I'm all about supporting peoples freedoms. Freedom comes with responsibility. For too long a lot of people have complained that various bikes have way too loud pipes. I know certain people who want to have the pipes be as loud as possible. To some, there is no such thing as loud enough, much less too loud. I have heard many say in response to noise complaints, too bad. You're too old or, it's mine and I'll ride it the way I want to. That's all fine and dandy as long as you're the only one who has to hear it. The fact is you're not. To some in the loud, louder, loudest pipe noise makers, you aren't your own best friend sometimes. You can't possibly be surprised that some are coming, with the force of law, to do what you wouldn't. Noname

I must have some brain cells working today, because that made sense.
Made me think! It's from a saying that I believe I saw here on HD forums. The "and I said nothing" part is what woke me up!

I used to shoot with some of the LEO in our area,, the city of Bloomington (Mpls Sub) has noise enforcement signs up and I asked one of their officers about it, he said, it was because to many of the drivers didn't have the brains to keep their bikes and cars quiet while running though town.
Sometimes ya reap what ya sow.
Its not about your freedom, its about everybodies.

This is a great example of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.
The ASSemble person that introduced this AB originally just doesn't like loud noise period. If you google the bill you will also find out that she is part of "group" (not many members I might add but very well connected) that think if you front door creaks you should be fined.
Then you have to take into consideration how many riders are there in our government? Not enough to matter. Once again it would be if you scratch my back I'll scratch yours scenario.
"IF" everyone that is now going ah crap had taken time to write their reps maybe it wouldn't have gone this far. Maybe we should now try hitting up Mr. Shriver and ask him to veto it. JMHO
