[QUOTE="jenn, post: 1081384, member: 70836"] [b]This thread educates at least one...hopefully others[/b] This thread is fantastic! I am officially being educated about noise and the realization of what we will lose if we don't make a stand. I am a fairly new rider (started less than 1 year ago) and surprisingly this noise topic has not come up very much in my crowd. Especially surprising because I live in Cali where the laws are strick and there plenty of efforts going on around here to close down or restrist our riding spaces. Don't get me wrong, I've heard the noise topic a couple of times- however, the topic was more like a few guys bragging about how awesome their loud *$$ bikes are. Unfortunately that was the extent of the conversation. I imagine I will have a pretty strong (and more educated) response to these people next time. The funny thing is that these people really are not monsters :p . They are good (and very misinformed) guys who I have learned a great deal about riding from. [U]Maybe it is time for them to learn something about riding from me ?!!! :nod: [/U] Here's what I plan to do- BE PROACTIVE! 1. I have been looking to purchase a new bike. When I find the one I want- you can believe that I will research to find out if it is at 96db or less (stock). If it is higher I will definately purchase whatever aftermarket stuff I need and bring it down to an appropriate roar. 2. I will spread the word....both to those who came before me and to those who come to this great sport after me. Make no mistake I will be firm. :yell: (but reasonable). I am sure that because we all have one thing in common...WE LOVE RIDING, there is adjustments that we ALL can make to ensure it's future. The change has to start with OUR ATTITUDES. 3. I'm going to get on the site that Okie suggested and buy me some rad *$$ bumper stickers and a tee. :cool: Thanks for making me a better rider (and I wasn't even on my bike)! I will do my darn'dest to share the wealth (knowledge). [/QUOTE]
