According to my colleague (who is a serious car modder, not a shitty rice racer), cap tilted one way means "just cruisin' ", tilted the other way means "ready to race".Originally Posted by Fairlie
Nearly shat myself laughing when I heard that.

Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

then people will know where to come and find you.
If ya wanna make noise, and believe me I love it (drive a jet for a living), then do the noise thing in a place that isn't going to draw the bright lights of scrutiny or else we will get a heap of stupid noise legislation in this country that is going to piss us all off (Rozzers included). We are now all shaving with some of the worlds greatest Jet Aircraft because they eventually became just too noisey..
NSW EXAMPLE: Wracking up Sydneys M5 (not too far from the Airport) on me old Bandit at an exciting pace (yep I admit could have killed at that speed) and got caught fair and square (fair enough I took the risk). Whilst Rozzer is writing me out instant fine (around $400) he is casually eyeing my pipe up and asks questions about its noise levels. Luckily the pipe is standard and he is satisfied with the Suzuki part number on the side and sends me on my way with a watchful ear. A few Kays up the motorway there is a big sign (I mean a whopper) that has three words "EXCESSIVE NOISE $2000" A LOUD and clear message I reckon over something that prolly wont kill anyone is certainly a legacy to all the Boy Racers, Truckies & Bikers that have been giving it a bit of 2AM tit in residential areas that can afford the time to lobby against noise. Its the squeaky wheel that gets the oil and clearly, as the fines reflected, these poor Sydney insomniacs have done more squeaking than the families of those killed in speed related accidents. Doesn't make a lot of sense at all really but I think that if us noisey buggers here in Kiwi want to avoid such nonsense then we should at least attempt to 'make our noise in a quieter way' or at least choose an appropriate time and place (race track?). But then I guess the basic desire of one making lots of noise is to be noticed..
If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
مافي مشكلة
Don't like noisey bikes m'self. used to have the quietest Triumph 650 in the country, maybe the world. Loud pipes get very tiring on a long trip, 'tis easier just to purr along. If the note is nice, it doesn't need to be loud. Also, less likely to attract the attention of Mr Plod in the first palce.
And I would think that if one had expectations of maybe doing a runner, a real quiet bike would be an advantage. No point twisting like mad through the streets if all Mr Plod has to do to follow you is listen and drive toward the noise.
Except two strokes. They're different.

Doesn't matter how quiet a blue smoke is, the cops could still follow the fug.
