, the bike laws will just get tougher if we let them.

A R I Z O N A - The wild wild west, Hell.... we're still a territory basically. We gaurd our own borders, carry guns in banks, no helmet laws and we're trying to kill the motorcycle emissions laws. If city busses can leave a 30 second exhaust vapor trail and all... a little *** motorcycle isn't going to hurt the ozone in any way.

New York can change all the laws they want.

I'll never live there because the people talk funny.
You need loud pipes to drown that **** out. LOL

We just need stats on how many pedestrians have been killed by quiet bikes....

I doubt that there any stats of how many bikes have been taken out with quiet vs loud pipes but I could be wrong!

I usaually hear a harley comin up behind me when I am ridin but them metrics skeer me! I hate stock pipes!!!

Seems like you believe everything else you are told.

Loud pipes, do not save lives. If you believe they do, you are delusional or stupid, or maybe both. There is a small percentage of bikes with pipes so loud they are making life difficult for all of us.
