Maybe the officer shared your excellent taste in music. Cranking up The Who is an easy mistake to make and entirely understandable

Only a dull and boring note, I am always anxious about "too loud, too heavy" as it affects riding style and concentration - but that is just me being a boring old fart. Rock on

Pulled over for a loud radio? WTF! You need to put some pipes on that bike to drown out your radio.

I got a warning for playing ZZ Top 'Nationwide' too loud a few weeks ago. He told me he would have ticketed me had I been playing 'rap-crap too loud...

I think that Dan's point is that he doesn't like being forced to listen to other people's loud activities.

I took the Advance Rider's ERC this summer. It was taught by an anti loud pipe LEO. He claimed that deer were not scared by loud pipes and that you could scare them better with loud music. I think he is wrong on both counts.
