'Girlfriend scared of exhaust tone'

[R6_kid]

Was browsing a couple of cheap exhuasts on ebay and found this little gem on a $1 reserve auction:

"I bought this item from the dealer upon purchase of bike. It is a used exhaust slip-on, aproximately 1 month of use. Girl friend is scared to get on the bike due to the tone of the exhaust, she says it sounds to fast and scary to ride... so I am putting the stock exhaust back on."

Anyone else had this problem before?

:laugh:

[MSTRS]

Does the seller offer COD? Smells like scam

[hXc]

Someone's whipped. Hahaha.

I love the consideration you have for your Girlfriend Gareth....:yes: with that attitude mate you will go far, and no i have never had that problem cos the Neptune is just a lovely sound and Anne likes it...oh and the vibration in her right foot....;)

[Kornholio]

oh and the vibration in her right foot....;)

Strange place to have her foot..... :wacko:

[klingon]

I'm scared of the sound of washing machines, vacuum cleaners, clothes dryers and irons. But I'm not afraid of bikes. So it's with deep regret that I'm going to have to go out riding while my boyfriend does the house work. Poor me! :weep:

Sorry mum! :whistle:i took the pills but on closer inspection realised i took a handful of HRT pills instead of the HTFU ones...:mobile:

[Blair-SV]

my girl made me take the yoshi's off her SV thou because it was too loud and she was sick of wearing ear plugs everyday. Not that I was about to protest, now my bike sounds really nice.

If it doesn't set off car alarms when you go by, it's not that loud :D

[Karma]

What's this girlfriend thing you people keep talking about?

agreed! there is nothing like noise to tell everyone that you are there!

After being on a large bike that WAS silent, cars turned into me along the motor way. No way now! they know I am there.

cant really see him with the iron or vac in his hands :oi-grr:

[vifferman]

The vifferbabe doesn't mind the sound of the Satantune sans spud, but doesn't like me "fiddling" and doesn't like the way the zorst looks when it's not spudded up.
In any case, it really gets on my nerves, so I mostly ride with the MkII Spud.

[90s]

If my bike wasn't damn loud blipping the throttle how else would the wife know when to open the garage door to let me back in?

[The Lone Rider]

my gn sets of car alarms :whocares:

Yes, but does your debaffled or open pipe GN sound good like it is. It's a little bit tricky to get a 250 cruiser loud and sounding not to thin or rattly.

[Kornholio]

my gn sets of car alarms :whocares:

Running into said car doesn't count :zzzz:

First time I've ever been called "proper"! :killingme

[Her_C4]

I think he meant a properly improper girlfriend... :devil2: :bleh:

I think he meant a properly improper girlfriend... :devil2: :bleh:

Aaaahhh yes, but...hang on , no... I mean yes...oh heck! I'm confused now:wacko:

Anyway...my hubby's Micron pipes are very loud, and I absolutely LOVE the sound of his bike!!! :love::clap:

i hear him coming home from 2 intersections up the road, and yes, I will (if able at the time) open the garage door for him...But that's generally cos the pipes' noise has had its effect on me :devil2:

My bike has got aftermarket pipes on which gives the nicest rumble and yes, she may be deemed noisy, but that's why I bought her...

Loud but not uncouth, we are! :innocent:

I saw him jump on Gordie once cos a Red Admiral butterfly landed on his shoulder....right shouder i think....:dodge:

[avgas]

Girlfriend didnt like the ZX4, but i cant blame her as it made me tone deaf after every 100kph ride.
current bike is good as it is not super loud like the zx was, but loud enough for me to hear whatever speed.
