Baffles officer?

#1 Post by rick » Thu May 13, 2010 9:48 am

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 :smt001

I also noticed that she really likes to sit at 5,500 - 6,000rpm on the motorway... just purring along ready to pounce :smt005

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 :smt001

i think he was talking about his bike....

though i suspect that jadaris may slap him just in case....

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....
