The noisiest thing I heard was a Burgman type scoot with an aftermarket can on it. There was the odd bike with standard exhausts doing a zillion revs, but that's music, not noise.

Just out of interest - are two strokes all gonna be rainbow stickered off the road if this smoky legislation eventually makes it as well? I don't know how this town would run without me providing a daily dose of synthetic 2smoke and Blap Blap Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap ... Ding Ding Ding Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap....

I heard on the radio, that cars where 85DB and motorbikes are to be 100DB'S.
They tried to bring this law in the eight's, but failed because most people where against it.

Has anyone noticed the really unfair thing about this new noise rule? It only applies to bikes cars and trucks under 3500kg. Big muvvafukka trucks and buses can make as much noise as they want.

And the LTSA CLAIMED during the consultation phase of the emission thing that it was not intended to apply to two strokes (specifically) or other engines which , by reason of their inherent design, could not be smokeless. But given that the LTSA lie about everything they do, we shall just have to wait and see. I put in a submission about it, I don't suppose anyone else bothered, apathetic lot modern bikers.

umm they did! I will repeat myself that the 76 traffic regulations stipulated the maximum levels different classes of vehicles could attain, and identified the testing methods that these values were to be tested using!

Yep,the rule has been there for ever - but there is no way to put it into action.The only way they are going to be able to get any rules on exhausts is to make it compulsory for the vehicle to have the standard exhaust it was complied with - this means you will NOT be able to change the exhaust system from standard.It's coming - all the new rules are being based around compliance standards.It's coming,keep pushing and it'll come even sooner....

umm they could of set up a testing station and ran the tests if you didnt have a stock can!

More people will just go the plateless not stopping route if they increase draconian laws like this!
