Just seen on BBC news, Hampshire police are trialing ‘noise camera’s’ in a bid to crack down on vehicles creating excessive/antisocial noise levels. I automatically thought ‘big four stroke’ 4 into 1 pipes, but two strokes with expansion pipes will surely be affected ☹️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48564995 |

Back in the day my first LC had factory pipes, when I sold it/started to look for another, that came with Allspeeds so a step up in loudness. I refused to ride one with Microns fitted, they did seem too loud to me. |

It's all relative, an open end can Z1000 on full chat will be noisy, but pootling along in top at 50mph quite as a mouse. However a scooter with an expansion pipe will be loud all the time as it's so slow it needs caining all the time. An LC will be somewhere in the middle. The MOT should pull bikes with a noisy pipe, however my MOT tester never actually starts the engine during the test ?? As with all enforcement cameras you end up knowing where they are and react appropriately. If a noise camera is in a built up area and it makes people shut off then that's a good thing. NIMBY
What do they do about this ?

Yeah that's right
Countries gone to shite, knife crime , rapes, terrorism, can't get in to see the doctor, NHS waiting times etc
I know let's introduce noise cameras
Let's import a few guillotines !!!
Must admit though when I hear a noisy car go by, I think chav t**ts but when a noisy bike goes by, I think that sounds great LOL |

I don't mind noisy cars/bikes as long as 2 things are met
1) it's not getting it's tits ragged off repeatedly in residential areas, that's just a t**t
2) it's not a massive loud exhaust on a 1 litre car (or moped) that ain't got no power and doesn't go fast but makes a lot of noise (30s in each gear) they just sound like t**ts
When I was young I stayed in a flat and the bedroom used to back onto the local ring road just passed a roundabout
There was a lad that must have lived at the bottom of the road who would come home in the early hours on his spannie clad rd
Didn't annoy me, only thought "go on lad" as he rung it's neck coming off the roundabout.
Similarly like a scoobie/cossie or nice v8 getting hammered
Spotty t**t in a Corsa - No thanks

Still fancy twin peashooters of the café build Dusty Totally acceptable in my book Think of the cost savings too No cans to buy 😎 When younger I took the cans off the micron power pipes on my ypvs and took it round the ring road. I thought it was loud riding it. Came back and my mates were pishing themselves. Could here me for miles 🤣 Steve |

There is a lad who goes past my house at 5.00 every morning on a R125 with no end can at full chat, can hear him for a couple of mins as he howls off down the bypass.
I want to break his silly little legs.
There are loud pipes and there is bloody stupid.

When I was about 8 I still recall every night whilst in bed I could hear a bike coming down the bypass (about 3 miles away) and the noise was eerie. A silent hum became a wail and then faded away. I really loved hearing it. Never knew who the rider was or what the bike was...

I remember hearing my brother and his mate two up on a z1300 with a straight through exhaust coming back from silverstone gp in 1986 I could hear them for a good ten minutes ,it was at about two in the morning I couldn’t sleep as I had crashed my lc2 that night and was going to get my hand pinned in the morning
