This is honestly an entirely valid complaint. There are way too many motorcyclists who replace their mufflers with aftermarket ones that are illegally loud, in some cases loud enough to cause hearing damage to pedestrians.
I have a performance exhaust on my bike. It comes with a decibel reducer which I keep on for daily use, and remove for road trips. Making noise in urban areas is a 100% dick move.
As a friend likes to say: " Look! there goes a son of a bitch riding a noise"
I love it, I doubt I’ll ever get another bike but if I do that’s a great thing to know about.
They just need to keep defect ticket histories.
Third strike for the same defect on the same vehicle, you lose it. Fuck this ‘keeping a stock spare and swapping it in’ shit.
Why so soft?
The vehicle seems to loud -> perform a check -> if it is too loud, confiscate to have it examined and fine the driver -> if vehicle is found to have been tampered with using illegal parts, don’t return it and fine some more
Then bring it back into a legal state and auction it off anonymously
Incorporate noise muffler noise into hoon laws. Instant motorcycle crushing.
this is one very efficient litmus paper for identifying assholes
“let me ear rape a thousand pedestrians today and not feel a single drop of shame about it”
I once wanted a Harley. The name was synonymous with manliness and freedom.
Now I see that they only have the image of manliness, and the owners are people who need to be assured that they are manly.
If I ride again, I’m getting an electric bike.
Manliness lol.
Tiny peen industry.
Harley is synonymous with middle-age accountant weekend warrior.
Used to ride before arthritis took it. Fuck loud pipes, they don’t help you enough to justify the social burden if they ever help you at all.
I don’t ride either anymore, but it’s not that hard to just cover the horn while you’re around more dicey situations. I loved my CBR500 because it actually sounded like a car horn.
Meh, this is our life on Enmore Rd in Sydney on Friday and Saturdays nights until the early morning. Not sure if it’s already been designated an entertainment precinct but it’s meant to be. For some reason that attracts people with loud cars and bikes.
FYI: on YouTube links, only the first part of the link is needed. The question mark and everything after it is tracking data that identifies your account. You can delete the question mark and everything after it; your link will still work, but you won’t be feeding them tracking data when we click on it.
Thanks, friend!
Nearly.
There are multiple forms of YouTube links. Eg, for me, the above resolves to https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=MaumrkrJUYQAbdxy&v=ylhsbfQTPDQ&feature=youtu.be
The ?v=randomstuff is required. Anytime you see si=blahblah, or anything else, it is not required
@No1 @Rivalarrival yes, please. Always remove the si tracking bs.
There’s an android app called URLCheck that can strip unwanted bits off the end of urls and then open them as well.
Permitted noise should be inversely proportional to vehicle size (and legally, it kinda is). Too many idiots on the road that can’t see over their own bonnet.
Also, get off reddit. Especially that shithole of a sub. It’s probably full of drongos who take 2.5 tonne utes into school dropoff zones.
Same with all those stupid crackle tunes. I done see how it is compliant to ADR rules as they prescribe total noise limits ar certain RPM.
Sounds like someone is jealous…
I can’t grasp how anyone’s mind can go “I bet everyone wishes they could be as annoying as me!”
Most people stop being entertained by random loud noises when they pass the age of 6.
There’s literally a slew of jokes about harleys being an expensive way to turn large amounts of petrol into slow movement and fart noises
Harley Davidson, the tshirt company? They sell motorbikes?
Nah, mostly noisemakers and scooters for boomers
Yet you linked none of them!
Some fun ones here
No it isn’t, no one’s fucking jealous, you’re a goddamn road turd.
I tend not to be jealous of people making a racket but just want them to stop being an arse tbh
Why would anyone be jealous of being an obnoxious, inconsiderate douche nozzle?
BRAHbruhbruhbrubrubrub!
