Wow, Yoshi's on a twin,

Even with the race pipes the MV doesn't sound as good.

Nice bike :cool:

.. and did that work for all the boy racers when their cars sound a bit loud?

Nice police men and women have to enforce this stuff as you know.

I was at the Hurunui pub on my nice quiet DR250R just a few years ago (see pic) and the Harley boys arrived. On departure one showed me what loud is - it was just ridiculously deafening. That should be, and is against the law. Sorry no pic of the particular Harley in question, but they are out there.

I'm sure you'll have loads of fun on it. :)

it was off trade me - i bought it off charlie. nice guy too. he has really looked after it.

and i have NEVER written anyone up for a noisy exhaust. i'll even put up with a ported rotary. it is the MANNER that it is driven that is the issue. most of the after market HSV exhausts wouldn't pass the noise test (whatever that is...)

Looking good Marty.

How long did you have to wait for the Yoshi pipes and who got them in for you if you don't mind me asking?

Good score Marty! Small children all over the Waikato are running to their mummies...

But who doesn't like the sound of a healthy V-2??

Have fun Marty.

Yeah well I only like following the laws I agree with too - speed limits suck.

I'm not really into noise myself - wear earplugs you know.

That is one very nice looking TL by far beats the new model.

But your bike looks a hell ofa lot like Grumpy's old bike..... emm polished wheels

marty

5th July 2004, 21:16

3 things

1. can we have a rear view so we can see the plate :rolleyes:

2. does it have ohlins shocks fitted or just the stickers.

3. what time do u go down Kaipaki road. :2guns: i will send gibb's to wait for ya
1. i think it's a *qp int=v (well actually i know it is)
2. ohlins shocks
3. not telling. who says i go down kaipaki rd anyway?

maybe

3. not telling. who says i go down kaipaki rd anyway?

1. that would be breaching the wanganui computer act. (just tell us so I can tell the WHP)
2. good shocks
3. come on go that way. gibbsy can stop u just after he tickets his mother taking his son to hospital with a broken arm who is bleeding to death :devil2:

hey how about that - you've got a pic of my bike! i've got the ownership details, but it doesn't have previous owners names. i presume that's 'grumpy' off here - isn't it amazing how things go around?

Welcome to the TL club dude!.
A couple of websites if you don't already now about them.
www.tlplanet.com
www.voy.com/14718/

These threads are both good sources of information about the awesome TL.

BTW, if your interested, I have photo copies of most of the TLS writeups from the top motorcycle magazines globally, if your interested in copies. Pic quality not flash but they make good reading.

Congrats on the new arrival Marty. She looks great - nice colour.

You can't beat that V-twin sound. Sometimes animals scatter when we ride past!

Dogs will carry on like that if you are on a push-bike even.

Nice one Marty. Keep it shiny :scooter:

Dogs will carry on like that if you are on a push-bike even.Ours certainly used to. I reckon we would be safe with our watchdog only if the burglars were on bikes. :)
I have this theory that dogs sense summat that we can't see - maybe the scary black voodoo/mojo that keeps bikes upright...

8th July 2004, 05:09

Do dogs tend to bark at you when you're riding? Very few seem to be indifferent to my bike - they either bark, hide, or go absolutely nuts.
Most in cars that I'm following bark or get very excited. Ones on the side of the road usually at least look, if not bark.

I think, when I used to wear my floppy dog's ears on my helmet, that once or twice dogs in cars thought I was another dog. (I can see I've opened myself up to all sorts of comments with this!)
