That seems pretty hard to believe. Is the government leaning on them to do this? I can't see business owners stopping customers good money from going into their pockets.
The rangers in our public riding areas are only looking for two things; a spark arrestor and the proper registration. I wish that they were looking at decibels as well. Hate to bash 'em (okay, that's a lie, I love to bash 'em), but the quad crowd down here really seems to like loud pipes.
I've heard of CA rangers checking the emissions parts that come stock on the Honda 450X, they carry pictures to compare to bikes. Of course 450X out number us 5000:1, one time the odds are with us.

I just read Coffee's post, he said the same thing.
