Rode into work again today and decided to be naughty and remove baffles... I tell you what the bike runs so much sweeter... never really noticed it before
I also noticed that she really likes to sit at 5,500 - 6,000rpm on the motorway... just purring along ready to pounce
God I love my Falco!

i am still giggling about my renegades with out the baffles - quieter than jadaris' :)
and going around town they sound fine.... a nice rumble :)
full chat is a bit different though
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

yeah I've noticed the rumble around town has a much nicer tone... but isnt any louder...
...but as she stretches her legs she does shout a little more

i think he was talking about his bike....
though i suspect that jadaris may slap him just in case....

hmmm
so who fell asleep this afternoon as you were not feeling well
and when you woke up - i told you you had been farting again
so who asked my son if you had been farting...
and his response
"YES OF COURSE"
the case rests....
