CA is very strict on loud exhausts.  They have laws on the books that say if
an exhaust is louder than a certain decibel, you can be ticketed.  This
stems from all the ricers using those "fart cannon" exhausts.

I second completely what Harmon said re: loud exhausts: I think that local
towns should set up a roadblock during the bike weeks and rake in the fines
for illegal (yes, illegal John Ashcroft) mufflers on Harleys and others. Do
we have any other set of laws we so commonly ignore? Clattering as quiet as
possible (and an old BMW motorcycle as well),... Dan.
