Every motorcycle shall be operated as quietly as possible at all times within the City, and when so operated, shall be equipped with a muffler designed with baffles, resonator cylinder and other factory-made noise reducers. The muffler shall not be altered, changed or designed in any manner which would tend to increase the noise-producing effects above that of the manufacturer's design in the original equipment. A driver, operator or controller of any motorcycle shall not use the cutout of a motor while operating the same within the City, or operate a motor vehicle without a proper muffler functioning in good order, or race the motor of any vehicle, above described, so as to cause a backfire or other loud noise. The provisions of this section shall apply to the operator or operators or controllers of any motor vehicle whether on a street or within private property and in addition to other prescribed penalties, the operators of such motor vehicle in violation of this section shall be hereby declared to be a nuisance.
