Police act over noisy motorbike exhausts in Llan

Police are urging motorcyclists to ensure their bikes are legal after tickets were handed out at the weekend for exhaust offences.

Seven motorcyclists were handed TORs (Traffic Offence Reports) last Sunday afternoon on the Horseshoe Pass, Llangollen following several complaints regarding noisy bikes.


* An exhaust without a 'baffle'.
Inspector Alun Davies of the Roads Policing Unit said: “We get complaints from residents across north Wales every weekend regarding noisy exhausts on motorbikes.

"Only recently I attended a meeting in Llangollen where noisy exhausts from motorcycles was the main complaint I received.

“We find that motorcyclists are deliberately removing the ‘baffles’ from exhausts which then makes them extremely loud. We are simply asking bikers to have respect for local residents and to ensure their bikes are fully legal.”
