we were on Dickson st. (popular college town bar strip) last night and there were four officers with decibel meters checking all the bikes. We talked to one of the officers and he told us the city cousel was getting ready to pass a noise ordinance law and they were gathering readings to set the limit. He told us the sportbikes they had checked were all pretty quiet compared to the hardleys which, in his opinion, were incredibly annoying. He said if they set the limits where they want, most of the v-twins would be ticketed. As usual, there were 10 v-twins to every 1 sportbike, and I agree that it can become pretty hard to take when they start the who's loudest back and forth motor reving stuff, but damn! Another way to get a ticket, just what we need. They were gone by the time we left so I didn't get checked. I think I would be ok, my yoshies aren't too loud. I guess we'll see...?
