    Loud Pipes Are Killing Motorcycles

    Hi there,I am basing my statement on personal experiences here and I have had my share of fools while riding.Your'e probably right about the pissing off factor,but hey If that's all it's doing then what's the problem?What's wrong with toy runs?What I'm saying is that Loud pipes may as well piss...

    Loud Pipes Are Killing Motorcycles

    +1 Capt Zoom,I am with U on this one. Who are these guys that try and tell us how it is out there when they most probably never ridden a bike.Yes motorcyles will continue to be involved in crashes and it's the fact that when a bike is involved it will be highlighted moreso.I am talking as a...

    Better drivers

    I am also a heavy vehicle licence driver and one of the worst things that can happen is a blowout on the steer at 100kph.I had to pull my arm in quick or the rubber would have taken it off as easy as it took the mirror.I once had a driver pull out on me in peak hour traffic and the car ended up...

    Head issue?

    If you have gone this far then you may as well pull the valves out to check the tollerances,it's not a drama.A machine shop in the area will bring it up to spick and it will also give you peace of mind knowing the head is ok.If the clearances are ok then you can lap and clean the valves up...

    Better drivers

    Yep very true and there was definitely eye contact when this Bitch pulled out on me when I was riding 2 up on my Harley.After taking drastic measures to avoid a crash with her monster 4 x4 I let her have a piece of my mind when I caught up with her while she just carried on blissfully...

    Deadly Sins

    I have said it before and I'll say it again "Loud pipes Save Lives" How many riders have been wiped out by a cager with the lame excuse "Oh I didn't see you"? So the next time you get booked for a noisy bike repeat this quote.
