I’m happy with my birthday present. Today I mounted Cobra pipes on it.
These pipes are illegal except for racetrack use in California, but here in the mountains of Western North Carolina the opinions of California legislators are a source of great humor.

I mentioned in an earlier thread that motorcycle noise and jet noise were the sounds of freedom.
I guess California will start outlawing jet fighter exhaust pipes, too.
I recall when I was courting my wife, she and her parents lived under the departure routes from the Des Moines airport, which at the time was home to an air national guard squadron of F-100s. Flights of four would launch in burner, which was cool enough by itself, but they came out of burner over her house, and the quiet was...loud.
Not too tangentially related, the personages of the California government seem to object to the far more general noise of democracy.

Oh, and happy birthday, even if a skosh late.

Thank you.
You wear ear plugs? Not for exhaust noise, but wind noise- it can be a real source of long term hearing damage. Most of the stuff I ever liked to do was noisy.. fly airplanes, play rock music, shoot guns, ride motorcycles, run equipment etc. It all adds up.
Say again?!
Yeah, but not in a smart way. I wear ones that play music.
Hopefully preaching to the choir, but be heads up with those. It's deucedly easy to run the music directly into your ears like that at comfortable sound levels but which levels are high enough to do damage.

Looks good!

Thank you!
