Why do you need to rev it early in the morning for 5 minutes waking up the neighborhood?

    No fucking chance. Motorbrains will never abandon their custom exhausts. For them riding a bike without annoying everyone around doesn’t make any sense. Why bother if no one is looking at you?

        They will just slow down right before it. It will be great for people living right next to it but wont solve the issue.

        The proper solution would be to de legalize modified exhausts. Both sales and possession. Treat it like fireworks or other socially harmful things. If you stop someone riding with one you charge them with possession. You look for workshops that install them and charge them with possession. You look for stores that sell them and charge them with sales.

        The nice thing about it is that you don’t really have to look for them like for drugs. You can hear to from kilometers away, just part next to highway and stop the obvious offenders. Small fine for first time offenders and huge one for re-offenders. That’s what they did in Singapore and it’s working.
