I live about 5 miles (on the same road) as the local Harley Davidson dealership and would love it if HD riders left the stock pipes on their bikes. While the engines do vibrate, don't dismiss the additional concussive force of an unmuffled exhaust.
Isn't there a legal limit on the amount of dB(A) produced by any vehicle?

(Sweden situation). There's recurring inspections of any vehicle, binannually or something maybe for motorcycles. The HD people I know/knew, would change back to the stock pipes for inspection, because the loud ones were not legal to use. Then just change back again.
The segment and vehicles themselves are small enough that this changeover can be made fairly easily, with immense benefits for noise pollution in cities.
The camera becomes blurry and shaky - completely useless. It's a common and well known issue if you happen to mount the phone on your handlebars (do NOT do this). I have several friends who've had this happen in the last year. All the way up to 12 Pro.
I wonder. Can this same happen on a dashboard mounted phone in a car?
ICE motorbikes seem like the most obvious type of vehicle to immediately mandate 100% EV, with an aggressive target like 12 months (to clear out existing inventory).

Oh boy I can see it now: Apple to unveil $500 All Aluminum Motorcycle Mounting Kit with vibration dampening sensors and hyper shock absorbing rubber.
Then we watch them do something incredibly stupid like pair the mounts to phones so you can't just unhook it and let a friend borrow it.
This seems like something that could be detected while it’s happening (*). Maybe iPhones could warn users before lasting damage occurs? (*) Edit: I was assuming that damage to the camera accumulates over time. If it happens on short time scales or as a single event as nicce's reply seems to suggest, this renders the notification idea moot ofcourse.
