HOLLYWOOD MOVIE legend and Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a controversial motorcycle noise bill, in a bid to curtail excessively loud motorbikes in the US state, Visordown has learned.
The law, which will apply to new motorcycles built from 2013 model onwards, means motorcyclists can be fined up to $250 if caught riding a machine with excessive noise pollution.
The law, SB 435, states motorcycles must be fitted with exhausts, original and aftermarket, bearing a visible EPA stamp.
"Our motorcycle-riding governor (Arnie) clearly recognizes that a few bad apples on our roads are infringing on the rights of others with their illegal, attention-seeking loud pipes," said SB 435 author Sen. Fran Pavley.
