Loud pipes; save lives!
Unfortunatly loud pipes are only heard from behind so they do nothing for getting you noticed until you have already passed someone. That slogan was used by harley guys as a reason for putting on shit sounding straight pipes and annoying everybody.
I run a dump and you can hear it no matter where I am. I get people looking in their mirrors and turning their heads as I approach. Its great to ride up next to some old turd with the window down and give em a few revs right into the window.
then the old bastards look like this
... big wide eyes and I see their lips moving as they are talking to themselfs, trying to get those heart flutters under control
BY THE WAY, VERY NICE BIKE
