Starting to Limit the Rumble & Roar-5/30 Meeting

Well said! This has nothing to do with ambient city noise but the deliberate effort to cause extreme pollution by modifying the exhaust system.  Having a yuppie on happy rumbling softtail is one thing, but some idiot whose mod stops all conversation as it passes is another.  Again, not many offenders, so I do not understand why there would be opposition to enforcing the law.

There are PLENTY of factory shipped exhausts that are loud enough to make drivers aware and not change lanes into them.  That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard.  The stock exhaust sound on your average HD is plenty loud.

I agree.  In the past several years, a few "bikers" have moved into my neighborhood.  When they frequently go past my house, the noise literally rattles the windows and stops any and all conversation in my house, and that is with all windows and doors closed.

I believe trains are required to sound their horns when traveling through urban areas with crossings at grade.  They aren't doing it to be obnoxious; it is a federal/state law for them to do so for safety.  A train cannot stop in short distances like a motorbike or auto can, so the train horn serves a very valid purpose.  On the other hand, motorbikes or cars modified for excessive noise are a nuisance and against the law, and are unnecessary noise pollution in my opinion.

If the motorcycle owner feels they have to illegally modify the exhaust system to be louder, in order to feel safer or just boost their ego, then they should ditch the bike and drive a car or bicycle.  And the same goes for loud auto exhaust and audio systems too.  They are just as obnoxious.

Methinks, and I am with the vast majority on this, that playful idiots with 'cracked pipes' have small pee-pee syndrome.

I imagine it's a bit more specific than that. Otherwise you can fine 1/2 the vehicles on the road. Half the Harleys on the road have new pipes.

[Double A]

If this is such a safety issue why don't the scooter riders have loud pipes? I think this whole "loud pipes saves lives" thing is just a lame excuse to be obnoxious.

[jdb]

Motorbikes, Trains, Copters, Ambulances...maybe the real reason few in here would ever concider living DT.
Complain about nothing to do DT but really their systems are too frail to withstand a loud noise in the night.

Rattling windows are a sign of loose fitted casings and/ or the sash needs re-glazing.

So while one can narrowly focus on pipe mod's disturbing their chitter chatter for a few passing seconds, their omitting a multiple of other mod's that go hand in hand like rotors, intake, oil pumps, light kits, etc. which are designed to make the bike more responsive, increase visiable, increase stopping power (which they sorely lack), performance, mileage...some are decrotive some are safety.
Which all but a few options are legal, even in Cali.

"Dumps" are what the rumblephobes(c) are so offended by but those are few on the road and even so have passed the Cave Creek sound ord's.

jdb

So Tim, you take comfort in belonging to the vast majority of an issue, swell.
But that doesn't quaily you as informed.

But that's alright, you are cut some slack as it's obvious from your "small wee wee transference" that you wet yourself in the back seat of your parents car when you were sneered at by that big bad biker.

Bet you got a spanking for it too![]

Yes cities have lots of noise. I live right by a highway, chose to do so and do not complain about the noise from it.

However if there were a way limit the noise pollution in my home or neighborhood I would work to do so. From doing things to my home like getting windows that are more sound proof and installing an extra layer of sheetrock to the walls and ceilings. Sound barrier walls along the highway can help if the wall reaches at least 8 feet above your ear level. Not something that will work in my case since I am on a slope an my home is above the wall. I would also champion sound reducing roadways and additives like rice husks to the roadway material which can reduce the sound of the vehicles.  Every bit to help improve the living conditions for myself and others.

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you shouldn't work to make it a better, quieter, place. Its not going to be the country. (heck sometimes the birds outside my window can be annoying lol) But noise pollution affects health and well being and any way to reduce it for everyone should be worked towards whenever possible. A lot of people and the city, have put a lot of work and effort into making the city a better, quieter place to live. When someone goes out of their way to make it louder...

Some considerations can be structural, like sound wall barriers along highways, automatic railroad crossings so that trains don't have to sound their horns, special road surfaces.  Other considerations seem to be a case of manners, turning down your sterio as you pass through a neighborhood, areas like Brookside, and at stop lights.  Not playing your home sterio or sound system super loud all the time, whether you live in an apartment or home.  And yes, not making your motorcycle run loud.

I don't buy the "We need loud motorcycles so that people will know we are there and not run into us." reason.

People pull out in front of my car. I know I have to watch out for them. I also know that the smaller the vehicle I am driving means that others are going to be less likely to see me and that I should drive accordingly.

How many loud vespas have you seen? Perhaps noisy mufflers on bicycles? Perhaps I should make my car super loud so that semi's wont run into me? Or I can take appropriate precautions and pay extra attention to larger vehicles that may not see me. Being responsible by paying appropriate attention seems better than trying to shunt that responsibility by being loud.

Because your driving a small vehicle you have to be aware that other people are less likely to see you.  Its just the way it is.

Being noisy and annoying lots of people, because you don't want to be more aware of the few large vehicles that may not see you, just doesn't sound like the best solution for everyone to take.

Most motorcyclists, bicyclists, vespas, etc. don't make themselves super loud.  When I am riding my bike I know I cant just lollygag down the road like a car. I have to keep my eye out.
Shunting that responsibility by being loud, all the while annoying others, so that I can drive just like I would in a car, doesn't seem like the best answer.


Being noisy is the lazy mans way out.
Your in a small vehicle. You know that people are not as likely to see you. Be on the lookout for them. They are in a big car or truck surely you can see them.  Being loud and hoping they hear you so that you dont have to look out for them seems absurd.

We should all try to look out for motorcycles and smaller vehicles. And we should all try to be as considerate as possible to others "noise wise". Just because we live in the city doesn't mean we should completely give up on trying to make it a little more pleasant and yes, quieter place.

Say Man... If you want to put GlassPax (sp?) mufflers on your car go ahead... Long as no laws are broken..

Freedom to express oneself is what this issue is about... If it gets my blood pumping listening to Rock and Roll LOUD... That's my right... if I am not breaking any Law...

If I want a bike that has a roar to it... That's my right...

The same people that want Cason to cure there ills are going to know someone that goes to see Nugent when he is here....

During his "World War Three Tour" he stacked Fender Twin Reverb amps to the sky....

When asked how loud he wanted it to be...? he said, "I want the first six rows to go deaf"...
That is extreme... That, if mounted on a vehicle ,would have me calling the Cops... maybe..?

But you know what.. He was not cited at the afore mentioned concert because it broke no law...

You want Laws on how loud a Motorcycle can be... Whats next..

You and anyone that has their own idea as to what is Paradise don't have a lock and key on it...
Cason gets it past the City Council and Mayor..
The test case will be very well reresented on the side of the Cyclist from a Law Firm out of Oakland.

p.s. This is a very large piece of what's wrong with Tulsa........

Everyone thinks someone else can kiss it and make it better..
Ya know what "Kiss It your own Damn Self"

aRT -
I clicked un-ignore to see your post here.
I will most likely click it again but that's based on your reply to this.

Good, getting used to one environs, with or without sound masking, is a sign of flexibility, adaption, let live.

I am sure you meant "looking into a host of alternative concepts, which includes the address of sound isolation, not "proof" as the co-efficients are too expensive for all but a few people, issues in our homes, to quiet the busting Fast Lane of other peoples lives".

Freeway Sound Walls helped one issue but created another that may be worse.
I support the pursue of shredding tires to be used as a road bed top-cover, if the costs of the solutions are not passed off in Toto to the consumer - but that's David vs. Big Daddy Golia!


Sorry gotta chop this next part up due to too many issues all lumped into the same paragraph.

Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you shouldn't work to make it a better, quieter, place.

In your opinion quieter is better.
So a dense, urban, hot-spot will have the hum of a college Library?
Will the victory screams of Soc cor fans leaving the field arena, emblazoned by their teams winning performance, be monitored by beat-cops with a DBL meter?
How quiet is quiet?
Who determines the level and at what cost to the reason things are loud to begin with? Like ambul. trains, planes, sirens, alarms, fireworks, shot guns, bull-horned titty-contest's in the Furr Shop's parking lot at midnight?
How boringly, un-uptopic for type "A's".


Its not going to be the country. (heck sometimes the birds outside my window can be annoying lol)

Were not covering the sound traits of rural living in here, are we?
Different animal, maybe next edition

But noise pollution affects health and well being and any way to reduce it for everyone should be worked towards whenever possible.

A sustained level of sound, even a minor one on a scale of 1 - 10, has been known to affect people adversely. Key word Sustained.
A passing motorbike is measure in seconds.
At worst the roar of a bike is but one part of the din which should not be stomped on without consideration to it's merits before hand.

A lot of people and the city, have put a lot of work and effort into making the city a better, quieter place to live. When someone goes out of their way to make it louder...

That again is the argument of better means quiet. But, it's the sound of people living in the same place. Compromise means everyone is taken into account. Here, we are concerned with the merits of loud pipes vs. the fuzzy warmth of peace and quiet, no?

or

When someone goes out of their way to make themselves known to other people that can kill them dead in seconds flat by doing one mindless thing, they better have a good reason?
Well, what might that reason be?
And is there only one?
How completely un-imaginative.

Some considerations can be structural, like sound wall barriers along highways, automatic railroad crossings so that trains don't have to sound their horns, special road surfaces. Other considerations seem to be a case of manners, turning down your sterio as you pass through a neighborhood, areas like Brookside, and at stop lights. Not playing your home sterio or sound system super loud all the time, whether you live in an apartment or home. And yes, not making your motorcycle run loud.

Loud Pipes in the hood! Get your Gun!

I ride quiet through hoods day or night.
Couple of kids on the corner egg me on to "Crack 'Em" when they see me, sometimes I do, they cheer, I grin and ride on.
Bet most people that pull up in cages are now feared as kidnappers by those children but that's an aside of my own.

On the hiway we throttle up and then down to pass cages, sometimes.
Matter of mutual respect on the road.

I don't buy the "We need loud motorcycles so that people will know we are there and not run into us." reason.

What do you know about it? How do you come to this conclusion? How many miles you logged this year? I've been riding 4 decades. Hanging out with the likes and working with clubs to keep from being legislated into a box with straps and balloons and no possible contact with the outside world we're traveling through. Yeah, maybe watching TV on the visor, folding the whirled, chatting on the phone, fighting with a loved one, reaching for a gun under the seat? Maybe dialing Delmo on the radio?
Screw that!

People pull out in front of my car. I know I have to watch out for them. I also know that the smaller the vehicle I am driving means that others are going to be less likely to see me and that I should drive accordingly.
How many loud vespas have you seen? Perhaps noisy mufflers on bicycles? Perhaps I should make my car super loud so that semi's wont run into me? Or I can take appropriate precautions and pay extra attention to larger vehicles that may not see me. Being responsible by paying appropriate attention seems better than trying to shunt that responsibility by being loud.

Who says anyone one a MC doesn't take into account their size and the results of what might happen any second if the car up ahead does something unexpected?

That's an erroneous presumption.

I have never heard anyone claim a quiet pipe helped keep them from being run over but I have heard and said the opposite untold times. Just because you don't know first hand doesn't mean you cant learn from a direct source. And it doesn't need your belief to exist.
I am NOT the direct source of which I spoke about in the above sentence.

Because your driving a small vehicle you have to be aware that other people are less likely to see you. Its just the way it is.
Being noisy and annoying lots of people, because you don't want to be more aware of the few large vehicles that may not see you, just doesn't sound like the best solution for everyone to take.
Most motorcyclists, bicyclists, vespas, etc. don't make themselves super loud. When I am riding my bike I know I cant just lollygag down the road like a car. I have to keep my eye out.
Shunting that responsibility by being loud, all the while annoying others, so that I can drive just like I would in a car, doesn't seem like the best answer.

Repeat of assumptions and logic built on a faulty premise.

Being noisy is the lazy mans way out.

I am sure you mean to say , "If all one does is open his pipes he may still have left-turners cutting him off.", right? Lazy, implies one doesn't apply himself to the problem and instead might say something like "I just don't buy it", no?

Your in a small vehicle. You know that people are not as likely to see you. Be on the lookout for them. They are in a big car or truck surely you can see them. Being loud and hoping they hear you so that you dont have to look out for them seems absurd.
We should all try to look out for motorcycles and smaller vehicles. And we should all try to be as considerate as possible to others "noise wise". Just because we live in the city doesn't mean we should completely give up on trying to make it a little more pleasant and yes, quieter place.

Repeat of assumptions.
But it's not a "in a small vehicle" it's on a small vehicle. Being "On" a bike is in nothing but the hands of himself and those around him.
"...so you don't have to look..."? I know no one who has ever even thought this, let alone utter such a curse upon ones self.

Personal deal.
Your, "why cant we all get along, as long as it's by my idea of what constitutes a quality life, whinny tone, sprinkled with "lol's" ,how cute, is too much for me to take in searching your post's for kernels of something new, an insight, an 180* spin on a issue.
I am not flaming you here, just flatly stating why I don't read you.
On occasion I found an interesting point in your post's but I have like minded people to kick the thought around with.

That said, the posts I make are largely BS, time killing poor attempts at humor, and half-baked stupidity. That I am not drunk only makes my posts all the worse.
I typically expect one friend here to taunt me after hours about my remarks (which just happened), but that's about as much care as I can muster anymore.
Additionally, I encourage people to ignore me.

The question here is are loud pipes live saving add-ons, maybe like that of seat belt's but much less confining?
If the study, which made a sleepy cameo appearance in the whirled today, is ever funded some interesting things will come to light that the "vast majority of people" do not know now.

The fall out of the question is some of us have known for a long time and learned the hard way that indeed the pipes help make people a bit more alert. Which is saying almost nothing.

But it's an edge I take, my neighbors don't mind a bit, and my parents instantly warmed to. jdb

I'm impressed to see it written that way, especially as seeing a high percentage of Tulsa, and even this forum, would have to be ticketed.

The difference between putting cutouts and putting flowmasters on a camaro is a big one. I've seen a camaro with flowmasters and tpd plates before. Plus, stock exhaust on my 2003 is louder than the same vehicle in 2005. So if someone modified a 2005 to sound like a 2003, is that okay?

[Breadburner]

Most all those $hit box Harley's sound the same....You heard one you have heard them all.....Now There are some V-Twin and V-Four bikes that do sound good.....

[Bledsoe]

Below are some of the city ordinances that relate to this issue.  The real problem was the elimination of vehicle inspections which required cycles to be legal with respect to mufflers.  Without inspections, many if not most larger cycles now have modified mufflers.  I have been advised that the police estimate 90% of cycles are not legal.

There has also not been any priority of enforcement in residential areas.  The problem grows and grows--especially between the cycle venues from 46th to 15th along South Peoria. This is almost totally residential between 32nd and 16th Streets.

There may be other areas of the city that are problems, but this appears to be the perfect storm area--where I live.

Between 4 pm on Fridays to Sunday evening--it is not a happy time between April and November to be outside and near South Peoria.  The cycle noise far exceeds the normal traffic noise.
