7/7/05-House and Senate lawmakers reached agreement late last month on a measure that would increase penalties for motorcycle riders whose bikes are too loud.
HB326 calls for banning so-called “straight pipes” on exhaust systems that police chiefs in the state say lead to excessive noise and a lot of complaints from residents in the summer. Those caught with straight pipes or louder than the legal limit would be fined at least $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second offense and a minimum of $500 for each additional violation within the calendar year.
It now awaits the signature of Gov. John Lynch. For bill status, call (603) 271-2239.
