[QUOTE="tmc, post: 794060, member: 19408"] I didn't see happy rider's post. But Old Ryder hits it pretty much on the head. I DO blame LEOs, because they could nab these guys with or without a DB meter. If this happened enough, it would likely be an effective deterrent. It's selective enforcement - they choose to write the ticket, or not. As Rick said, if he can articulate why he feels the noise is above legal limits, it's entirely possible the judge will side with the LEO. As for the law - well this gives LEOs an effective tool to write a fix-it ticket, forcing the offender to return the bike to stock and get it signed off by a LEO, and paying the small admin fee/fine. It sucks that it has come down to this, but I think the brappp brapp and squiddy noise parade has brought it upon all of us. PS: there were no DB meters used when I got a ticket as a kid for too loud a car stereo, but I sure enough stopped playing it that loud.... [/QUOTE]
