I understand what you are saying bazman but when i mentioned caught out i mean my riding skills
I believe to stay sharp you have to ride frequently, not once week or worse once a month
Like most things the more you do it the better you get(practice makes perfect) etc etc
I truly believe if it wasn't for racking up so many km up per year, my reflex and avoidance skills would not be as sharp, i would have been cleaned up for sure
Bringing my beloved bike out once a month to avoid being booked does not make sense to me
as see it I have 2 options
take it back to standard
or
get rid of it
running the Gold coast to Brisbane gauntlet daily (and it is a gauntlet) i am not prepared to have a quiet pipe, just to dangerous!!!!
I sms my missus and say xoxo before i leave brisy just in case i don't make it home
As a board member who works for the dark side
said to me
he got cleaned up on the same stretch due to a car changing lanes on top of him, he got up close and personal with a concrete barrier/hospital time etc and that was on a cop bike. now most people try to drive extra cautious when a
presence is close by would you not think
perhaps if the bike was louder the cage driver might have heard it
i have lost count how many times a cage has put its blinker on and then swerve back into the lane when i had a standard pipe on. with the noisey pipe i can see the cage drivers head scanning to see where the noise is coming from I KNOW IT WORKS AND PROBABLY HAS SAVED MY LIFE
so as i see it its time go mia06
