noise legislation and testing

Just doing our bit to enlarge state bureaucracy and revenue to be further
squandered by the unduly elected Pol's

Hey:

So whats the noise limit set at and from how far away? Do cars have the same restrictions? You know down here the City of Myrtle Be-atch passed a bunch of those anti motorcycle laws plus required a Helmet within the city limits, the helmet portion was thrown out but the noise ones are still enforced. This was to get rid of the rallies that brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars, now they want to raise taxes to make up for the lost revenue on the very same bussiness they hurt, kind of ironic and moronic. Also the taxes need to go up to pay for the lawsuits they lost, biker tourist they chased away and the extra police they hired to enforce them.

Thumbs up Blew the cobwebs away

No rain just 11C so had to go for a run

Nice 150 mile ride to Poole via country and A roads - some nice bends and empty straights

Rattled the bike along in the 7K+ rev band just cos i could - wonderful sound and acceleration for an 18 year old bike - then realised the exhaust collet has broken so just added to the (sweet) noise

Parked her up under the new rain cover until nexr Saturday when the MOT is booked.

Bought her a new front turn signal today ( RH ). Seems a good investment seeing as Honda dont make them anymore. 40 bucks posted to the door from the UK. Brand new still in box. Just have to find a left side one now......They are good to keep as spares.

Clocked 96K miles today.
Was just thinking about what I need to do but haven't.
Still, I've clocked up 4,000 miles in the last 7 weeks.
Guess I need some down time. Fat chance at the moment!
Can you send some of that freezing blizzard in our direction Mark, as soon as it hits your island!

Turned the key on all three bikes and went for a ride on each. Washed two bikes but the 1kF will get done tomorrow. Rode her for an hour in the cold today. Of the three bikes, I know why she is a keeper.

Oil and filter change, Rotella T6.

Picked up a factory pleated air filter from Ron Ayers for $33.00 plus shipping. (I am not a fan of gauze filters)

Installed some mini led lights to illuminate the clock/temp guage.

Now I'm ready for the cold weather riding.

Well guys I bought a 92 model today with 84000 km on it for $1285. Not registered and a little rough around the edges but is certainly fixable. Worst case scenario would see it as a great, cheap parts bike. Needs tyres, battery, carb sync and a general tune so the guy tells me but otherwise ok. Picking it up tmrw. Will post some pics then.
