We listened, now kindly naff off...

You should try my XT400E which comes with 600E gearing,I can see why they chop out 5th.One tooth down on countershaft is too much for road riding,maybe I'll try a couple on the rear to make it a bit happier.

I don't think the guys here quite realise what's in store for them moko - I know these euro rules are coming,LTSA has just backed off to regroup,soon a bike will be complied with the standard exhaust,if the exhaust has change it no longer will comply,so no WoF,no warranty,no insurance - oh well,let's have fun while it lasts eh?

There are now quite a few manufacturers offering road-legal systems with removable baffles so all you have to do is take them out if you want some noise and bung them back in at M.O.T. time,though the noise thing still seems a bit juvenile and selfish to me so why bother?As I said,at the moment Brit cops dont as a rule carry noise metering equipment but that could all change and every now and again they have a blitz at a bike meet.Doubt if this`ll be very popular but I still think many bikers are their own worst enemy,ride around like you`re on a track and make sure everyone sees and hears you and it`s not exactly rocket-science that you`re going to piss people off.Pissed off people write to politicians and the media who are always up for bashing an easy target,and being a minority bikers are an easy target.

Jet engine at take off - 140dB.

Actually that would be 130dB for jet taking off

Depends on if it had aftermarket mufflers fitted...

[Coldkiwi]

Depends on if it had aftermarket mufflers fitted...

...and on where you were standing
...and on what sort of jet it was
... and on what sort of engines it had
...and on what the wind might've been doing

Don't bandy round dBA figures unless you know all the details ladies.... its about as meaningful as saying 'my bike is fast': doesn't give you any damn facts at all.


You see now why I got pissed off about the LTSA proposal that didn't take any of that rather important level of detail into consideration?

[Wenier]

o sorry i was going by being at an airport and aircraft engineering knowledge my fault completely, but i think the correct distance u stand for recording it gives u 130. And well aftermarket mufflers arent really an issue unless you blow ya engine up and have to replace parts, most the engines make the same amount of noise if not less now. screw the wind

[Oscar]

....... its about as meaningful as saying 'my bike is fast':

But my bike is fast...

But my bike is fast...

emmm... its not the only thing, he he he
and fancy giving k14 a bad rep cos of me

[Oscar]

I gave him a bad rep because he's an opinionated little wanker who hasn't the balls to actually post on a subject - he'd rather whinge at you with this rep shit...



...apparently he took some exception to my comment above, regarding "my bike is fast". Obviously his sense of humour is impaired by whatever electroshock therapy he is currently undergoing.

[Deano]

Regarding noise testing - My SP ran really rich with standard pipes, and had a 'flapper valve' that shut between about 4000 to 5500revs in order to pass noise tests.

Needless to say they are both now gone. muahahahahahaha

Like someone here before said, bikes (and cars) have had modified exhausts since the 50's at least. Remember Happy Days, American Graffitti ?

Screw all the moaning whingers. I bet there are things they do that piss others off as well. Learn to live together (without intentionally pissing people off by roaring up and down your street 50 times) and accept our differences. Keep it real.

Not at all.
At least he has an opinion and the ability to elucidate it.
Your contribution has been..........??
Gurly comments via PM's don't count.

Shit man I've meet him and that aint the half of it .......fuk he's 19 what the hell do you expect?
I do not form opions of anybody till I've meet them, I dont think that that would be fair. Like I said I have meet k14 and as my boys/apprentices at work are in the same age bracket compaired to them k14 is not any of the above you mentioned I have a lot of time for him he asks questions and listens.
I cant be the only Kber that thinks this, as there is another that has offered him a race bike for an upcomming event (I hiff something at him if he even looks at mine)

Gurly comments via PM's don't count.

Now remember that this goes both ways..... It wasent him that p/m 'get a real bike or called names like Knobend..... is that like the thing on the end of ya clip on? and lets not forget the 'pompous Git' remark.... mind you I like that one as you can see, I have adopted it on my sigy

ps: ummm.... so would a real bike be a over weight chock chasing under powered excuse for a road bike? (TDM) *funs like fuk and doesent look back*

Jeez, you guys really need to get out more.
I use one vaguely insulting remark "What a bunch of Dorks", and several people here go hell bent to prove it. Actually I stand by the remark - anyone who honestly believes that loud pipes have some sort safety benefit are not only deluded, they are gradually making sure that life will become more difficult for the rest of us.

Both of my comments that you refer to above were in reply to input recieved. Don't dish it out if you can't take it ( and judging by the amount of bleating I have recieved from your boyfriend about his bike, he is somewhat sensitive about it). The insult is one commonly traded between dirt riders and road squids up this way.

Ps. I love my TDM - it's a dirt rider's road bike (and it don't stay on the seal that much anyway).

Good on ya hook line and sinker..... I want my boy friend to get bigger tits I'll pay.... but he wont do it

There are noisy pipes and NOISY pipes the likes of my pipes will not make life more difficult for any one its the open pipes that will, and theres not that many of them about.
Or more inportantly its all in the way that they are used.

Now that bitch of mine must have tea done by now
