they having a laugh now... Banning bikes from country lanes

[Sparks!]

Yup, there is a radio vote going around that they want to ban "high powered motorcycles" from "wrecking the sound throughout british countryside"

There is an online vote here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/vine/

Please everyone go vote NO obviously, even tho no is already at 97% might as well get more votes behind it.

Cant believe people think like this... you can listen to the whole radio show if you like too..

That's pretty pathetic. Not all high powered motorcycles are noisy, people riding not so powerful bikes can be noisier. I know my RS50 was nothing but noise.
Really don't see the point in banning it, it's not ruining the sound of countryside at all. How many agricultural vehicles do you know that aren't quiet?



Put my vote down for no obviously.

I think the only bike to do 180+ is the busa (stock). Now you would never find a busa going down country lane, because thay cant go round corners!

Sounds like bollocks to me.

Although I can kind of relate to what they are saying, some people do seem to find it nessasary to rev their engines and do backfires while passing through small villages.

I actually agree there Dusty, I'm guilty of it to

Last monday on way to hastings at 9 am, mates bandit 12 with some SERIOUSLY LOUD CANS parked on the pavement outside some houses (literally under the window ) and decided to give it a quick rev

what he didnt realise is someone was at the upstairs window just as he done it

Just goes to show that general bikes can be annoying around town etc but what, ban bikes from town?

I generally think that race cans should only be used with care.

I reckon if the government upped the noise limit to the level of the quietest of race-cans, no one would go around with LOUD cans.

They would be happy with a slightly frutier tone than standard, the race can manufacturers wouldn't go out of business and people wouldn't have offensively loud cans.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[AcIdBuRnZ]

Pile of bollocks

I suggest those of you who are members of other forums, get them involved too.

Jesus H Corbet. What next? Fart cameras in lifts??

[The BeefMeister]

So why try ban loud motorcycles when cars are/can be just as loud?
Really is pathetic. Fair enough some people live in the middle of no where down a country lane and like the peace and quiet but your never going to get it peaceful 24/7.
What If your your only way to a destination is down a country road? Surely they're not going to stop you using that road just because your vehicle makes a bit of noise.

to the Government!

Thats just stupid. You cannot ban bikes from the countryside, surely the emmisions from a bike are less, so the loud noise is just a bi product of a cleaner environment?

They will not be able to ban bikes from the country side as it is against human rights to a extent freedom of movement etc.
