Remember how........

Remember how there was an argument of if people can complain about our systems then why not ticket motorcycles (harley's and such). Well, I just saw on the news that they are ticketing them too now, if you are riding a loud motorcycle you can be ticketed $50. And the loud music thing has always been a thing. Its in Annapolis right now, but it will probably spread no doubt.

Annapolis, MD -- Police in downtown Annapolis are cracking down on noisy vehicles and music and if you don't turn it down, you'll be fined 50 bucks!

The downtown area is a favorite spot to dine, see the sights, or just hang out and police say as summer arrives, so do noisy motorcycles and car stereos and they say it disturbs local businesses and residents.

The law apparently says that if an officer can hear you from 50 feet away, you're likely to get a citation.

Police do insist that the city's many motorcyclists are welcome downtown, but it's only when bikers remove or alter the muffler to make them louder that it becomes a problem.Annaplois police are warning bikers against altering their mufflers to make them louder

Some women save lives also... does that mean we should have to put up with their bullshit all the time?

I happen to like the sound of a loud bike. I also like a loud stereo.

As long as you dont sit in one place and rev your engine, who cares.

I start caring when every dumb shit in my town that has pipes feels the need to floor it after every stop and random times while driving down the street.

They can have their loud pipes... just take it easy on the throttle while they're downtown. Loud pipes are not annoying unless the driver really lays into the gas, and the pipes really start to sing. I live about roughly 1/4 mile from a major road (as the crow flies), and there are several times a day that I can hear bikes loud and clear.

Thats incredibly stupid. There were several instances that I know of where careless drivers were not paying attention and the pipes made the motorcyclist more 'noticeable'.

I dunno, its just my thought I guess.
