Mine wasn't that loud, and in fact, had the factory " for racing only" baffles in them, but I wouldn't run pipes that loud today. But if they pulled over every loud bike around here, they would never get anything else done
I've certainly heard bikes I would write tickets to if I was a cop. Some are just stupid loud. A little noise, ok, ear splitting noise, I'd like to see some enforcement.
I'm no fan of loud pipes on bikes, but I've often wondered how some semi trucks and farm tractors (on city streets) are not held to the same noise emissions regulations by law enforcement. Not to mention freight trains that go through town. It just seems like bikes are often "targets of opportunity" in some municipalities. Just a thought.

In 1972 I was picked up by the fuzz...it hurt!
