#1 complaint in the Briarcliff Community is not bike sound, it is the noise from the PA and the music that is sometimes played over the PA. We have addressed this by turning down the volume and not using it on practice weekends unless absolutely necessary.
As far as testing bikes, I have heard many varying issues about consistency in the testing procedure. It hasnt become an exact science yet. Plus I am absolutely packed on time.I don't have the extra hours to babysit the manufacturers, riders, and aftermarket companies on their products that concerned citizens are deeming "too loud". I do agree that it should be a priority. But I'm not the guy to take up the fight, unless you want me to drop one of the following: the OMA, my family, briarcliff, my job, or my personal riding. All are very important to me. Maybe you should form a riding preservation council and push this agenda?? Just a suggestion. I think those that offer suggestions should pick up the sword or simply leave it on the table. Maybe it's fine laying on the table undisturbed.
