I agree, but I don't see anyone complaining about the harleys screaming up the street at 1:00 in the morning waking up the kids. Why are bikes any different?

Bikes get a pass because other motorists tend to run into them. Everyone figures if you can hear a motorcycle you are less likely to get in an accident with one. I'm not saying it is fair, but that is the sentiment.

And a loud Skater running down the lake at 160 should be 86 dbs.

Speaking of WL, where has he been this year? Haven't seen it out yet.

I have seen it a couple of times, but not much.

I'm cool with the running around, it's idling around PC and revving up the engines for a straight hour that seems ignorant to me.

I'm all for the sound of big CI motors, blower surge, ect ect. But after ten minuets it gets old. But the smell that boat puts out is always welcome in my nasal cavity.
