New Hampshire to Ban Loud Exhaust Pipes

>> Tuesday, February 08, 2005

The Associated Press reports that the Legislature in New Hampshire is considering a bill that will outlaw motorcycles with exhaust pipes or engines that produce more than 110 decibels of sound.

Police said the measure would make it easier to enforce noise limits at events like Laconia's annual Bike Week. But enthusiasts said louder engines make a bike flashier and safer because others can hear the machine coming.
To me, this sounds like the government is not making enough money from the popularity of motorcycles, so they create laws that allow police to write more tickets.

What an utterly ignorant point of view. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's the common citizen who is fed up with your exhuasts? It's not just a way for the government to get more money, that's rubbish. Consider the people who get woken up by your loud exhaust pipes at 2 in the morning. They have to get up in the morning to go to work, not like you louts who think noise is "flashy", you go round on these rediculous machines that you bought using daddy's credit limit. Morons.
