Since I didn't see it mentioned, this group is the same one that had SB 435 initiated and signed into law in Cali.
Don't be fooled into thinking they don't have some resemblance of clout. You state just may be next.
Just browsed the posts. Sirens aren't meant for your safety. They serve as a get fock out of the way device. They aren't as effective for the driver responding to the call as you think. Had a very eye-opening demonstration while going through "Emergency Vehicles Operation Class".
Stereo on, normal conversation, windows down, 35 mph. We weren't allowed to look back. We didn't hear the siren until the car was right next to and passing us. Scary when you think about it.

I have to agree with the thoughts of the OP. I've owned bikes with after market pipes but if I can hear a bike from two blocks away and it sounds louder than a jack hammer, it's too loud, and the rider is giving the rest of us a bad rap. There is some reasonable middle ground on this issue.

Loud Flatulence
Who else is tired of having to deal with people who can't control the volume of their flatulence in public? We need to lobby Congress to enact legislation mandating that everyone must have a noice reduction device affixed to their buttocks prior to leaving the house. Enough is enough.
