I've borrowed a dB meter, going to see how far over I am. Pretty sure I'm only allowed 94 or 95dB, guessing I'm over 100 at the moment. Supertrapp would be ideal. Might just wait till I get pinged to deal with it!

If you get 3 defect notices on your bike, your VIN is cancelled and the bike can't be registered again in that state. Bloody ****'s.

Too hard to fight it....

I just got my Noise notice in the post after a stop on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria Aus. Have to present the bike for a test!! My pipes wont pass, even though they are much quieter than quite a few. Im looking at going standard too. They just want to take us all off the road I think. My bike is insured and fully road worthy (sound aside) I also work for local government and am on the wrong side of 45, but after a full licence, breatho, lights check etc, they just waved me on and sent the noise test through the post. Its just getting too hard.

Looking around at the moment for a set of stock pipe. Sadly, they will probably stay on
