No respect !! My bad.
« on: May 09, 2018, 11:38:18 AM »
Sitting here in my coffee village. ......something loud and small is coming down the pike....he stopped at the light.
Here he comes - looks like a new all red Honda CB300 with all the plastic gleaming. And I  swear he's unbolted the exhaust!!

I started laughing as he approached. .....even when his helmet looked my way....as he loudly, slowly,  farted by in 1st grear.
Sorry, but I couldn't help myself. Laughing and trying to keep from spilling my coffee.
He got no respect......
pretty bike though!.

Oh, yeah! Dumping the muffler reduces back pressure an' gives MORE POWER! I can FEEL it! And...and.. that high octane gas burns better and I got so much power..POWAH!

It was a really different sound. Not a loud 2 stroke blatt, or a Harley rumble. ....but if he had one of those shorty Aakervonovischt (orWYCThem) cans on there he had removed the baffle.
Still give me a giggle...
