Standard gearhead.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. I mean, 92dB at idle is a loud bike... and 100dB at 5,000rpm for 3 and 4cyl bikes is stupidly loud. As they said, its only intended so that bikes with straight-throughs or competition only type stuff doesn't pass. Personally, I find riding an extremely loud bike irritating.
Down my way I think the current ruling is 92~94dB at half of the revolutions that the bikes engine makes max power at. eg max power at 10,000rpm = test @ 5,000rpm.

Caledon is so darned small -- by the time you've made your noise, you're already beyond the city limits!

I think it's a good start and hope that other communities also do something............
The only problem is with enforcement.......look at the cell phone issue..there was a large push at the beginning but now how often do you see someone yapping on the phone or texting when driving......

Sorry my mistake -- guess I was confusing it with Caledon Village on Hwy 10, which I'd go through frequently up to Flesherton. Still lamenting the loss of Eddie Shack Donuts up there!
Aww Eddie Shacks. Such a sad loss for Caledon Village :'( Eddie used to get pissed drunk and torment the owners after he sold his name them haha. He even tried to ram his truck through the door once! And before it was a donut shop it was actually a strip joint! (like 25 years ago).
