Noise
Sir.—Once again the poor motorcyclist has been singled out as a target for ignorance and prejudice. Motorcycles, as well as cars, have to comply with warrant-of-fitness standards, and any motorcycle is quiet by comparison with that more frequently encountered device, the diesel lorry. I have been riding motorcycles for nearly 10 years and have never received any complaints regarding noise. Perhaps I should not be too hard on “Noise Abatement”; judging from his remarks about hen houses and kennels I imagine that the sound of a passing silk-worm would prove intolerably noisy to ’him.— Yours, etc., VELOCETTE 350.
March 10, 1937. [This correspondence and the associated one on noisy motorcycles are now closed. Ed., “The Press.”]
