Not only do I ride ATV's, stock exhaust I might add, but I also hike, mountain bike, and enjoy getting out into the back country for some camping. I get the "sound pollution" argument.<br /><br />But this doesn't only apply to OHV. Sometimes I'll be hiking not too far off the road. It'll be nice a quiet, and then you hear some really loud street bike flying by on a nearby road. Yes OHV users should recognize the sound pollution argument and proactively take action. I just hope they also consider street vehicle noise pollution as well.

It is a one to one relationship with noise and access and we all need to get involved. If you are quiet then you need to ask folks that are too loud to ask them to consider the consequences of their actions. Get on line with the manufactures of mufflers and ask them to spend more on research to make a muffler quiet and still increase power. The technology is out there. If we do not self-police ourselves we will continue to see closures. Please get involved! Don Amadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045787382896008473noreply@blogger.com
