I was in Montreal last weekend and woke up to the sound of 6 Harley's idling at 6:30 am right outside the window of the hotel.

if i screamed at the top of my lungs in a public setting, a cop would warn me to stop or i would get a ticket, but a driver can drive by a area with crazy noise pollution thats 10x the sound of my lungs and its ok??????????????????? then they purposely rev there engines to to make it even louder and the corrupt government doesnt do nothing about it?????????mmmmmmmmmmmmm

The problem is it's apparently very hard to enforce or for a charge to hold up. Often the people getting tickets will just challenge the accuracy of the sound measurement in court, or in terms of the mods themselves, juts remove them to be approved then re-install them back later.

Based on the results getting posted by the cops, a lot of the people also seem to have other infractions. With cars especially, it seems most are younger (under 23) and already have a suspended license, or invalid registrations or expired plates. It's not just otherwise law-abiding people, they're a-holes that just don't care about any of it.



I rode for years, it's total nonsense. If it was about safety these people would also be wearing proper gear, but while one might exist (a figurative unicorn), to date I've never seen someone wearing full safety riding gear (including proper pants, full-face helmets, jacket to the wrists with gloves) that had loud pipes.

It's always the ones wearing open face helmets or brain buckets, and maybe no proper jacket at all. I'm sure many wouldn't be wearing a helmet at all if not required by law.

They just like being loud.

Harleys

Muscle cars

This year has been exceptionally worse since it's been a relatively dry summer in the GTA and therefore, you get more of the above.
