This all reminds me of something.

Have you ever noticed when your walking through a parking lot up to a store the guy that does not stop for you is the same guy that gives you "you better f*cking stop" look?

 

No, what you propose is harassment. A purposeful, vengeful act is harassment. Someone being annoying is someone being annoying - that is all.

Enacting targeted "laws" at annoying people is discrimination. For example, I find squealing kids in public places very annoying. A law requiring a muzzle that restricts the squeal to a certain level would be discriminatory if it were not applied to ALL people in public places.

 

As a non US based follower of this forum I am always mildly amused by how quickly these posts degenerate in to a "Liberal" vs "conservative" debate. I have spent a lot of time in the States and have a half reasonable understanding of the political climate. Are these issues actually on the local party tickets??

personally, as a machine designer who is used to working within factory constraints of 80dB being noisy, 106 sounds really excessive. What is the difference between being excessively noisy in public or blowing smoke in someones face. 106dB will damage hearing

 

That's a good analogy. Now imagine if the law allowed kids to squeal at 106db. You'd be pissed off, wouldn't you?

 

It doesn't take 106db to **** me off... I start around 25-30db.

My point is that everybody has an annoyance threshold. Some are just more obnoxious about their displeasure than others.

 

That's because as soon as they have no argument anymore, they start acting like 5 year olds and call people names. Like they actually know everyone's political views?

 

I'm really sorry that I brought this whole subject up!! It was just a simple question.

 

Get the screamin eagl mufflers. They sound good and have the epa permit stamped on the bottom for FLT fitment and noise standard.

 

I think that we agree on choices of bikes!! Oh, but mine is black

Please don't hate me

your right it is a give and take. I have friends that ride with drag pipes and they are considerate for the most part. It seems like some places are worse than others. around here there can be 150 bikes roll through town on a saturday. Nobody much complains because most bikers here are local, even the Police Chief rides an Ultra

And he's my neighbor

Let's just ride!!

Here's a link about noise laws being proposed all over the country. The only thing I could see about Michigan had to do with a town trying to regulate stereo's in cars.
