    Re: Loud Pipes

    I remember there being some talk when the Denver law was being discussed on here many moons ago, and the fact that those occasions after the law passed that seem to have Denver PD pulling over sport bikes more than Hardleys... (and someone theorizing producing DOT plates to slap onto pipes or something like that)...

    Since then has anyone heard of someone actually being pulled over for pipes in the City and County of Stupidity lately? Or the People's Republic? Or anywhere that seemed to notice the sport bikes over the Hardley's straight pipe ridiculousness?
    ...Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

    Re: Loud Pipes

    IMO people SHOULD start getting pulled over more and more for abnormally loud exhausts. A nice aftermarket that gets a little loud when the revs are upped is one thing( and your haulin ass) but some cheap straight pipe... Wether on a sportbike, or a cruiser, needs to be taken care of. Ultimately, there's not much it seems anyone can do unless the manufacturers stop making such inexpensive alternatives to a nice exhaust. There cheap, and that's what makes them appealing to people.

    Re: Loud Pipes

    I went with a Delkevic shorty for my SV650 because I heard good things about the sounds they give to the Vtwin, and it does sound a tad loud but gorgeous as well IMO. I haven't been next to a cop yet to see if they'll give me extra special attention or not

    Its pretty beastly! The bike actually came with a Yoshimura oval can on it, which I will admit did sound very nice as well, but was quieter and I didnt like the long lengthy chrome can and preferred something shorter. The Delkevic is unbaffled and doesn't have an option for a baffle on the version I got and its pretty loud. Earplugs needed for me on longer rides as it becomes pretty droney at certain rpm

    No, web pic. I did race the very first model YZ125 ('71 I think) back in the day. The six speed Elsinore came out a few months later and blew us all away.

    That's cool. The old YZ's not a bad looking bike either. Do you know anywhere close where the vintage dirt guys race? That'd be great to see

    I was just looking at the AHRMA website and they had an event in Athens Ohio. Is that the race your talking about?

    Dang that looks like a huge event. That would be a good effin time looks like. I've heard Mid Ohio is a sweet track. My uncle I believe has been to that event a few times now that I think about it. He does restorations for people and is a racer himself. His home track is Grattan up in Michigan.
