anyone ride bikes?

Just put a deposit down on a ducati 1198, moved up from a gsxr 600, I can't wait to pick it up in two weeks.

I’ve got a Schwinn World Sport that I’ve kept in mint condition for over twenty years, but I don’t get out like I used to; mostly because I don’t want to be associated with those jackasses on the weekend wearing xenomorph headgear, spandex pants, and goofy looking tap shoes who actually believe they’re racing in the tour de France, but are really just a traffic hazard.

We are talking about bikes right?

I ride a Suzuki VS800 intruder and a 1984 GSX750 EF, after my GSX 750 ES (the daddy of all GSXes) died last month.

Best thing in the world.

Wow! That's a real step up. You've got a great ride for the upcoming season. I'd be excited too if I had that to pick up in two weeks. Looking forward to another season on the Blackbird here.

Yeah i was going to say "Yeah i ride a mountain bike at work when i can, Great exercise because of the big steep hill I Like to peddle up" But as of Motorcycles My elder Brother almost killed himself falling off it way back when. I tend to stay away from them. I do like to look at them though. That one above my post is a nice looking one.

That's a nice ride, what kind of exhausts did you fit on there?

 

[miskiduk]

They're just the boring old stock exhausts (still pretty enough though!). The police in my town are really hot on loud bike exhausts so I haven't dared upgrade to Screamin' Eagles yet.
The one thing I don't like about my bike is that Yamaha make them purr - just doesn't sound right for a cruiser to lack that Harley-thump!

Yeah, don't get it either. Here the law considering noise production from motorcycles is really weird (each vehicle get a specified limit) so for instance a VW Golf is allowed to produce a maximum of 90 dB. Now this is a problem if you fit fat exhaust on such a car because cops know the limits for cars but they don't know the noise limit for bikes.

So I bought me a set of laser exhausts which produce a wonderful thumping noise.

Bikes? Psh.

Have you ridden the Ducati yet? To answer you, I haven't done any mods to the CBR. All the tech advice says to leave them as is to keep the system balanced. It's fast enough for me as it is.
