| Group Looking to Provide a Sound Solution to Excessive Motorcycle Sound |
At a recent meeting, motorcycle enthusiasts and sellers, law enforcement,
legislative and government officials, and a national expert recently began the
process of crafting a real solution to resolving concerns about excessive vehicle
sounds. The intended goal of the group is to avoid a band-aid approach which
looks good on paper but doesn’t resolve the core issues. The first meeting
involved testing multiple types of motorcycles and lengthy discussions regarding
solutions.
“It is important for everyone to realize that this is a complex problem with many
contributing factors” said Candy Alexander, Vice President of the New Hampshire
Motorcyclist Rights Organization (NHMRO), “in order to really fix this problem, we
need to look at it from a factual standpoint and as a whole community. There is
more to it than just motorcyclists. We need to look at the problem from all
angles”.
Anticipated proposed legislation coming in 2012 is likely to impose mandatory
use of EPA labeled pipes; however, the label is not guaranteed to meet the
federal standard after only a few thousand miles. Further, the anticipated
legislation won’t affect older motorcycles, riders that modify the exhaust
systems but which are still labeled; nor will it address other noise sources like
passenger cars and stereos.
Representative Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry), the Chair of the
Transportation Committee in the House of Representatives, called together the
NH Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA), state and local law enforcement, ,
motorcycle dealerships, the NHRMO, the NH Division of Motor Vehicles, and the
American Motorcyclist Association, to discuss the sound problem and to identify
a practical solution.
“This is something that the NHADA, takes seriously and we want to ensure that
we contribute to finding a common sense solution” stated Dan Bennett, Vice
President – Government Relations & Environmental Affairs Specialist from the
NHADA.
Imre Szauter, Government Affairs Manager for the American Motorcyclist
Association – a national organization for motorcyclists, stated that it was
exciting to be a part of the discussion. “This is the first meeting of its kind in
the nation”, he continued “it is great to see all the representatives from New
Hampshire’s communities sitting down to discuss the problem and work
together to find a solution. New Hampshire has once again taken the lead of
addressing motorcycle issues with a knowledgeable and practical approach.” Mr.
Szauter brought a national perspective to the discussion, advising what has
been attempted in other states and failed – as well as a deep understanding of
the complexity of motorcycle sound emissions and testing.
After the group’s conclusion that the proposed legislation would not address
“noise”, the group began discussing several factors contributing to the issue
such as; state inspection stations’ process for inspections, ensuring proper
testing is performed by both the inspection stations and law enforcement, and
how to make motorcyclists aware of the state requirements and consequences
for not complying.
Representative Packard believes “Whatever solution that we use to resolve this
problem, we need to ensure that it is practical and that there is awareness that
all involved understand as to how they contribute to the solution.” We are off
to a good start and the group is committed to continue to work together until
we find a practical solution to excessive sound that will keep all stakeholders,
including those concerned about excessive sound, happy”.
