[QUOTE="Lokair, post: 1022641, member: 66790"] I have three points of veiw on this. One I was a sound guy for a lot of bands in the 90's, louder is not always better, a good sound will always sound crisp and get through a messy sound. Great bands use lots of power for thier pa's and then run them in the low range. this makes them run cleaner and will make them sound better(IE tune your bike, a ratty sounding bike will get you lots of unwanted attention even if it is quiet enuff for the specs). Point two, I am a dragracing nut, But I like my 1970 GTO only be load enuff to be smooth running, smooth running for me has better ET's and less manteince. Now one could disagree and say top fuel is loud and they go the 1320 in the ~5 second range. This is true, But I am not John Force and my 13 second timeslips are very competitive for an all pure stock muscle car. Remember this on the trail you are not out to race and if you are racing , a uncorked exhaust should be the last of your worries unless you are (insert in your mind the best riders name here) . Be a better rider, train, learn the skills to make it to the top, 95%rider 5% bike. You all know someone who can take a steel tank 80 and whoop you on your dream machine. Point three when have you ever known the government to make things better, if they implement a sound restriction on bikes, they will crush alot of rider trails and even open area's. Sound may not even be the reason , but it well could be the excuse. Extra point, I am Partially deaf in my right ear, Being a bass player i n metal bands since I was 13. And having a drummer to my right side who did not know the meaning of restraint has left me saying "excuse me" to alot of people who are talking to me. Its not the end of the world , but sometimes it makes me look like a fool(missinterpratation of words has had me put my foot in my mouth more than once). Lok [/QUOTE]
