Limit is 85 db. Stock is 85 db. Anything louder is not up to code. I guess that means no one on the board can ride warning-less in North Beach/the Wharf.

DQ would have to kill like 17 virgins on a pilgrimage ...  cheeky

What ungodly thing have you got going on in your mind!  laughingdp

btw
DQ's S4R was louder than the D16 WITH race exhaust measured with a DB reader at La Ducati Day.
not saying it's the loudest, just really damn loud.

I live in North Beach, and I ride by the cops all of the time. I doubt any of us would have a problem as long as the riding is nice and easy. I know I can ride up Grant Street with cars a few feet away on either side, and I can either set off alarms or not. If you set off the alarms and generally ride around like a crazy hooligan, you get a ticket. If you ride like a nice civilized human being, you get a canoli.

I like the canoli idea. Way cheaper than a ticket.

North Beach is littered with Italian wannabes, so they wouldn't blow the whistle on a Duc would they? So what if a few of these wannabes wander over from a block away, including me when I'm there getting my chow fun.  waytogo

The news showed the police in action this morning handing out tickets. Every bike they pulled over was a cruiser. Stating loud moto noise causes sleep disturbance, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, fatigue, and mood disruption. They failed to mention if this was for the rider or people in the vicinity.

Ha, I watched the vid.  Pretty funny.  Those guys are idiots.  And by "those guys", I mean the people who blame their high blood pressure on Harleys. 

That said, no more hyper-aggressive downshifts while riding around the City unless I'm in the Mission or sumptin'.  My pipes aren't Harley loud, but when I'm riding around like a moron with loud blips and redline-smackin' downshifts, it's basically a mating call for LEOS.
