" We'd like to offer a list of enlightening quotes from concerned citizens which speak to the seriousness of this issue.
"Motorcycles are fine. Their riders simply need to obey the law."
- Grant Millin, Web publisher
"Biker noise is my least favorite [noise] as it wakes me up in the morning and also wakes up [my son]. There seem to be a lot more loud pipes now than there were a few years ago."
- Famous product designer for Google products and Microsoft products
"Pipe Down. Not everyone enjoys the sound of loud pipes. Be considerate of others, especially in quiet neighborhoods and at night."
- Official statement of The Motorcycle Safety Foundation
"We need to lead by example and convey the that it is totally unacceptable to ride an obnoxiously loud machine. Next, we have to stop installing unmuffled exhaust systems on our bikes."
- AMA CEO Mr. Rob Dingman, as quoted in Road Racing World
"Obnoxiously loud bikes and OHVs are not acceptable."
- AMA CEO Rob Dingman as quoted in Motorcycle Daily
"We quiet folk, in ambience,
wish the quiet to linger;
We give bikers lenience,
and some give us the finger."
- Message on an Internet message board
"Loud pipes risk rights."
- Rick Gray, former head of the AMA
"It's no wonder the public has come down on us because of these idiots."
