I was sent this from a very reliable source...

 

 

  

 

this is what I like to see.... letting people know to garage their said vehicles over the two week period ......

You think the bastards would do something to stop deaths on the road. 

How many people have you heard of dying from excess noise?

How many times have you heard the TV cops say "the message still isn't getting across"

Yeah, that's because revenue raising ain't much of a message!

Excessively loud motor vehicles constitute an offence against the Environment Protection Act.

so having an F! race around the streets of Melbourne is Ok, but a set of loud pipes on bikes is not.?

Get fucked.

 

I question when does the health and safety of bike riders become more important than some fucking stupid epa rule?

cos loud pipes save lives (insert fucking big full stop here) and a big get fucked as well.

what about planes ,helicopter,trains,.a passing noise wont do a thing its stationery noise thats a problem .itll be aust wide ,ruddy will nationalise police ,change the uniform to brown and put a swastika on it

thats why i have been content with slip ons ......... easy off / easy on . its already been said . loud pipes saves my life

Just been going through the death notices in the weekend papers.......Nope still cant find anyone that died from loud exhaust pipes...I must be looking in the wrong places !!!!

 Im fucked if they bring that in up here, we live in a land of do-gooders and rule makers.

I wonder what would happen if I goy pulled over for loud pipes, and I farted, and the cop heard it over the bike noise. Would my ass get a defect notice too?

how did society survive 50 years ago with many less rules and regulations.. im glad im getting old. i wont have to live as long in such a governed enviroment as a 20 yo. does tassie have so many regulations ? i might have to head down there for retirement.

What about the grand pricks thats fuckin noisy and at night

Its a load of bollocks

Ill keep quite now

weaz

Silly season is just finishing up here. Must have flowed down hill.

Park up for a few weeks. It doesn't hurt

I have got loud pipes on my bike as well. I know I take a risk every time I ride it, but I dont race around like a maniac. I try not to attract attention by just cruising. But could you imagine a world where every vehicle on the road sounds like a trumped up Harley. Think you will be able to sleep at night?

just got back from a ride, during which i got stuck behind a farking 4wd that spewed enough blacksmoke to turn michael jackson black...whats the cops and the e p farking a doing about them pricks????

Did i hear in their last breath they wanted to minimise motorcycle related deaths??

Australia - a country of laws - Badly Written and Randomly enforced.

Joke, fkin big joke. Pick on the fuck heads with thier doof doof shit cranking first. Instead of people out having a relaxing ride on thier bike and a meal. Harrassment major. Discrimination..

Reminder: Starts today!

Well being i have 3 set's of pipe's i can use on my FXSTC e.g Stock Standard , Screaming Eagle / Street Performance "street legal" slip on's , Cycle Shack Straight Through slip on's , i fitted my S/E slip on' while this crap operation pipe down is running . Funnily the Screaming Eagle street performance pipes sound really nice for a street legal pipe  , very throaty & deep sound only not over the top like my Cycle Shack pipe's . what surprised me the HD run's better with the S/E street legal performance pipe's than my straight through Cycle shack pipe's , the Cycle Shack pipe's sound awesome but are "loud as" .

Almost 750 Environment Protection Authority notices have been issued over excessively loud vehicles in the first three days of Operation Pipedown.

And revheads who love to prowl Melbourne's nightclub precincts in eardrum-bursting machines can expect attention this weekend when the Safe Streets taskforce zeroes in on those areas.

Police, the EPA and Melbourne City Council officials are involved in the crackdown on illegally modified cars and motorcycles.

Insp Bernie Jackson said those intercepted had 28 days to get a compliance certificate proving they had fixed the problem.

He said they could impound their vehicles or their registration could be cancelled if they did not.

Insp Jackson said Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showed dangerous and noisy driving was the top concern of people ranking problems in their community.

"We are asking people with overly loud cars and motorcycles to respect their community and tone it down," he said.

"This is an opportunity for people to have a listen and think about the level of noise from their vehicle, and consider the impact on people's health and the local amenity."

Car noise levels must be under 90 decibels and motorcycles must not exceed 94 decibels.

About 5000 EPA notices for excessively loud vehicles are issued in Victoria every year.

Operation Pipedown is supported by the Environment Protection Authority, the Victorian Deaf Society and Harley-Davidson.

It will also deal with other breaches including unroadworthy vehicles, drink-driving and use of mobile phones while driving.

Insp Jackson said the operation had been launched because of the "significant" number of complaints received about loud vehicles.

He said the operation was also another way for police to tackle hoon drivers.

"Noisy hoon drivers could ultimately face having their vehicle's registration suspended, another incentive for hoons to tone it down and drive responsibly," he said.

"If the prospect of having their vehicle impounded doesn't phase some hoons, then perhaps facing loss of registration will."
