Yuba Pass is that way... A lot of motorcycles but by far the Harleys are th=
e
worst... Only thing on the road that is "allowed" (?) to run with straight
pipes. They will never ban Harleys as there are a lot more hog riders than
nature recorders.
Here in Phoenix the rubberized asphalt is great... Lowers the road noise in
the car by 5db

There are so many harley davidson motorcycles up here, I'm thankful when I
detect the sound of approaching tires. Each harley motorcycle lasts from 2
to 4 minutes depending on the geography. Each one wipes the slate. With as
many as 10-20 an hour at peak cruising times,
there are times the animals can't slip in a word edgewise. How
about highways that are off bounds for trucks and harleys? Seems like
communities who enjoy the peace would be ready to respond. Rob D.
