No.
£30 fine and possibly a rectification notice.
general advice is be sensible in town, don't attract attention to you'reself by riding stupidly and you should be fine.

Yeah Sally's right in a way. (as in totally correct) IME they draw attention to you when you are doing naughty things so more likely to get points for the riding. :smt102 but still worth it I guess.
Even though they've given me 6 of my current 9 points

Argh, that's a bit scary 8-[

The MOT tester I used to go to said that the exhaust should be no louder than xDb's but as the DOT dont supply decidel meters to meausure how loud a pipe is he used to pass anything with out not for road use on. Also how many police vehicles are fitted with a Db meter to say how loud it is. I use to ride a Buell X1 with a Pipe with no baffle or wadding (it use to spit it all out in about 100 miles) and never got a ticket, but i did for a single row numberplate by a keen plod who pulled me over when I was stationary and facing him, so he pulled me for no reason then found a fault for which i got a ticket.
