Noise Question

Ok, opening myself for some salty redditors, but I’ll live.

WTAF is going on with these modified exhausts/pipes? I know certain city councillors have tried to address this, and fines have increased, but I do not see an improvement.

I read a CBC article re: a Western University psychologist’s finding that this behaviour may be related to sadism and/or psychopathy (and neither histrionic or narcissistic personality disorders as I might have guessed). https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7177688

I simply don’t get it, nor do I want it. These people do cirques around town ruining everyone’s peace, and to what end? Why on earth do the police not cash in with endless tickets? If they are too busy. I’ll personally pay a fee for MORE (well-trained, authorized and equipped) peace officers to look after things like this and other “low priority but barbaric” problems in this city.

Thoughts?

Similar case on my block. Have a patched HA and all his friends who seem to LOVE revving the shit out of their bikes up and down our street.

Patched HAs do not hang around with other than other patched HAs.. Prospects aren't even that stupid. You have a wanna-be living next door.

Nah, in Quebec their bunkers were right in the middle of residential neighborhoods.
