LOUD PIPES

[kimtart]

I'm a newbie. Just reading an older post about a noise by-law passed in Caledon, Ontario. One poster says: "Well, seeing as fines don't start till Oct 1 2011, it looks like we have all next season to see who can score the official record for the loudest pipes."
I live in the area and notice an increase in bike traffic and noise. Is there a competition for loudest pipes? Sometimes we hear a bike for 5 minutes after passing through our village. 8:30 this morning (Sunday) one guy had to have woken everybody in the whole town. Sheesh!

What's up? Loud pipes change by-laws.

:-\

Good. It's happening in Alberta too. I'm so sick of these cruiser bikes that are outta hand.

Considering I like the sound of motors, hearing them all the time wouldn't bother me. I just moved, but where I did live, I would hear trains every 20-30 mins honking their horns for 10 mins in intervals. Now.. waking up to horns? well.. that's just not pleasant.

im somewhere in between, i recently was reading about this bylaw and it seems sorta reasonable. My issue is I do like to hear my bike, now I think my bike is reasonable, and i think it will pass the caledon test. But there has been a valid point made about the cruisers, I think they have found a way to amplify there exhausts. I have been around bikes that actually hurt my ears, and just take things to a stupid new level of retardation. I donno how these guys don't get fined? I was once fined for a "hollywood style muffler" so i know it can be done,

That's basically what is sounds like down 17th ave here in Calgary. Bunch of morons who think it's cool to have the loudest bike.

Come on even those of us who like the sound of loud pipes have to admit there is a point when they cross from ridiculous to plain ludicrous. There will always be those guys who just can't use common sense. Fact of life.

"Loud pipes saves lives"? Imagine what learning to ride that thing could do for you.

South Park makes fun of Harley Davidson riders who are loud all the time. Pretty funny, you should watch it.
