Are motorcycles totally exempt from noise ordinances in OK?

Loud pipes save lives?? BullS$#%. Pipes are loudest at the exhaust end, much like a firearm muzzle. By the time you hear the moron's "cool" pipes he's already past you or t-boned you. It's actually hazardous because it makes me want to chase them down and choke them. This "safety measure" coming from the same folks who wear no helmets and have the tiniest taillights they can find.

And yes, I ride. Everyday. In all weather. Not just 2 miles to the yippie biker bar

A rider with some sense.....

Even then, I think that law rivals Oklahoma tint law for least enforcement.

Yep. I'd wager to TRY and enforce that with cars alone would be a nightmare.

I wish people with them LOUD exhaust and stereos had them shoved where the sun dont shine and have some respect for the people around them, not everyone wants to listen to that NOISE.

Haters gonna hate. I ran a race core pipe on my 954 and I've got some sweet sounding mufflers on the street glide. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with the KLR. I detest the assholes that make noise just to make noise. I've no issues with extra volume as long as you don't abuse the privelidge of being stupid.

The guys bumping the throttle while going though an underpass have to to be compensating for something....

Dumb question, but are you saying that local cops carry a dB meter in their car?

There's an I phone app with a db meter

Crap. Wish I'd known that in the 70's when I kept getting ticketed for "improperly modified exhaust".

For cars in my experience it was just something to pull me over for to give me grief (more or less deservedly - long story). Also have had it used as a "bonus" offense akin to not wearing a seatbelt - something to be cited for after being pulled over and can't find anything else.

Thanks so much for that. I think I'll carry a copy with me when I ride. After I swap the pipes, of course.

That's only state law. Local municipalities have their own noise and nuisance laws.

It most certainly does. Read a little further.
