[QUOTE="bailey34, post: 1149407, member: 31552"] One of the Tacoma Motorcycle Club members reported yesterday at the Elffendahl staging area (Tahyua State Forest outsde Belfair Washington) there was a group surveying riders and doing sound checks for free. They would not say who they were affiliated with, nor did they display any identification. They told one rider he was too loud to leave. :bang: The problem is no sound level enforcement unless there is a organized event. They told the TMC member that his Yamaha TTR 225 was too loud, (with a stock pipe and arrestor) that it was registering 104db:confused: They challenged the tester to see if the meter was certified or calibrated. The tester refused to show any certification. The TMC member told him that the equipment has to be defective. They loaded up and came to eh club property a few miles away. I heard his bike run and there is no way that bike was 104db. They were illegally kicking people out of the ORV area with no authority to do so. The survey they were doing was five questions that were heavily slanted to anti ORV use. Questions such as how close sould an ORV park be to residences and the answers ranged from 1/4 mile to 2 miles. The Tayhua area is surrounded by houses that come within 1/4 mile of the park. Most of the people who live around the ORV area also ride. ANd more questions about "did you modify your pipe" which alot of bikes have to to add the spark arrestor so they are legal to ride in the forest. Many think this is another attmept by greenies to shut down the area. :moon: Department Of Natural Resources (DNR) is required to display identification at all times. IF you ride this are, be suspect if you do not see a DNR or Sherriff (in uniform with badge displayed). The local DNR and Sheriff are very easy peopl to deal with and very courteous. :nod: :nod: [/QUOTE]
