Whirlygigs in exhaust pipe...

[slofox]

Saw this yesterday...nearly ran off the road laughing.

Four guys riding Hardleys came past (me in the cage on way to collect herself and go norf). No. 1 in line was a monster of a thing - one of the real big mothers.

In the end of his zorst pipes, he had these little doovers that spun round and round in the gas flow...I wondered just how old the rider was...ten maybe? Kinda like as a kid, sticking a topsy stick into the spokes with a rubber band to make "motorbike noises"...


Oh, and yes, I followed them round a ninety degree leftie. I reckon I could push my bike round there faster than they could ride those tractors...so little ground clearance.

I thought that's what their tassles were for?

"tailgunners"...

One has to wonder if tassles get caught in them...

[javawocky]

Tailgunner :clap::lol:

Im sorry - they take 'wank factor' to a whole new level.

Hard to be taken seriousley with something like that on a bike. Still - Im sure it impressed the other accountants at the firm he worked at - what a badass.

The one bike I've seen them on locally belongs to a guy who's ex-military. I don't think he cares much whether other people consider him badass or not. But where would KB be without ignorant sweeping generalisations about Harley riders?

Tailgunners are fine.

No the tassles are to scare the pidgeons of from landing them when they're out for a ride!

[MIXONE]

Shit I wonder if they make them for Ducatis?

Well they are a slip-on - and yes someone slipped up on a pair!

Harley riders, Honda riders, GSXR riders, scooter riders, push bike riders, asian drivers, pedestrians, and any other group that becomes the topic of the day....

[AD345]

For a bunch that wants to be recognised as individual riders in their (our) own right and not lumped in with stereotypical prejudices held by non-motorcyclists (ala "you're all temporary kiwis" "maniac organ donor bikies" blah blah) you're a judgemental little bunch of fuckwits aint ya?

[vifferman]

That's one seriously bad looking Ducati! :sick:

[bogan]

well I think they are kinda cool! definetly wouldnt suit all bikes though

[AllanB]

I've seen them at a local dealers. There is a bladed fan in the muffler body that the gasses force to rotate the main 'gun' body. The example I heard was not doing much muffling!

I prefer them in black.


The Bussa has ray guns!

A large %age of people who served in the military are simply low ranking cannon fodder. They are no tougher than you average farmer - although generally not as bright.

Of course 99.9% of them like to be portrayed of as bad ass deltaforcegreenberetnavysealninja types.

Then there is Sarge - he just kicks ass.

Blah blah blah. Another day, another HD piss take. What makes you so superior?

I know the exhaust you're on about and it's not something I'd want on my bike but I hope I'm not so f'kin' stuck up as to look down my nose at somebody who did.

Grow up and get the f'k over yourself.

OK, but does that compensate for his lack of wit or superiority complex?

You can learn a lot on this site...

I never realised Harley riders were so touchy.

Nice double intake headers on those ducati models. The twin cheek exhausts are pretty trim too!

What makes you think I ride a Harley? Some days I do as it happens and on other days I ride my other bikes. Then again, I'm genuinely into bikes for what they are, not what I think my sensitive peer group might condone.

Anyway, I'm not touchy. I've just no time for snobs and am bored of people with no imagination or wit.

At the "White Ribbon Ride", (You know the one where we all stood up against family violence. Where the ones in leathers admitted that we can cry and we are not all perfect, where we stood in front of children and females and told them we love them. I am sure you did ride in that one too...) I rode with a Patriot who had them on his HD. When asked what they were for, he told us that his kids loved them. THAT was reason enough for me.

Tassles, tailgunners, fluro vests, carbonfibre exhaust, rainbow leathers, goldwings and trailers, who gives a shit. We do what we do because we love it. Learn to accept that we are all different and you will get much more respect.

Funny, I haven't even seen any of those around. Farkles are OK, I just can't afford them!

A couple of paintball Gatling gun's on each side of the Tiger would get me pumped! :2guns: Fuck I could make some mess! :lol: duckaduckaducka..........oose! :cool:

Yes. You are. Buy a Guzzi too. Oh, and a nice old Bonnie, and an R1 and, erm, some nice dirt bikes, and one of those new Nortons. Erm, oh, a nice Ducati too. Bikes are just fuckin' cool. All of 'em. :2thumbsup
