> The loud ones are modified by their owners

I really wish the standard penalty for that would be "you lose your motorcycle license for 5+ years and the motorcycle is crushed into a cube before your eyes". Not "here's a 100 EUR fine and you have to undo the modifications, show us that you did it, and then put them back on".

It's completely unnecessary, hard to do accidentally, and a great way for one single person to affect thousands of others in a single day.

Agreed, I'd like to see noise laws enforced in the US also.

Motorcycles are probably the main offenders but some cars, trucks, and even 2-stroke gas scooters can be ridiculously loud. The law should not discriminate.
