As reported by the Belgian media, the Stavelot-Malmedy police have been carrying out more traffic controls especially for motorcyclists since June. Stavelot-Malmedy is located in the Liège region, west of the German-Belgian border, roughly at the level of the southern Eifel. This region is also home to the famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

In the recent past, there have been increasing complaints from residents about motorbikes that are too loud, and they have also complained about the excessively high speeds being driven. Some routes have therefore already been closed to motorcyclists.

Whoever manipulates remains standing

Now the police are trying to get a handle on what is happening through more controls. The specially trained emergency services pay particular attention to the exhaust systems. In the event of suspicion, the noise level is measured on site. If manipulations are discovered, the affected machines are shut down immediately. Minor violations will result in a fine. Last weekend, four motorcycles were taken out of circulation during these controls: two athletes and two choppers.

How do you feel about motorcycling and noise??

There is no need for excessive noise, so I adapt my driving style.

This is not noise, but sound – and it is part of riding a motorcycle, no matter how loud.
