My fucking 1300cc bus says 80db.. shit is way too quiet.. Think 108db will draw attention?

Where do I go to get my inspection?

i thought for sure this thing wouldnt pass, the governator being a biker supposedly, and he's on his way out. kinda like a big "screw u" cali bikers.

so...does that mean that theres no db limit on 2012 and older bikes?

Dude OEMs use 80db or less already. Why would it hurt them?

The aftermarket exhaust companies will suffer.....and those that put a can on a 2013 or newer bike.

It would hurt them because which bike would you buy, a 2012 or a 2013? Simple.

And fewer new riders are going to be interested in becoming riders after 2013, if they know bikes can't be modified. Unless they want to keep buying old bikes.

What the hell do noise levels have to do with the EPA?

What about air horns? 18 wheeler engine braking? Gun shots? Live music? Or the million other things that are way over 80db?
