Loud pipes save... time.

[KungFooBob]

I was at a set of red lights in Sheffield today, on a dual carriage way roundabout. I could hear a bike, I turned to look and the lights must have just changed as it shot passed me.

It was a Hardly, I think it was the same one MLB has, had frickin' loud pipes on it. So I sets off after it, he's riding like a bit of a nob, I like his style so tuck in behind him. We're in Friday afternoon city centre traffic, it's gridlock.

It was quite fun, but he thought his bike was wider than it was, so didn't go for the narrow gaps. Instead he'd just blip the throttle... and the cars would part like the red sea, it was hilarious. I want one.

On the subject of pipes. I saw an XSR900 in a bike shop today with the LC look-e-likey body kit. It had a pair LC stylee cigars on it!!!

It looks like an LC that's been in a heavy crash and now none of the bodywork fits.

Are particularly minging on a 4 stroke

I like it. Dono about white with that belly pan but the black n red version may look nicer.

And a dodgy coloured LC at that, but yeah it looks pretty damn shunted to me.
And whats that box on the frame for?

Exactly this, it looks shit and you can blame all the old folk trying to relive their youth giving manufacturers no reason to build new or modern stuff, instead building crap facsimiles of bikes from years gone by.

Black ones always looked better

Unused powerbands innit.

The red powerbands were best

Must have used a few to build up the speed for the shunt.

Overall I still see the xsr as a very messy bike

The black ones were faster

Took the loud pipes off my guzzi after it set the neighbours car alarm off

[The Spin Doctor]

I actually rather like that!

I met up with some guys from the Sportster facebook page on a bank holiday Monday and rode with them to Southend sea front. There is nothing quite like riding with a load of Harleys. The noise is incredible. Cars in traffic will climb kerbs to let you through. People stop and stare! Then when we parked up in a very neat line with all the front wheels turned in the same direction, people came over and had their photographs taken with the bikes!

somewhat more sporty exhausts are 'on the list' for better times, cos the standard just don't have that awesome throaty rumble!!

Iirc those moto velocity xsr kits are £1200 unpainted, but you do get a homemade subframe to fit the back end to!
