As much as I like the sound of my exhaust, it is a bit of a pain for touring, especially with the trailer as sound is reflected back at me. I certainly cannot risk going abroad with the bike with the current set up. I also know I am sacrificing torque for horsepower. Unfortunately I cannot just switch silencers as the headers are two inch on the Rinehart system currently on the bike as opposed to one and three quarter inch as per standard. So I am ordering a set of S&S Power Tune dual headers and for now will use some standard silencers I have in my storage unit, it’s going to be very quiet, which the neighbours will no doubt like, I will gain a little bit of torque and lose a little bit of horsepower. Later on I will fit some after market silencers when I find ones I like. The added bonus is that the left hand header will be away from the passenger foot peg which is currently a challenge for the occasional lady pillion passenger.

FTFY.

Like that Laverda.

Well good for you, I hope you stick with it, it will be interesting to see how you are in six months time and I’m not trying to wind you up here.

You actually gave up the Mary Jane?

You are on the baggie again. No trips for you, just tripping out.

Fake.

That chain looks a bit loose.

Here you go @Marcel, got you a rally t-shirt.

Gay, in Scotland hailstones are as big as footballs, we just shrug them off.

It’s not exactly what I said, although I appreciate that is how your ginger brain interpreted it.

I don’t know, maybe a poll would be a good idea?

Putin is a tosser.

Oxidisation of the battery terminals being affected by heat and humidity, pull the terminals, clean the connectors and battery posts with light emery paper, use some dielectric grease and refit.

You will never get rid of the smell.

Like your bike then.

Had a couple of nice ones at the rally but none on the way back.

Yes, my place is the only real biker here, you lot are a bunch of ponces and queers.

Your bike is horse shit.

They flew over the rally yesterday, we also had a visit from a Spitfire who buzzed the rally field a couple of times.

Just tell your going and she has until you get back to get the house in shape. Be a man!

Home, 770.6 miles total this trip, I had to keep stopping though, the weather was so hot.
