Don't know. But it does bring to mind something I read today in American Motorcyclist. You know how some folks say "Loud pipes save
lives", and other folks counter with "No, loud pipes cost rights!"? Guess who was right? As of June 4th, anybody who lives in or
rides through Denver, Colorado now have a law specific to motorcycles. Any motorcycle built after 1982 there must have the OEM pipes
on it, or it gets a 500 dollar ticket. If your muffler wears out over time or is damaged in a crash, you'd be forced to purchase an
exact replacement from the dealership at OEM prices, if they're available at all. The example they totted up was for a 2004 Kaw Mean
Streak. It'd be $1,331, plus bolts, hangers, etc. For a 1996 Suzuki Bandit, it'd be $1,206, for a bike that has a resale value under
$2000.
Worst case is a 1983 Honda V45 Interceptor. The parts you can buy would cost 672 dollars, but two of the headpipes and the left
muffler are discontinued. So that bike would be illegal to ride in Denver, throw it on the scrap-pile.
Way to go, Denver bikers!

I don't think the general public was impressed with the loud bikes, or even intimidated.
