I had no idea they had motorcycle cruises. I'm impressed that they have the capabilities to load and unload them from the ship to support this. Yes, I know they load cargo/food all the time but personal (and expensive) property like that is another thing. Who knew!

I personally am not a fan of large groups of loud motorcycles rolling through an area - and I say this as a former motorcyclist for many years.

What irks me the most is the flagrant disregard for noise ordinances. If I had a car that made as much noise as many of the hogs that I encounter, I would be ticketed in an instant. I just don't understand why police turn a deaf ear to this. Then, when you put them together in a large group, it's downright painful.

I have no idea if SXM has noise laws - or if anyone enforces them if they do - and I'm not trying to start a debate and get this thread shut down. I just wanted to offer another viewpoint.
