Loud Bikes or quiet

[bluezedd]

absolutely quiet bikes for me. I'd say it's probably 90% likely that I wouldn't have ended up in court for speeding if I didn't have a race can on my 9R maybe 7 years ago.

I also realise that most folk don't like loud bikes or cars, especially the neighbours.

Definitely, but where's the fun in that

No, they are saying the existing noise limit is fine so don't reduce it.

Which is the same thing.

So again, keep it as it is and fk everyone else.

No, that would be getting rid of the existing limits.

Keep the existing limits and start enforcing them. Selfish idiots dealt with.

Tighten the limits to penalise responsible people who aren't disturbing anyone,. Selfish idiots unaffected.

That is already happening for Cars & Bikes within the EU.....

Anti Social "look at me" modifiers of bikes and cars, be they individuals or companies are being destructive to the freedoms we have in the UK over those more draconian countries.

Modified includes wheels, headlamps exhausts suspension etc....banned if not Orginal OEM part

(Guess who supports this....yep....the big manufactures who will expand their "tested" accessory range to clip more revenue off the back of the restrictions)

Cite and link to actual existing legislation (not proposals stretching back a decade at least) please.

Never had much faith in "the authorities" enforcing the noise regs.
Reached the point of having to take certain steps more than once, e.g. the Jap import Nissan with the 4 inch exhaust walking me up at 05.45each day. Silence was restored thanks to a jacket potato coupled with expanding foam. Funny enough his replacement silencer was pretty much silent.

So you advocate criminal damage?

I can't really see an issue with loud pipes - how many bikers ride around late at night causing a kerfuffle? Only the wkers on 125cc singles/L plates with straight through systems. I saw a KTM Superduke R yesterday with an Acra pipe, apparently no baffle. Sounded awesome!

One is one too many.

Why --do you think---the anti-social clatter farting out from the backside of a MBike is only a problem at night ?

We normally get at least 2 or 3 giving it the full beans after 10pm or 11pm.

You say "only the wkers" but that's the thing - nobody would think that they personally fall into the "wker category". Everybody assumes that what they're doing must be OK because after all, nobody considers themself to be a wker.

It's a bit like going on a bus with a ghetto blaster playing. "You" might think it's acceptable, "You" might think everybody else is looking at you in admiration. In reality it almost definitly won't be the case.

Well they have opened up Wales to all who care to come so now, from nice quiet afternoons in the garden, during lock down, I now have to listen to those middle aged men in power ranger outfits racing around the countryside again. I can here them coming from miles away, its really not a nice noise. Oh and a couple of them have even slowed down to ride through the village. No wonder the locals want speed cameras and extra police on the roads controlling them. Its not only Bikes there are plenty of kids in cars with popping exhausts who should also be fined. Why would you want your car to pop and bang on the over run?

Surely there is no need for exhausts this noisy.

I have just put a standard exhaust back on my CBR250RR to try and quieten it down a bit. I loved the sound with the carbon can it had before, and it was not excessively loud (still passed a Brands Hatch trackday with it on), but due to the fact you have to rev the nuts off it to make any progress I was feeling a bit conspicuous and don't want to draw too much negative attention.

I did get some last gopro footage of it yesterday before making the change though

By the time you posted this we had 14 pages on this thread with most posters saying that they think people with loud pipes are selfish, self centered, inconsiderate bds and you still can't see the issue with loud pipes? There's some significant irony in there!

You may have liked the sound of the KTM "post bafflectomy" but I'd be happy to bet that the vast majority who were forced to listen to it, were considerably less impressed.
