MORE NOISE ABOUT NOISE -MOTORCYCLE PIPES


Here is some more information that we got by going to the AIM/NCOM website on other states that are really trying to change the laws as far as the motorcycle pipes are concerned.  People wake up and smell the coffee.  We just  posted about what the EPA is doing, they are all banding to together to screw us.  Please pass on the information, contact your local and state representatives, any motorcycle organization you belong to and let's make our voices be heard because they are about to silence our pipes.  "MY PIPE IS MY VOICE"-Krupt Mob MC NYC.  And this is so true when we are riding.

Here is the article from AIM/NCOM website:

MORE NOISE ABOUT NOISE
Across the country, more and more communities are exploring efforts to silence noisy motorcycles, but in Maine a bill that began as a broad measure to cut back on loud pipes has evolved into a proposal to force motorcycle riders to display vehicle inspection stickers on their bikes.

During hearings, the House Transportation Committee connected the noise problem to reports that nearly 40% of Maine motorcycles aren't inspected.  Faulty and noisy mufflers would fail motorcycles in annual inspections, so the measure was amended to require an inspection sticker be visibly affixed to the rear of the bike either on a mounting plate or on a rear fender or frame.

The bill, which also calls for a study of motorcycle noise, has received initial House approval but still needs to be approved by the full House and Senate.

A Racine, Wisconsin city panel has voted 4-0 recommending a newly written ordinance that would create a $100 fine plus court costs for "disorderly conduct with a motor vehicle." It would outlaw, in a motorized vehicle, "violent, dangerous, abusive, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct."  That would include: squealing tires; revving an engine; unnecessarily blowing a horn; sudden veering or acceleration; and popping wheelies on a motorcycle.

I'm with the outlawing of the wheeling on public streets because that is very dangerous and I'm all for the burning of the tire banning because it stinks and it doesn't make any sense to me and it pollutes the air.  Motorcyclist of Racine, Wisconsin read between the lines with what they are trying to do.  What they are trying to do is enact a very broad ordinance.

The Culpeper Town Council Ordinance Committee has recommended that the Virginia municipality repeal its existing noise ordinance because it is legally unenforceable in light of recent court decisions.  "The ordinance can't be enforced the way it is written," Mayor Pranas Rimeikis said of town noise regulations that rely on "a reasonable person" finding a sound too noisy.  (In NYC  they went back to the drawing board several times trying to rewrite the law and get it right)

The town's movement to repeal its ordinance, and possibly replace it with a decibel-based measurement, is based on a Virginia Supreme Court ruling from last April that found a similar ordinance in Virgina Beach was unconstitutionally vague.  In January, the Supreme Court upheld the state court's decision, denying a review of it as requested by the city.

So as we can see people this is where the EPA comes in to the rescue for these various cities, towns and states.  Once they set the standard then it becomes law.

And these are the people we have elected to office as TAX PAYING UNITED STATES CITIZENS! Are you reading what they are saying?  STAND UP AND BE HEARD!!
