Did I understand the law correctly in that it applies only to bikes manufactured after 1/1/2013? Will that have any impact on bike sales beginning with that manufacturing date? As aluded to in the article, how does this law prevent only loud exhaust systems? The legal use of any exhaust system not approved by the EPA, regarless of sound level produced, will be affected after 1/1/2013. An aftermarket, non-EPA approved exhaust system may be as quiet (if not more so) than stock and it would still be illegal. Is there more to this law than just noise abatement?

Like the article says, it was poorly-written and it still made it into law. Something seems a little fishy about this new law and how it managed to become so.

In addition to the bike and/or non-EPA approved exhaust system manufacturing date beginning with 1/1/2013 CVC Section 27202.1 only applies to bikes registered in California. Both criteria must be met for the law to be enforced and then only as a secondary infraction.

I wonder if in January, 2013 there will be a lot of bike owners suddenly refistering their bikes in other states.

Motorcycling is a agreat skill and an art too... With the many things and responsibilities that most people attend to, it is very common that people do multitask to finish everything. You can see people eating a sandwich while rushing to work or people typing while answering a phone call.
In motorcycling, if it is one of the activities you cannot refuse doing; you can still do multitasking and yet still feel safe.
Cardo Scala has a line of communication devices that can let you drive and ride freely and undisturbed while doing other things along.
Cardo Scala has headset system that can allow you to enjoy your music or practice your singing while driving along the long and quiet roads, especially in areas away from downtown. In addition, Cardo Scala has the latest G4 headset that can allow wireless headset to headset communications while going on a 60mph wind noise pollution. With their G4 headset, about four people can have chat, discuss and plan altogether while driving and these people being in different locations up to a mile. Cardo Scala headsets can allow you to do all that.
Also in driving, you might want to take along with your some important stuff – personal or otherwise – and you cannot hold them while driving. Willie Max bags can hold things for you so you can focus on your driving and do other tasks than to hold your stuff so they won’t fly off. They can even fit under your motorcycle seats. Willie Max bags have premium quality and numerous styles to choose from and to fit all your needs. Also, these bags are affordable so you get great value for your money. These bags have been in the business for over 20 years so the company’s reputation cannot be discounted anymore.
So it’s great to be able to do all your tasks while enjoying the rides on your bike.
