QUIET = DANGEROUS
'Loud' is a relative term...loud enough to be noticed is one thing, but loud enough to rattle windows or totally disturb the peace is another thing.

Never been pulled over for excessive noise on either bike. I hope Washington state stays as they have always been on noise....No problems unless your a jack-***.

why would you rev a bike at the lights????

More and more I'm thinking about how nice it would be to live in Arizona.

I'll never leave....

It's sucks between July and Sept as the humidity is pretty nasty. But we ride 360 days a year out here.

5 days is usually monsoon season and you can't see across the street because of wind/dirt/mud/rain.

I've never been pulled over for any of my bikes being too loud...I usually run no baffles with just a lollipop for back pressure on all my carbed bikes.

The new EFI King i'm running Thunderheader Thundercones, they're pretty loud but not loud enough.
