Stop Loud Harley's

[Pete Franklin]

As spring approaches we have another chance to put a stop to Loud Annoying Harleys.This has gotten out of hand,They cut off the pipes or buy extra load pipes and then disturb the peace.If the police don't start doing something,I hear there are groups that will take action..somebody might get hurt.Riding cycles is about the fresh air,freedom,peace...not making as much noise as you can..Harley Riders are a bunch of egotistic babys looking for attention.

The loud harley pipes are annoying, especially when they have to grab three gears at full throttle just to go a block and stop for a stop sign. Monroe has a ticketing policy for straight pipes, I hope it passes onto other city and villages in the area.

We have many other things to worry about in this world that truly would make a difference for human life and you want to worry about loud Harleys buy yourself some ear plugs and worry about the important things that need real attention.

I hope they will start to outlaw loud pipes...there is no reason that they should not have a muffler system like cars...can you imagine what it would sound like if cars and trucks put straight pipes on.
Seems like a double standard...Harley people are scum bags and there woman are whores.

Sure there are a few bad apples that feel they need to be as loud as they can. But they will never be able to out law the bike noise as long as those loud tuner cars with the big loud can pipes are on the street. As far as Calling bikers scum and their wives whores. you better hope you are not one of those whose kids are in need of a toy during christmas or that your husband or boy friend doesn't come home from a war in a body bag and is need of the patriot guard. those loud pipes in may towns are a sound of respect and honor when we roll for toys for tots and to soldiers funerals.

I agree that the name calling is totally out of place, and will only serve to increase tensions between the Harley riders and those of us that choose not to ride loud bikes. However, the double standard concerning excessive exhaust noise MUST be addressed by the local authorities. There is no justification for allowing motorcycles, or any other vehicle for that matter, to run around with excessively loud exhaust. They can have the "sound" without being belligerently offensive.

I ride a harley and I like my bike loud. Who cares. Loud pipes save lives. What a hunk of shit. Oh well ill continue to ride my harley with my samson street sweeps rockin the neighborhood......what can they do.....

[Tammy]

Loud Bikes are stupid...No one drives a car with out a muffler,why is it legal for a cycle?...and guys and girls...no one thinks your cool when your making noise...you are laughed at.Harley riders are
a bunch of mama boy's looking for attention.

[tabor]

I cant stand Harleys because of the
loud pipes and the riders attitudes.
Law enforcement should start getting
on the ball and getting those loud
jerks off the road.
Cant go anywhere with out hearing one
of those noise polluters.

Loud pipes don't save shit. Harley passed me the other day and I didn't hear it in my car but right when it flew by me it almost scared the shit out of me and caused an accident. None of them enjoy there bikes and drive them out on "fun to ride county roads," but rather circle the blocks of populated areas repeatedly and say "look at me!" No one is impressed by the fact that you and every other scumbag in America has a Harley. If they weren't after attention they wouldn't put on a frickin' costume to go riding. Yes, I am sure your leather chaps will help you keep your frickin' ankle from snapping and the leather tassels on your handlebars somehow keep you safe too..You are all scum!

[harleyscum]

the loudness is propelled behind the bike not in front of it. Car's that might cut you scumbags off don't hear it. If you think maybe it got some kid out of the road who you would otherwise run over...than yes, I guess maybe the loudness saves lives.

[John]

Being smart saves lives! If you are stupid enough to think that "Loud Pipes Saves Lives" your time here is limited! Use your brain to save your life, use a muffler to save your hearing! And start caring about the quiet communities you "thunder through".... it's like second hand smoke "your rights stop where they intrude on mine!

Us people that ride motorcycles make them loud so that we can be heard since so many don't see us. Cyclist also do alot of other good things, like runs for benefits for adults and children with sicknesses and while those are being done we also spend our money in your towns. Please give it a break. Oh and we are not scum bags and our women are NOT WHORES , We are all hard working people that enjoy riding in the fresh air and enjoying life. Something you should try. Go ask your local tavern owners if they dislike seeing biker season.

[Sam Harley]

You people that are complaining are those we see working in your yards as we roll in. You are jealous because we're having fun and you are not. Our yard work is done and now we're enjoying the day. Go out and ask the local businesses in your city if they hate to see our harleys roll into there place. Get a life and leave us alone.

I think you want some attention. You need a life Pete, Scroll down and read my other post's. Us harley people come to different little towns to enjoy a nice day and ride and spend our cash. We like to pick a destination to ride, stop and have some food to eat and a refreshment and relax. Thats what we do on our day off. Each person easily drops a $10 bill off in your town. Do you think your business owners hate us ???

[Sam Harley]

I live on a very busy street in Rockford,IL and ride quite often into Wisc, and Iowa, I guess I could go somewhere and complain about those LOUD SIRENS on emergency vehicles that run by my house 24/7 .... I wish I only had a week-end noise problem on sunny days. You people need to give it up. Are you complaining about noise in general or just the fact that WE ARE ENJOYING SOMETHING ??

[naomi toh]

Sam Harley: You guys will enjoy the same and have the same amount of fun if riding with quiet or normal pipes, won't you?

This way you're happy, and we're happy.

Why do you have to build your extra happiness onto our painfulness?

The noise your loud pipes create are left to all the people and houses behind you while you guys are gone, we are the ones who suffer.

[Peter]

Why is it that you don't see Honda, Kawasaki, Triumph, Ducati (and virtually every other brand of bike)riders with straight pipes. It's only Harley riders and it's all about the badass image they like to project. The safety reason is a red herring and please don't conjure up images of rides for toys and military honour guards. It has nothing to do with the issue. Straight pipes are unlawful and and Harley riders should be pulled over by the authorities and ticketed if they are breaking this law!

[More Quiet not less Quiet]

1. One breath they say safety by saying loud pipes save lives which is un true.
2. If so safety concience then why would you not wear a helmet or a real helment not a world war one spiked helmet which meets no standards?
3. You can ride your bikes all you want. When you make noise now you infringe on my freedoms.
4. If loud bikes saved lives here is an idea: Why not have all vehicles not have mufflers in the US? Then the roads would be really safe.
5. It is all about one thing: "Hey look at me" goes for any pick up or car that puts on pipes.
6. Or as the old War War 2 vet to me said one time when I asked him "Simple things amuse simple minds"
7. They should all get tickets. I would get one for not having a muffler on my car, why? It is too loud.
