The main point of the law if you read closely is how the violation is to be determined... Not too many police officers carry around the proper equipment and also have the certified training to operate it. Without such proof any officer writing such a ticket has no legal ground to stand upon.
(If hearsay was legal then the police departments wouldn't waste time putting radar guns in their patrol cars and train the officers how to use them, if they could simple just write a ticket because they thought the car was speeding... They have to abide by the law too or the ticket they write is of no merit)
I know my car is fairly loud but only if you get on it. At an idle or crusing at a steady speed I seriously doubt it would exceed the State law... O' and it's a GMMG exhaust... Now my Harley
is another matter altogether I doubt it could idle below that number even at 50 ft... But I haven't had a problem with it and I've pulled up along side other cyclist cops and they usually say hello nice bike, etc,.. Their pretty cool about it, Most cops are gear heads at heart anyway...

Yep, I missed the 50ft. part. I was thinking along the lines of when you see the db levels in car tests, but thats the noise in the cabin, made me think they probably make a lot of noise outside.
Makes me curious, I'm running a bullet myself.
