RE: Loud exhaust......local problems?

No problems in my neigborhood, and my husbands pipes are pretty loud.

I live in a culdesac that puts up with the middle house throwing parties
almost every weekend in the summer months and over
half the kids riding dirt bikes (a dirt bike at midnight is not quiet with a young rider).

We also have a little girl riding one of those tiny (but cute) little scooters
from sharper image....gonna end up running her over one day.

We also don't get outragous as we leave.

Guess the local chapter has gotten complaints ...cause the last thing
they say when you leave is to be quite until you hit the main drag.
They break up about 9 pm.....

I have not (and mine is LOUD) but I was told by the dealer that V Rods get loud quick, and that he had a guy come in to get straight pipes, left, and came back the next day to have his stock placed back on. Why? Got a ticket for the noise. I think if you're not stupid or unlucky, most cops will turn a deaf ear.

Just received a new issue of Enthusiast today, and on p.12 in an article entitled, "Don't Let It Come To This" they (the editors) state "As the issue of excessive motorcycle noise continues to affect the sport and the motorcycle industry, Harley-Davidson is taking a leading role in efforts to monitor and respond to the general public's growing concern." Part of MOCO's campaign features a pic of a Fatboy with it's tailpipes tied in a knot.

No tickets, no warnings, and no dirty looks, from the cops. I'm also not stupid and wack the throttle when driving thru small business districts.

My neighborhood, has tons of bikes. And a neighbor up the street rides quite a bit, but is very respectfull of the neighbors. The only time i really notice it is when he starts the bike, otherwise he just cruises down the street with a light throttle. Once he's on the main drag I can hear him open it up, but it's a big street. And it's known for the biker bars by the cops.

A little common sense (and common courtesty) goes a long way. No problems here.

Really don't think you know what you are talking about. The police aren't for sale in my area we don't hastle the riding public because most of us ride and understand about helmets; PIPES etc.: The area's that do hastle the bike community do so because of ignorant selfish assh*&^ that don't respect themselves much less anyone else. If the PO-PO don't hastle you, then you should be thankful that you have some good guys that respect YOU. I personnally feel that your statement cheapens the men and women of lawenforcement. It is ludicris to believe that a department could be bought for the price of a cheap ticket.
