Hi Alex,
thanks for the site comments and yours is not too shabby either!
The site will be closing at the end of the month and will re-apear in another format... probably minus the "loud pipes" logo;-)) though I still have a tee-shirt with it on.
Having said that, I still love 'em. I'm not talking race pipes but stuff with nice rounded, fruity sound.
Living in a area full of deer and boars, they are very good at stopping the wildlife jumping out on me!
They are also good at letting the deaf and blind buggers in their cars know that you are about.
I do not like the BMW/Honda approach of making a bike sound like a compressor. Come to think of it, all my German mates call BMW's Komressors as well.
I notice that your bike is an "older" model and so does not suffer from the whispering death exhaust of the newer models.
Here in France there is a more liberal view from the locals who like a good sounding bike - except for the 2 stroke stingers.
Beers,
John
