It could be but I've never found it a waste of my time to go to
court when I had to. Either traffic court or jury duty. ;^) I don't
mind it at all, not when I know factually that I'm right. It's just
time and I've all the time in the world.
There are some motorcycles out there that are loud from the word
go. I know the LS650/S40 was loud and still is. My motorcycle is
naturally loud. Does that make me in violation of the law? Does that
make other motorcycles that are loud in violation?
I agree that particular law is so poorly worded that just about
anyone could probally beat it.
