Welcome to the forum Mike; good first post. I'll try to keep the drool off of the Aprilia...
I too ride a quiet bike (Ninja) and wish the NPS would enforce the noise ordinance on the Harleys.

So, Debris Magnet, are you interested in climbing? It sounds like you'd fit right in.
There's even a route in Yosemite called Cosmic Debris. Though it's pretty difficult, and might take you a while to work up to.

Dear citizens
Step forward and refuse to be bullied!
http://www.noisefree.org/howtofightnoisemanual.pdf
My parochial but essential experience:
I lived in quiet neighborhood in Connecticut, where neighbors frequently and easily held conversation on the street. Then, the town was "discovered" by an overwhelming number of loud motorcyclists, to the point to which most residents felt their most basic of freedoms -- the right to free speech in their own neighborhood -- had been essentially removed. The neighborhood protested against what was basically a lazy police department, until finally through an election, laws were followed and sanity returned. Loud motorcycles in that town are now rare.
It works, there are plenty of other examples, you just need to look about and stand-up for your rights.
If this helps: Regardless of my conservative party affiliation, political differences were easily nullified.
Regards,
Max2

You'll love the tacos and tacoettes here..(even the ones you love to hate, hehe.) But you may have a problem getting sucked into the vortex....if you don't know what that means now, you will in a month or two. Smiles, Lynne

Definitely. I got interested in climbing when I was in the boy scouts, and branched out on my own to amateur caving. I've got a decent set of gear (static and dynamic ropes, couple different harnesses, various ascent, belay, anchor gear, and so forth. My wife and I just moved to San Jose from Atlanta. The southeast doesn't have a whole lot to offer for climbing, now that we're here I've got a great opportunity to watch and learn, and do and learn. I need to start bouldering again to get back in shape, rebuild the right habits, and generally learn what I don't (that being quite a lot right now).

Debris, you may want to come to the Yosemite FaceLift, on September 24th - 28th. A big volunteer thing, cleaning up the park, but also a lot of fun, and even some climbing. Many SuperTopians are there (50+ last year), and camp and festivate together.
Some general information about it is on the Yosemite Climbing Association website at http://yosemiteclimbing.org/index.html, though it may not have been updated recently.
Or simply search on SuperTopo, under "FaceLift". Lots to see. The most recent of many threads is at http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=654978

I was jus kiddin, see, when i post that, it is me givin the bump, which goes against my post, so it is kind of a joke, was it too deep or too stupid, probably a little of both, with a dash of crypticism thrown in for measure good, cuz i wanna talk like chief Krauk.
\
where is everybody, stuck in traffic?
some of my jokes really suck.
i took down the coffin joke from Taledega Nights, full props going out to me for a new low as far as being tasteless, sorry Ol Blue, do not trundle my ass off the cliff as i have no money for a rope yet,...

Time to bump this one.
So we can move the Park Service to do something? Messing with those
Harleys is like messing with apple pie and Teabaggers. The Park Service
is too afraid they would have their budget cut.

Yep, it's "bikes in the mountains" season again. They've been in our mountain community for a few weeks now, with more noise impact (by far) than the rest of the touron hordes put together.
Selfish, noisy idjuts.
