National Public Radio published an audio sound-bite this morning explaining that Harley Davidson is aware of local police departments cracking down on loud motorcycles, and is now trying to get bikers to quiet down... Dozens of communities are passing noise laws aimed at reducing the rumble of motorcycles. The largest U.S. manufacturer of motorcycles, Harley-Davidson, says it's paying attention to the trend and trying to get riders to go easier on the ears.You can listen to it here...

In my opinion this is a good thing. How ever it should be all bikes. In Denver it was just sportbikes. Now all bikes are getting this. Its a good thing. Next they can foucs on cars.

I agree that the noise from some harleys is unbearable, and I'm glad to know that they are looking to crack down on it. They are IMO louder than just about any sportbike exhaust.
