I live on a very busy street and I spoke to numerous people about this issue including the police. I will be moving when I find the right house to buy.

If I took the muffler off my car I would immediately get a ticket Yet Harley owners remove their mufflers the moment they get the bike home. You've all been shocked by them one time or another, you know sunday brunch in the back yard when some monkey comes roaring up the street. Then 2 seconds later his buttee breaks the sound barrier. Are you still influenced by the Hells Angels stories you heard about as a kid. Do you think these idiots will beat you up or do the urine initiation on you and your family. NO they are just your regular morons that think NOISE relates to POWER. think about it then ask youself WHY you put up with some 50 year old idiot disturbing your peace and quiet starting in the spring and lasting through the summer. ( Monkeys don't ride in the rain) Stand up and fight like I have. Here's what you do. Tell your local police to send a unit with a db meter to the nearest freeway exit where there is a harley dealership in your town. Saturday is the best day

"Loud pipes save lives" what a bunch of BS.
If they really want to be noticed they should wear a clown outfit.

In a message entitled "Something We Never Want to Lose" on his company's website, Harley-Davidson Motor Company President and CEO Jim McCaslin tackles the issue of motorcycle noise and the increasing backlash motorcycling is experiencing as the result of loud pipes. Citing a four-fold increase in negative media coverage during the last decade, bans on motorcycles in some communities, attempts to curtail major motorcycle events, anti-tamper legislation, and other limitations of freedom for motorcyclists as the result of complaints about loud pipes, McCaslin says, "We all, every Hog lovin' one of us, must do everything we can to protect our sport and keep it as strong as it is today."
Jim McCaslin is President and CEO of Harley-Davidson Motor Company.
In other words, it's time to pipe down.

Interesting question. I have been a police officer for over 11 years and have stopped and ticketed many cars for loud and modified exhaust. However, I can not ever remember stopping or citing a Harley type motorcycle for loud exhaust. I am neither a motorcycle rider, nor a motorcycle enthusiast, and the law in California relating to modified and loud exhaust applies to all vehicles - including motorcycles. Over the years I have many times heard the motorcyclist's addage "Loud pipes saves lives" and I guess that maybe society as a whole just accepts that there may be some truth to this.
Looking into my future I expect that I will continue to stop and ticket the Honda Civics of the world that drive around with their ridiculous loud exhaust and I expect that I will continue to not ticket the Harley's.
I'm curious if other cops feel this way?

It's sniveling little self-centered, self-serving sissymary's like you that are such a detriment to the enjoyment of life for the rest of us. If it was up to cowards like you, we'd all be riding around in our little gooner-scooter clone cars, back and forth in our little go-nowhere, do-nothing sheep lives!
I'd bet that you're the same type that believe no one should have guns for self defense, but should depend on the po-lice for protection, as well!
It must be Hell itself to go around living ones' life with no cojones! It's little gutless puppets like YOU who are the REAL clowns!
Baa! Baa! Baa!
P.S: Loud pipes are NOT illegal, or the Po-lice would do something about them.
