Loud Pipes Do Save Lives

Damn, I am glad I don't live there (wait a minute, I do!)
Thanks to Loud Pipes, there has never been a death or injury in this City. Despite the help of the AMA and Lawyers, our State Supreme Court ruled the ban Legal.

RE: Loud Pipes Do Save Lives
It's not all that surprising. Condo & Home Owners associations are private entities and their grounds (land, streets & sidewalks) are private property in most cases. That leaves them free to do as the majority of the association members see fit. As sad as it is, it's the individuals fault if they bought there without throughly reading the association documents.
The same kind of regulations often apply to pick-up trucks, commercial vehicles, boats on trailers, etc. in these private communities.

Guy I know lives in a 'development' just south of Kansas City, that is controlled by a Home Owners Association....
He isn't allowed to park his pickup truck in front of his house (has to leave it in his garage when it's not being used), and they wouldn't even allow him to put up a basketball pole/net in front of his house...
Don't know why anyone would live in a place like that.... I wouldn't last a week beforeI did something and ended up being thrown in jail...
I'm use to being out here in the boondocks where you can do what you want..

I wouldn't want to live in a "hood" like that either. Happens all the time though, anymore. Gotta be careful where you buy your home, and decide to live. I don't think that this article was so much about loud pipes as it is about being told what is allowed and what is not allowed of where you live.

RE: Loud Pipes Do Save Lives
Commom sence would of course dictate courtesy when operating a noisey vehicle within city limits,it would seem to me that the individual offender should be targeted andnot a comlete ban on motorcycles.
In our particular case the C&Rs where amended to ban motorcycles some twenty years after the community was built.

Lots of neighborhoods have convents restricting certain activitys, mine for instance no garbage cans, lawn equiptment, clothes lines ect, outside. Minimum sq footage and so on.
I didn't want a 3 car yard or a neighbor that wanted one!
I read the convent rules before I built, keeps the rift raft out and property values stable.

RE: Loud Pipes Do Save Lives
Thankfully, my homeowners association doesn't have much power. Then did however, complain about my Jeep being an abandoned vehicle. So, now every weekend, I get it out, and drive it around the sub-division, waving at all of the neighbors. One of them also complained about my pipes. Dumbass, complained to the Motorcycle Cop that lives in the neighborhood. Cop told em he thinks my pipes sound GREAT!!! LOL.
