The only thing that REALLY pisses me off about the exhaust tickets are the fact that I would guess 75-80% of ALL Harley and Harley-wannabe bikes are WAY outside this dB range and I have never even once seen a cop pulling one over or heard of them getting an exhaust ticket. I mean when you have one riding next to you with a custom set of pipes and you can't hear yourself when you are almost yelling...that's a little much.
