Almost everyday there is a news report related to motorcycles and riders, everything from scarey road rage incidents, riders down and accident reports and my all time favorite, noisy exhaust legislation!
It's a great country we live in - we have education, employment, health care and social assistance (such as it all is) and it is SO much more than many others can even dream to have.
Consider Libya and Muammar Gaddafi!
So with all of this, we can now focus on the important things in life, such as bikes with a loud exhaust. Sure, it's loud, offensive and sure there is always at least dumbass who will give an extra "rev", (whether they are on a Harley, a street bike or a metric cruiser - doesn't matter) but is it really worth making another law to control someone just because you don't like it?
I don't like flip flops and Crocs. I honestly think they incredibly offensive, unhygienic and the sweaty, sticky, splash flip scuff flop sound is simply disgusting! What about those ladies who marinate in artificially scented spray on deodorant, leaving an ephemeral fog behind in their travels, (think soap please)?! But this is certainly not something to make a law for!
Consider also the other vehicles and equipment used in and around our communities, city buses are freaking loud! Heavy truck engines are loud! The guy cutting the grass with a gas powered trimmer was loud this morning too! Don't forget the red neck "sport" pick up truck with a set of duallies and glasspacks, or some jap scrap "tuner" with an apple on the back end - all just pleasant sounds yes?
Come on, we have other things to more concerned about then to be offended by some guy on a bike with a loud set of pipes, time to get real.
