What's scarey about the new California legislation is that no one seems to know what all it will cover yet or how it will be interpreted.
It's not too surprising that they finally passed something in the way of legislation. The Harley guys have been riding with straight pipes and rattling windows for years and getting away with it. My Harley owner neighbor two blocks away used to have big parties at his house and his buddies would leave at 1:00 or 2:00 AM during the week, rapping out their straight pipes as loud as they could when they departed. I can only imagine what neighbors had to say to the local police after a few of those events.
Reducing back pressure to let the bike breathe is a good thing, but making them so loud that neighbors complain is not helping our image at all.
