Sorry..I know I'm A minority here but I agree with Roadie. The AMA says that loud pipes are the number one problem today with motorcycles and mc legislation. There is a main drag here in Tulsa called Brookside. Lots of shops and restaraunts and bars. There are few restraunts and bars that bikers like to go to. Lots of straight pipes and noise. The residential neighbors have been complaining and the cops are starting to ticket bikers if they are too loud. It's causing a little controversy. Don't get me wrong. I like the sounds of the old Triumphs and took two baffles out myself but it can get out of hand and may eventually effect us all.
