Could not agree with you more. My question though is why do they call it common sense when it is not all that common? There are a lot of Morons out there in every aspect of life!

WAKE UP!
Sounds like your one of many that just don't get it! Do you realize the number of NON HUNTERS greatly out number hunters? So a husband and wife with their little kids pass a truck with a deer on the trailer with the feet stuck straight up, bullet holes, and the tognue hanging out. Wife makes a big stink about how cruel it is and kids will probaly aquire her veiws of this. So you say bite me. You just added to the peta population. DO YOU GET IT!!! PROTECT YOUR SPORT!!! Just because you like it doesn't mean everyone else does. Same goes for SNOWMOBILES!!! Don't be the idiot raising hell in the parking lot, the guy tearing up someones property, ect. Sad part is, you acting like an idiot on your sled makes the rest of us look bad in most peoples eyes!
You people need to get rid of your F-you if you don't like it attitude and start using some intelligence!
some are hiding there deer so you dont upset peta?LOL.people that dont hunt can bite me.

It's just like the guy that shoots his deer and puts it out where everyone can see it on the ride home to prove he is a mighty hunter instead of putting it out of site
Hey now that is a time honored and fast fading MN tradition. Damn trucks and SUVS are ruining it. That was always one of my favortie things about deer season was seeing how the deer were tied to the hood/trunk/roof of the family car.
In all seriousness (OK I do like seeing deer tied on cars) I get what you are saying, but I highly doubt a deer on a roof is gonna end deer hunting....to many people hit them with the car to want more of them.

Loud pipes save lives! In some cases, most all my vehicles have louder than stock exhaust and I'm sure of a few cases I would have hit a pedestrian that wasn't paying attention until they heard my exhaust. So there is some argument to that. A few times I have been driving quite vehicles and come inches from them after doing everything to avoid killing them. All cases would have been there fault. Its really a plus on a college campus, I'm not talking about overly loud and obnoxious. I can still talk on my phone and hear, wait that is being outlawed too.
Singling out HD will only make it worse for us and there are plenty out there trying to shut them down also but the motorcycle world has way more pull than we do.
Might be a good idea not to go to yellowstone during sturgis if you want piece and quite. But if you really want piece and quite put on a pack, hiking boots and cover some of vast amount of wilderness they are protecting that no one ever sees, its amazing. People complain about not being able to have the quite but you have a choice to find it, we don't even get the option.
When it really comes down to it, is there anyone here that hasn't broken a single law in a machine that has a engine. If so you can judge.

Fact is there are to many people period and they all have there opinions on every thing under the sun. This whole thing is going no where. Divided we fall.Were all divided and it's plain to see.No one can agree so they argue among them selves and give ideas to others that never had a thought about it. Just like the tv where some kid 20 states away finds 2 under the counter cleaning solvent that when mixed can get you hi on. So the news actually gets on and tells every one about it including the solvent to use, now every one knows what to use. I can tell you this alot of us that think we get and others do not are sadly mistaken, most are missing the main picture of life.

I can't help but lol at your replies. So I read this topic to my wife and 6yr old. They both got it. So I guess I know what kind of intelligence we are dealing with. Did I say to stop snowmobiling, hunting, or riding harleys? NO! I only used the hunting as an example which applies to the loud sleds and hds. Do you understand that things have change in the past 20-30yrs. How many people complained about sleds, HDs, hunting, ect 20-30yrs ago. Was PETA even around then(I don't know). If so, compare the numbers of greenies from then till now. Could you ride sleds in Yellowstone then w/ no resriction(YES)! Compare the number of no hunting/trespassing from then till now. Try looking thru the eyes of the greenies. And what would piss you off or motivate you to add another restriction to outdoor sports? TRY to avoid those things. I know we can't make every one happy but maybe we can stop more restrictions or even get rid of some if we all act reponsible. Every sport has its losers that make us all look bad. That's where the no hunting/trespassing signs came from. I don't want to give up on ya "snowmobiler" so here's an example that should make you get it. A Honda Goldwing(stock sled) and a Harley w/ straight pipes(loud sled) race driving careless thru town or Yellowstone. 10 people witness them.
The Honda pisses off 10 people who saw them. The Harley pisses off 10 people who saw them and 20 more people that were just of the road. Get it yet. Now if they would have just cruised threw town or YS they wouldn't have pissed anyone off. OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND! Just asking you to be respectful. We obviously both love to sled and hunt. I just hope my kids have the chance to do these things without anymore restrictions added. We don't need to add anymore fuel to the fire that is already out of control. This post started because SixtySevenGT said he could hear harleys for miles in YS. Did he hear the stock quieter HD or the straight pipe HD that were being respectfull. NO. Just the ones that are trying to be heard! I hope this makes some sense. I don't have anything against loud exhaust, just be respectful w/ it.

your example was so far out in space it made me laugh too.you can cover deer and go through life quietly.but good luck on making harley riders roll quietly because i disagree with that one too.

since riding a loud harley is safer.why tell others to ride quiet and respect the noise haters.thats the thing i dont get.they wont be closing the hyways anytime soon.sleds are a different story.
got studies to prove that?
Won't be closing roads anytime soon...bud join the AMA and read the mag. I bet every other month they have a blurb about some city cracking down on bike noise and saying you can't ride our city roads if you don't quiet down.
I'm not going to try and prove anything, just making a statement. Lets say some kids are playing ball in the drive way and there are cars up and down the street blocking their view of the road, the ball goes bouncing out in the street just in front of a kid chasing it. He or she may know better but in the spur of the moment they run half way in the street before looking as a quite vehicle drives by. I can almost guaranty with loud pipes they will already know your coming.
I had this happen in both cases, Once in a quite low profile car I watched a ball fly through the air toward the street, not being able to see any kids but hit the brakes anyway and came to a stop as a small kid darted out and made it to the center of my bumper before realizing where he was. Scared the piss out of both of us. Many times I have seen kids react differently to loud vehicles. Just common sense to me.

I own & ride a turbo sled (with muffler & tunnel dump) and a Harley with a moderate after market set of slip ons. I can understand and embrace the idea of not adding noise fuel to the greenie or any other fire. My concern is where will it all end.
"It" being our desire for State or Federal regulation of things that a person or a group might find offensive. As I watch diesel pickups with black smoke tuners fill a car from the stop light I am offended, when I hear the thumping sub woofer car beside me I am offended, when the yappy little (and big) dogs go off in the car I am walking beside in the parking lot I am offended, when the out of control children won't obey their parents in the store, cafe, theater, etc. I am offended, when the ATV (I own 4) roars by me after I have hiked to my favorite hunting spot I am offended, when the loud voiced dork feels the need to use his cell phone at the table beside me during a payed for dinner I am offended, when the commercials on my tv come on 20 decibles louder than the program I am watching I am offended, when the big rigs go by my house at 4am using jake brakes 1/2 mile from the stop sign I am offended, when Hillary Clinton speaks I am offended, when Prince sings I am offended.
You get the idea. How could we ever solve all that is offensive by pointing it out to State or Federal regulators? I think if your in for a penny on this one you better be in for a pound. Hope no one is offended by huge run on sentances. LOL. EW

Maybe they are paying attention and they tried to hit you with their car because the are tired of the stupid loud harleys hurting their ears when they drive by. Maybe next time they won't miss. (btw that's 62500 miles a year, seems to be a full time job)

you like to pet cats backwards dont you?
??? You mean starting at their back and moving to their heads?
ya, just like that
I ride a harley with fairly loud aftermarket slip-ons.
I understand the original posters concern. What's the difference between summer noise and pollution versus winter. Is it something to do with widlife migrating patterns in the winter?
Rather than going after the harley riders, black smokers and the ever annoying sound of crunchy granola bars in the peacful outdoors... make it a case to allow more access in the winter. It shouldn't be "they shouldn't have any cause I can't" it could be "I get the same because they do"
