The enforcement directives finally went out this morning and our streets are already feeling like home again. I am overwhelmed by the result and incredibly thankful to the 480 of you who joined me in refusing to accept this constant state of chaos. We achieved what they told us was …

We the undersigned ask that Government agencies and Law Enforcement agencies perform their mandated obligations and help put an end to the ever increasing noise pollution associated with the operation of illegally equipped motorcycles. As ownership of American V-twin motorcycles has increased, so has the noise pollution. The National Government and most States have laws prohibiting the use of motorcycle exhaust systems that are modified to produce excessive noise. Every community in the United States has municipal codes that address Disturbing the Peace. Yet enforcement of these laws is almost nonexistent. When most American are ask to describe their ideal community the adjectives "nice" and "quiet" are most commonly used. Now, with the recent increased popularity of American V-twin motorcycles, most communities have become anything but nice or quiet. We are forced to endure and overlook this ever more common assault on our clearly codified right to be free from the illegal and invasive noise created by this small, but loud special-interest group. We ask for nothing more than enforcement of existing laws. Laws that exist to prevent exactly this type of tyranny and appropriation of public space.

Seeing two hundred and fifty signatures on this petition makes me feel like I am finally being heard after years of enduring this constant roar outside my home. I am grateful to everyone who stepped up to demand that our local laws actually be enforced.

I have spent hours reading through your comments and it is clear that I am not the only one losing sleep because of these modified exhausts. I am currently compiling your stories to send directly to our local precinct commander to prove this is a widespread violation of our neighborhood peace.

While I don't agree entirely with the wording of this petition, I agree with the spirit that motorcycles are often too loud and are not held to the same standards as other vehicles when it comes to noise emissions. Let's restore some peace to our neighborhoods.

I am becoming more and more annoyed at these classless Harley owners. It is evident something needs to be done to outlaw their modification or outright sale.

And maybe I should bomb the motorcycle gang's hideout. Among the motorcycle noises, the motorcycle gang is the one that keeps us from sleeping.

motorcycle noise - Hey but motorcycles are so noisy. Let's create a noise tax and collect about 20% of it? Let's use that money to build a noise pollution barrier. Lol. These days, motorcycles are so noisy.
