Hey Zeno
Wake the F**k up, the loud motorcycles are going away. Towns, cities, States, and here in Canada "provinces" are making laws everyday and mandating quiet pipes.
When all that is left for you to ride is that Honda you hate so much you might realize the statements you are making are ludicrous.
Like everyone is sayin READ THE FREAKIN POST we all like the sound of a HD and great sounding pipes. There is just a time and place to be prudent that's all, we are not infringing on your rights, or dictating to you what to do, just trying to save motorcycling from being legislated in to extinction

 

oh man not this again, same ol tune geesh

 

I agree with the having loud pipes. My last bike had Sampson slashers. Obnoxious is a better word. I got pulled over for the while idling through a town a 5mph. I got a warning but was added to a "list" if caught again it was $300.00. All my bike always had drag pipes. Now I run a 2-1 that's not exactly quiet when I get on it. But when I want it to be it is. And it's legal everywhere.

And trucks have weight stations. They're more than that. They are inspection stations also. If they see or hear anything wrong they pull you in back. If they want a good look they pull you into a garage and spend hours (that makes us lose money) inspecting it. Get caught with open stacks you may be out of service. Not just a ticket but your parked until it's fixed. They also have DOT troopers that are out there with portable scales and also set up random smoke tests. TRUCKS ONLY. So bikes aren't the only thing that would be subject to being singled out. Smoke stops are more common that portable scales. But singling out a certain vehicle is not a new idea. They did it to trucks cause truckers were running overweight, turned up (asjusting the fuel to the motor) causing more air pollution. So in a sense they did it to themselves too.

 

Can't we all just get along

 

Big giant earthquake, state tumbles into the sea. All is right in the world.
