They'll hear you coming down the motorway

You could really **** the tester off and shoot some flames back at him when he's recording the sound level

Not entirely sure I'll be down tomorrow now

Seems like Santa may have come a month late and left me a new steed (more details later when it is confirmed) so its not guaranteed I'll be able to ride the SV for much longer.

The SV will still be in the garage and hopefully I'll have a multi bike policy by the trackday but we'll see in a week or two.

As I needed to pop down to 'nam I decided to head a little further down the road and found myself outside the scrutineering hut on Castle Combe circuit.

So I gave the guys there a giggle by asking them to test the noise level or my bike...

So with the track limit at 105db I clocked up an impressive 110.06db (I'm quite pleased of the .06!)

Will have to change cans if I want to get on track then

But they were quite friendly and pleased that I had came down for a test and prefer people to do that rather then turn up on the day to be told NO. So I will be making another trip down there sometime with a different can a would recommend you all do the same.

I bimbled over at about 4:00 this afternoon, got mine tested with the road legal yoshi on (still with the baffle in). At two thirds revs the thing screams, 110.0db

so I'll be saving my money. The standard can may be a tad quieter but is a pain to fit, lots of messing about to switch cans on the gixer thou, no where near as simple as the SV.

So I'll not be going.

Its worth noting that 3db means double the power (noise) so 6db above is 4 times the noise.

Good to see its not in learner yella and is the faster red colour apart from the tooth paste gixer livery of course.
