    I wish police would simply enforce noise ordinances

    Easier said than done, unfortunately. They need sound meters to do anything reliably, and then there’s the issue of catching them. Even slow, inefficient bikes tend to be much faster and more maneuverable than patrol cars, so motorcyclists are quite a bit more likely to run. Especially the ones that are already violating noise ordinances.

      You know what is faster than a motor bike?

      Radiowaves.

      The police patrol knows the direction that the biker is going, call a patrol there.

      Light is also faster than a motor bike, get a recording of the license plate and use that to find it.

      Or if the church/neighbours simply start logging the guy’s schedule, give it to the police and have them wait for him.
