Loud cans

Most IL4's, especially low revving ones tend to sound pants. V-twins and any odd firing bike sounds the nuts! Simples

Really? I think mine is probably fairly loud but its not so loud as to be stupid. What do you think?

i was right all speed traps can only be installed within half a mile of someone being killed.

Otherwise they would put them up on my road because i know cars go in excess of 100mph and its only a 30, we had the police catch people go that fast and someone asked why there wasnt any form of speed traps or cameras they said we have to wait until someone is killed.

i like my loud can, theres nothing else to it! its is not the same as some little no*bber with a drain pipe on the back of his 1.0 nova. I like big exausts on nice cars, cars that can back it up with power.

I went santa pod last weekend, those cars make my bike sound like a lawnmower, now that is some serious noise.

My brother has just had scorpions put on his 07 fazer and they said awesome when you wind them up.

You're an idiot.

The limitations you're referring to apply in the context of speed cameras.

The police can put a speed trap anywhere they want, so long as it consists of a dibble with a hairdryer.

Sounded loud on tickover. I'll have to actually turn up at Squires on my bike and we can compare. Trouble is its out of MOT and I have a gazillion other things to do first

Not true, there is NO requirement for someone to have died, (KSI does not mean someone has to die).

Infact, here is proof:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety...ftcirc0107.pdf

1 KSI collision required within 1km and that doesn't have to be on the same road, the definition of seriously injured is being admitted to hospital - even if you're discharged after a quick check-up, you still count as seriously injured...

That is for a proper mobile site, there is nothing to stop the police stopping in a layby and stopping any drivers speeding past.

Spouting rubbish once is fine, twice is idiocy.

Seems like a fair point TBH.
Cant argue with that, harsh comment but sometimes fitting.

But....
