Welcome to

State Senator Steve Oelrich used biker day at the Capitol to talk about motorcycle laws that aren’t being enforced. Oelrich took reporters on a tour to spot bikes without mufflers. It’s illegal in Florida to remove a motorcycles’ muffler. Removing the muffler makes the bike very loud. Only 10 citations were issued to bikers last year for breaking noise laws. Oelrich, a former sheriff, wants officers to start enforcing the laws.

“My thing is why even have laws on the books if we’re not going to enforce them and this is a perfect example,” said Oelrich.

While only 10 citations were written to bikers who broke noise laws, about 750 people were ticketed for playing their car stereos too loud.
