Rachel's one of my favorite people in the Keys, but somehow, I just can't get over the fact that it's not enough for people to play their loud music in every marina in the Keys. Now they have to do it underwater. Buy them some earphones.

If our ears hear no evil, we might as well be free from seeing and smelling it too. >> Rachel's one of my favorite people in the Keys, but somehow, I just can't >> get over the fact that it's not enough for people to play their loud >> music in every marina in the Keys.

Keep the marine environment clear of audio, visual and olfactory pollution. If I'm not mistaken, either the state of Florida or some of its municipalities recently passed legislation banning car radios played at volumes that can be heard more than a set number of feet from the vehicle. It's about time. It should be legal to shoot the speakers in any car whose woofers drown out my entire stereo system from two cars away, despite everybody's windows being rolled up. I don't wish harm to the people who own the speakers, but perhaps the financial burden of replacing speakers every day would bring home the fact that the volume knob on a stereo works both ways. I wish they'd pass similar legislation regarding boat radios in areas where boaters tend to congregate, sand bars, for example, and particularly in marinas.

And then ban Harleys too, or let me shoot their engines. I live on a street where some local bikers love to ride up and down revving their engines as loudly as any over-amped woofers. > And then ban Harleys too, or let me shoot their engines.

There's little excuse for the wide open exhaust system on most Harleys except, of course, when properly muffled, they sound kind of sickly, not up to the macho Hell's Angel image at all.

Too bad they can't go from one to the other with a flick of the switch. I have no problem with the noise on the open highway. In fact, it's helpful in California where lane splitting is allowed because you can hear them approaching when you might otherwise miss them in your blind spot and sideswipe them during a lane change (been there, done that). But even though my street has a state highway number, it's purely residential and hardly "open" highway. It is also, unfortunately, very straight, and with its slight downhill grade, very tempting. > Too bad they can't go from one to the other with a flick of the switch.

Cutouts that could be opened from inside the car were pretty common when I was a kid. I don't know anybody that used them on motorcycles, but lots of cars had them. My street is roughly one block long and I still have a problem. There's a 4 lane road two houses away that's straight as an arrow, with no intersecting streets for a mile or so. You may assume it's a drag strip for just about everybody less sedate than I've become. The Harley's aren't the only problems. Both cars and Jap bikes are at least as annoying and, at least as common. Lee It does make the Navy's sonar sound good.. >>>And then ban Harleys too, or let me shoot their engines.
