Two New York City council members and the city's public advocate have proposed limits on motorcycle noise and daredevil riding, allowing the city to impound motorcycles and levy hefty fines or jail terms for repeat offenders.

Sponsored by Councilman Bill de Blasio, the legislation focuses on motorcycles like a "Pop-a-Wheelie Kawasaki, which encourages riding on one wheel, and excessively loud Harley-Davidsons," such as one on display with straight pipes that "could wake Mayor La Guardia," De Blasio told the New York Times.
