Loud Pipes - crackdown in U.K.

[Hooli]

Some bikes with stubby cans are stupidly loud, I was following one today & couldn't hear my 14's Akra even when he was about 200yrds ahead. Bloody daft & must piss off everyone within about 2miles of the road.

A mate of mine has a Triumph Thruxton with very beautiful., custom made, straight through pipes...

Sounds great from the side at idle or with a rev.

If behind it when he gives it even a mild handful it's fricking painful !!!!!
Sounds great but by God it's unpleasant to be around.

I am not worried about noise cameras on any of my bikes apart from the Ducati with it's straight through, sounds fantastic but I think the fun police might object, might even have to put the baffle back in

Cops have occasional clamp downs on loud pipes here.

My B-King has aftermarket pipes but they are tested and tagged as legal.
The H2 SX is still stock.
My GSX1100 is loud but meets the requirements for a 1980 bike.

I normally get a heads up when they are testing bikes,  the rest of the time a high gear / low rev's let's me cruise past with my other loud bikes.

Tomorrow is Diavel day out. It has full Zard exhaust, fairly noisy. It sounds quieter than 14 while riding but mates say its louder. Strange to me.

@Desert Fox  it wasn't me that got us pulled it was that guy on the bandit the police said

I had a starter at a local gastro pub last weekend which was Green lipped muscles in a pernod sauce!  Outstanding

Must be the Doppler effect grog, or riding faster than the speed of sound from your own bike...
