ok, this subject has been brought up before, but in case anyone needs a refresher...
my bro rode down there last weekend and there were about 5 policecars in the gas station (across the street). they were directing motorcycle traffic into the gas station for exhaust "inspections". apparently they were checking for illegal "loud" pipes. there was also a group of 3 sportbike riders who had been stopped at the gas station.
my bro got off without a ticket, since he has oem factory pipes (on his harley... :laughing ). he left the scene, so i don't know if the sportbikes received citations or not. they didn't look happy so i would guess they were cited/fined.
my advice - avoid the immediate area during peak periods like weekends, especially if you have an aftermarket pipe (i know most of us do).
this area has a track record of being anti-motorcycle (for whatever reasoning)
