Why would any freedom loving American live in this police state? - TD ('08 HD Softail Nightrain rider)

My favorite sounds: harley, diesel locomotive, startup of large radial aircraft engine like those on the DC6, to a lesser extent the muscle cars of the 60s.

Loud pipes save lives

"The noise caused by illegally modified motorcycle exhaust systems is a major quality of life issue across the state," said state Sen. Fran Pavley, a Democrat from Agoura Hills

Tell you what, Fran - how 'bout you go to the next Harley rally there and explain your position to those most directly affected.

Let us know how that turns out.

Well, this thread confirms my theory that nearly every American is pissed at something. Good! I hope we can channel that anger to form a skirmish line from the Canadian border to the Rio Grande and drive every damn liberal into the sea. The staging area is on the east coast and muster begins at O dark-thirty on Nov. 2.

See you in hell, liberal scum.

1 the stamp would melt

2 there is a federal etching UNDER the bike

3 the reason aftermarket bike pipes have disclaimers is because each individual bike has to be tuned

4 even straight pipes can be tuned to comply

so

this is just a way to have pretext stops or is unenforcable

and

just more money for a dead department of california.

Maybe folks don’t like to be jerked out of a deep sleep by some moron roaring past his house in the middle of the night. I promise not to let my dogs yap at the moon all night if you promise to quiet your bike down.

Posts about loud bikes has the same effect on Free Republic as Sarah Palin has on the Republican establishment. It really smokes out the cry babies.

Look at all the Freedom loving “Don’t tread on me”, smaller government, less intrusive restrictions to liberty, Constitutionalists defend the larger government, more intrusive, restriction on someone else’s freedoms and liberty when it suits them! Amazing.

The occasional loud bike or plane doesn’t bother me (I live under the approach to IAD runway 1R) but living in the DC area near I-66, too many Memorial Day Holiday weekends have been ruined by all the Rolling Thunder noise. I tried one year getting away to Myrtle Beach that weekend...oh yeah, Black Bike week... I’ve had it and they can pass all the laws they want now. Probably won’t accomplish anything anyway but I just don’t care if lawmakers do something to try to reduce that noise.

These guys aren't going to be happy.

Loud Harley’s are like little kids that put playing cards in the spokes of their bicycles. Nothing more. Just a bunch of dumb attention-whore kids.

What about irresponsible people who have hugely LOUD parties? These people impinge on my rights to enjoy my home. My rights to a peaceful existence.
