Three words Sister WindSister After Market Pipes. My arguement for this is that motorists, many of whom are blind, need an aural clue to know you are about. So a loud tuneful and horny note is imperative as a safety measure !! In my jurisdiction the local constabulary and EPA officers do not subscribe to my theory unfortunately, and have a tendency to issue infraction warnings and the odd fine. These officers seem to think my motive is not *safety* at all and is more to do with me being a smart arse, which of course is completely untrue. Well, fairly untrue. Ok Ok - somewhat accurate. But, when you are going through a cutting with the echo effect on either side, and the bike whispering to you "open the taps baz, go on, crank it on" how can one resist ?? Loud pipes no longer work anymore. My Ford Fusion has active noise cancelling and turns a straight pipe HD into a Vespa. |

Next time you are at a stop sign and you see a motorcycle coming, close your eyes and open them when you can hear it. If you pulled out just before you opened your eyes, you'd have pulled out right in front of the bike. The crash would happen, anyway, whether the bike had straight pipes or mufflers. |
