I’ll start this post off with a fact which I feel is simple, accurate and the truth. If you do something which offends the majority of people you are looking to have the offensive thing restricted or removed. If you’ve heard about such things being restricted elsewhere you should be seeing the writing on the wall.


I’m talking about sport bike exhaust. (And forgive me if this gets “preachy”).


I like motorcycles so I won’t be going to the police or picking up the torch against them. I live between the 410 and #10 in Brampton along but not close Sandalwood and have to tell you it is only a matter of time before opposition gets the ear of the local do good Politician.


I’m not really sure how the owners of these super loud machines put up with noise, I’m sure it’s cool but after a half hour of driving – come on.


At my house in the early hours of the morning I’m left wondering if any of these bike owners have the conceptual ability to understand how needlessly loud their machines are and how far the noise produced by their machines travels in the areas they drive near. An intelligent person understands the world they live in and the effect they have in it.


Maybe if I put it another way… Part of what makes sport bikes so good is there power and speed… None of the do goodies like you to do all those bad things you do with your sport bikes and no matter what you think your insurance costs reflect the many bad things done by your sport biking peers (you know who you are).

I won’t even mention the want to be’s with the fold-up license plates I’ve seen around. UH!


Please stop ruining a good thing. If your bikes new megaphone exhaust pipe sounds like an F1 car – it’s too loud.
 
east markham is pretty bad too...its turning into the new brampton.
 
It's not loud pipes that are the problem, it's idiots who ride hard and rev the **** out of their bikes late at night or during the day in residential areas. I have a very loud bike as well and love it, but I always keep it quiet in residential areas and evenings, by riding in higher gear and lower rpm.

It's the inconsiderate scumbags that are causing this problem, not loud bikes.
 
I live by 427 right between 401 and qew and theres a beautiful stretch thats 3 lanes wide going north with no way on or off and on a regular basis this area is used for guys to top out their bikes lol
its music to my ears every night to which i fall asleep hahaha
 
Question. Do you have a young child at home that keep's waking up at night because of the loud noise?

I’m talking your post OP. (And forgive me if this gets “preachy”).


I like whining and nagging on forums too so I won’t be going to the mods or picking up the torch against you. I live between the here and there in Markham along but not close Highway 7 and have to tell you it is only a matter of time before opposition gets the e-mail of the local do good Mod.


I’m not really sure how the naggers of these super loud posts put up with their posts, I’m sure it’s cool but after a half hour of typing – come on.


At my house in the early hours of the morning I’m left wondering if any of these whinny members have the conceptual ability to understand how needlessly long their posts are and how far the annoyance produced by their posts travels in the forums they post in. An intelligent person understands the forum are a part of and the effect they have in it.


Maybe if I put it another way… Part of what makes bike forums so good is their members who own bikes and do not nag… None of the do goodies like you to do all those bad things you do with your posts and no matter what you think your annoyance costs reflect the many bad things done by your nagging and whining peers (you know who you are).

I won’t even mention the want to be’s with the accounts with very few posts I’ve seen around nagging/complaining. UH!


Please stop ruining a good thing. If your tolerance for sport bike aftermarket exhausts is low, deal with it – certain cruisers come like that stock and may be louder...don't forget the ricers...and your post - it's too dumb.
 
Wait wait wtf, sport bikes?

There' are at least a dozen bikes in my neighbor hood, half of them are sports or sport wannabes (Ninja 250s, mine, CBR125s). The other 1/4th are actually sport bikes, and the rest of them are choppers or cruisers. You know which ones I hear the most? The choppers and cruisers.

I may be deaf on one ear, but I can still hear volume differences.
 
I live 500 meters from the intersection of Hwy 410 and Sandalwood Pkwy. We can hear cars and bikes that sound as loud as Formula One cars all the time, at all hours of the day. You are right, its only a matter of time until a law gets put in place that would restrict the db's.
 
Let me start my reply with a fact and honesty as well.
It is a fact that most "Sport bike" exhausts do pass noise regulations for any track venue.
Therefore they will pass any roadside testing equipment the police decide to throw at them.
Secondly.
It is the non resstricted "Harley Davidson" motorcycles that are more offensive because they seem to have no restriction and tend to mount straight through pipes that are way louder than most sport bike riders.
I ride with my completely stock exhaust. There are quite a few of us that leave them alone.
In my lifetime, I have seen very few Harley's with stock exhaust.

Go tell your problem to President Obama.
 
As I type this, a second thought just came to mind.
I am currently in Montreal. Just last night I saw an offensive sign
It had a motorcycle in a circle with a strike through it, and it read, No motorcycles afer a certain hour????????
I didn't think this was legal in Canada?????

not every sport bike passes the track testing...

the problem is all bikes that have modified exhausts, not just straight pipes.

It's no different than a "No Trucks" sign here in Ontario.

Yeah, but why no motorcycles? If it's because of noise they're implying that all motorcycles are loud, which obviously isn't the case and there are plenty of loud cars. It's a form of discrimination, plain and simple.
 
Easy on the hate for sport bikes! As previously stated by a few others already, if you're stating facts, you shouldn't center out the SS riders. Cruisers with stupid loud pipes are the bikes that prevent me from hearing my television in my living room. Cruisers with ridiculously loud pipes are the ones that prevent me from hearing the music coming from my ear buds when listening to my iPod as I run down highway 10!

Not all trucks are loud either. Just "many" are, and that forms a basis to restrict them from various areas either all the time, or during various times of day. I've seen "No Trucks" signs with time restrictions intended to keep trucks away during heavy traffic times in order to improve traffic flow. I've also seen them on mainly residential roads (country and city) with time restrictions against night time use in order to give local residents some reasonable "quiet time" for sleeping.

As soon as a given vehicle class with limited numbers is identified as having "many" of them posing a particular kind of nuisance, it becomes very easy to pass either an absolute or time-of-day prohibition against them. That includes motorcycles and trucks. Neither vehicle class constitutes a significant portion of road users, and each vehicle class includes a noticeable portion that for various reasons would be reasonably considered to be a "nuisance".
 
A loud sportbike usually doesn't stick around too long...

So... are you playing devil's advocate here or do you agree with towns being able to ban motorcycles? Someone going from point A to point B should be allowed to do so in a car but not on a motorcycle? **** a bag of that, complete and total ********.

I find its a matter of what irritates you more: your teeth vibrating for the several seconds of the sport bike racing along; or your head pounding, dishes falling off the table, dog running for cover, conversation stopping for the three minutes it takes for the posse of cruisers to take off from the stop sign.

I tend to find option B the more annoying.

Even loud trucks don't travel in packs and take all afternoon to get moving. They're only annoying in the tenor range for a few moments.

Neither does a loud truck.

Someone in a car shouldn't be able to do it eithe, but there's way more cars on the road than motorcycles or trucks.

Cars are considered to be the standard mode of transport for residents on any given street. Banning them from a given street isn't going to happen anytime soon. Also, if you want to look at numbers, out of a hundred cars vs a hundred bikes, how many of each are out there with exhausts modified to be as ridiculously-loud as found on many bikes, sport bike or cruiser? Even when a car does have a modified exhaust, rarely is it ever as loud as a straight-piped or cut-down-can bike.
