SometimesSansEngine Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 That tree on the driveway that has never dropped sap? Well it waited until I parked my bike under it That hand sanitiser that was like gold dust a few months back? Came in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a good idea, though I was sweating my cobs off even at m/way speeds.....and that was in a very thin tshirt so I think it would have been like I had been hosed down if I'd been in a long sleeve topThe mrs was even contemplating wearing a hoodie under her bike jacket the mad fool but I quickly got her to see the error in her thoughts behind that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have to confess I drove it very hard from Bedford to London and back!Yes people will moan about a large green noisy bike pulling up behind them and then undertaking f they are still eating their shreddies in the outside lane !D.I.L.L.I.G.A.FTo the guys who indicated to tell me they were pulling in to the empty middle lane or to tell me you were staying out but had seen me I thank you.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That oem is ridiculously big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Agreed. It actually seems to be larger in real life than in any photos I've seen in bike mags etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofferz Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 It is massive. I'll try and convey just how big it is next to a regulation basketball, 190width rear tyre, bike, can and 6"2 not skinny chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geofferz Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 And what I don't understand is that there's no baffle or anything in it - it's just an empty tube? Surely the gasses just flow straight out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Have to agree that the OEM is pretty ugly. Looks similar to mine although that did have two tubes but was still pretty hideous imo. Glad I changed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 It probably doesnt need a baffle as its so huge and coupled with the CAT is quiet enough to meet the regs. fwiw, the OEM exhaust on my bike doesnt have a baffle either.are we doing a mines bigger than yours? mine isnt.. i feel inadequate.
