[QUOTE="Dirty Di, post: 948827, member: 62450"] Mike, I can't speak for Michigan and I have had to ask a few questions before I got to my present view but lets try this. The test they use here has this little meter that sticks out from the side of the pipe and then they use another meter to know what rpm the bike is at. The problem is that the sound level where the bike is tested is not reflective of the sound the bike is actually capable of producing. My husbands Harley will make the 96 while he is riding and off the throttle cruising as will his KTM while it is just sitting there doing the test. However, neither bike will make it when he is on the pipe. The same holds true for my R6 and the DRZ. While I am just cruising they can all be pretty decent but on the pipe they can peg the meter. So, all do pass the limit but not in reality. If your bike is limited to 94dbA that's good but what is it really capable of. My point is this, noise is the responsibility of the rider and they alone control it so they can also choose an appropriate spot to be noisey rather than doing so right next to a campground or public place that is not pro riding. This reminds me of people complaining about jets at airports and trains. Problem is they, the jets and trains, were there first and we were riding in many of the areas before some idiot moved in and wanted to change it all for their selfish pleasure. Dirty Di [/QUOTE]
