As stated, in Calif it is illegal to modify the exhaust on ANYTHING in any way. How do the car dealers get away with "Cat-Back" Flowmasters and all the rest?

If they need to outlaw something, why not all the little sh**bag wanna be thugs and the loud dunka dunka dunka music?
And their stupid little jap cars w/modif exhaust ??!!

Same thing here on the East coast. Often you can hear the music bass from over a block away. No one does a damn thing. And the rice burner cars that sound they are a rocket taking off? Of course no one says anything about them either.

Discrimination against motorcyclists is older than most of us think.

Someone said on the news this morning that Arnold signed the bill. It was on Fox Business News and of course they were bashing bikers with loud pipes like that is the only problem Cal has.

How many people have died because of loud pipes. How many people have died because of idiots texting, talking on a cell, putting make up on while driving.

Looking forward, 2012 bikes will be the last of a good year to buy if you ride in Ca. For parts in 2013, Nevada is only an hour away.

It would be so sick to have straight pipes on everything. I bet even city buses would be like music. You could just go and sit by the freeway and be entertained. And the echo in the the city would be something else. Those liberal *** just want to take our right from us.

As someone else stated in another post, the US usually follows california when dealing with EPA.

Think about it, 6-8 years ago there were "Cali" bikes and "49-state" bikes

Now there are just 50 state bikes. It is because they meet EPA that cali started....

Isnt that- 2013- the same year the next epa standards are in....
