So all of you with open exhausts so loud that YOU wear ear plugs just keep open pissing off the sleeping giant...

All the problems facing this Country today, and some **** ant in NH gets his panties in a wad over pipes on bikes? STFU and get a life.

Glad I live in Ohio where you can choose to wear a helmet or not, legally carry a weapon to protect yourself from crack heads & dirtbags, and as long as you're not being a complete ***, LEO's have more important things to do than harrass you over your pipes.

I've also been living in the same neighborhood for over 20 years, have always had fairly loud pipes on my bikes, and my neighbors and I get along fine. Live and let live.

Mosly, but not entirely true. While in general most leo's tend to leave bikers along, there are a share of redneck anti-motorcycle crusader types that'll screw with you just because they haven't had a bank robbery for at least a half hour. I do neighborhood watch and see first hand what is happening. There will be fewer leo's in the long run or at least until the economy stabilizes out quite a bit. As the numbers diminish, the nuisance stuff tends to get put on the back burner. I've seen that here first hand. The odds of getting hasseled does diminish, but it doesn't go away. The sad part is that the whiners need to get themselves a block of cheese and chill out so that resources can be used where they're needed most, on criminals and crime and not sniffing my tail pipes to see what I can get ticketed for. Joe Bitch in BF, America, really needs to chill out and get a life, or at least a hobbie.

Still pretty "normal" in my area as well. I hope it will stay that way.

loud pipes have always and will always be a subject for people no matter what they do as long as the riders like me who have loud pipes don`t rattle them in town we will be ok, cops are not going to bother you if you don`t go crazy, just like jap bikes that sound like f4 racers and dodge diesel trucks with 10in pipes don`t raattle
