Default Re: Brands Hatch Indy - April 24th

Brands hatch are running a 105dB limit on the day, they say every bike will be static tested for noise, but I've never seen that yet on a trackday. The coment below is from Andrew who's turning up on his Guzzi, anyone know if he's likley to have a problem?

It’s all a bit old-school (welded mufflers, no facility for sound-abatement), so there’s not much you can do to quieten them down.

Handles like a pig too…so it should all be a great laugh!
