Motorcycle noise too loud for some cities

| | Comments (0) |

motorcycle.jpg States nationwide are cracking down on motorcycle noise, raising concern among local bikers that their noisy pastime could be stifled if California cracks down, too. Get the story HERE.

As of July 1, riders in New York can get slapped with $440 in fines for screaming mufflers. Those revving their engines too loudly in parts of Pennsylvania can get $150 tickets.

Some bikers in California are reporting more fines these days for loud motorcycles but argue that police are unfairly calling the shots without an instrument to measure the noise.

What do you think? How should this be handled? Tell our blog.
