**Rider Alert!!**
Many of you remember that there is a noise ordinance in Jerome that was in the news a few years ago. Even though we haven’t heard much about it over the last few years, they still have it. About 10 days ago a buddy of mine, Jim Moore from Biker Information Guide, was reminded about that noise ordinance to the tune of a $240 fine. Next week I plan to go into much more depth on this subject as I have spoken with the Police Chief in Jerome to refresh us what the rules and policies are on this ordinance. My warning to all of you with extremely loud pipes such as fish tails, cannons, crack pipes, straight pipes with no baffles, etc. that make excessive noise just by design, I would probably find some place else to ride as those types of exhaust will surely be in violation and it would be very tough to tame them to the point of not attracting attention to yourself, especially now that locals are complaining and they are looking for it. All others, you should be fine.
Other pipes presumably should not have a problem unless you are trying to make noise. Stay tuned for next week as I will have more background information on this story and a quote from the Police Chief as to the enforcement of the ordinance. One other nugget is to be sure to stop at the stop sign right next to Spirit Room. They are definitely cracking down on the rolling stops due to all of the pedestrian traffic.
