Like Wolfman I to live in NH and often ride to the Hampton area mentioned, as well as the beaches in Maine. I couldn't agree more with all the excellent post submitted on this topic. Our situation is no different than any other area in the country, a few thoughtless people are all it it takes to piss someone off and soon another House Bill is introduced. One thing we can be sure of neither side will ever give up. It's a loose - loose situation all around. Are there not enough laws on the books that if enforced could eradicate the minority that are causing this problem? Maybe they don't want to enforce the laws! Easier to just outlaw everthing. Although I have heard from a few law enforcement officials that they are having some success in a few towns like Milford NH. The word has spread around to avoid the area if you will violate the noise statutes, I have RHTD on my 08 SERK and ride carefully when I visit my son and his family when I travel through Milford and have not had any incidents. Bike week is coming up in June at our Lakes region and the animals will be out in full force, our state tolerates the annual devastation left behind because of the trade off with the boost in capital, it's all about the money that is brought in to the state and local towns.
Honestly I don't think this legislation will pass, but it's just a matter of time. The majority will pay for the antics of the few.
