Default Loud Pipe BS Now in Canada

Well, sounds like the crackdown on loud pipes has started in Canada. The City of Edmonton in Alberta is set to start ticketing bikes with anything other than stock exhaust starting in July. They claim to be testing their equipment as we speak and will commence testing bikes shortly.

Apparently one city counciler attempted to get the by law amended to include ALL motor vehicles, as he felt that citing motrcycles alone was discriminatory. He was shot down by his fellow politicians who claim that cracking down on ALL motor vehicles was unenforceable.

How do you buy stock exhaust for a '82 Harley? Sounds pretty easy to beat in court.

Usually legislation like this sets a date, older than that date is grandfathered.

To show the lack of quality of our city council this is the latest from the cow who pushed the bike bylaw.

FYI, it's just moose. One of those weird words.
