I got pulled over for noise (in the UK) as my ZX6-R had a hole in the downpipes and it was obviously a bit too noisy. I was trying my best to keep the noise down and (genuinely, provably) on my way to drop the bike off to have it repaired.
The Cop that pulled me over was happy to chat about it when I explained that it was on its way to get fixed he let me off.
Then a Harley that was twice as loud went past and the cop says "Cor, doesn't that sound lovely!" I asked him if he was going to pull it over for being louder than mine and he suddenly got very grumpy with me again. I didn't push any further as I didn't want to end up with a fine.
What's the old line?
"Harley's are probably the most efficient machine to turn gasoline into noise without that pesky by-product of horsepower."
