So, how do they decide what is too loud ??

for an MOT it's at the examiners disgresion, I know they stick the sound level on the bikes ID badge thingy, but is it law that that is the level, surely they can only legislate on a set upper level rather than per bike - bit confusing this, does anyone know for certain ?? :gal:

Cheers Motonacio, but that's out-of-date, bit of a give-a-way when it says "NB: these limit values will be tightened from 2003" this is the point I'm trying to make. Further, as a motorcycle rev's increase so does the noise output, and there's nothing on the DOT site about that either.

The manufacturers stamp indicates a noise level at a set RPM.

It's still confusing!

In the absence of later legislation then those limits apply. A reasonable defence should one be needed is that there is no later information available to the public.

Did you know that if you put a peice of tape over that track use only mark when you go for an mot they cant take the tape off so im told!

What they do around here with the Loud boy racers is as follows.

If they have a 1.4 Fiesta they find a standard one and measure the noise with the meter.

Then they measure the offending Car they are permitted (Cannot remember figure) a decibel or two or three to be louder. If it is above that they get so long to fix it etc. If they dont the Car gets an asbo.

No if it re-offends it gets a one way ticket to the crusher....:117::021:

Last post for a while I want to stay as three fat ladies................................

Well gave CCC a call and thay have advised �25.50 for one Baffle for my bike:cry[1]: �5.50 P&P

I so miss the other Simon... he would have just sent you a free set, but unfortunately this is sign of the times we are in. The new Simon is a totally different person.

Sorry mate.

Well I hope to get some cash to replace, at it more for my MOT than the police :unibrow:
