I cleaned up some dirt from the patio...

Yeah, except the "loud pipes save lives" thing is an excuse, not a reason.
People have loud pipes because they like the noise, and they like to seem
rufty-tufty and dangerous to know.

 

It breaks my heart every time I pop along to an SV gathering and hear
all the loud cans on slow bikes. It's like a dictionary definition of
All Mouth No Trousers.

You obviously have forgotten how LOUD a Bantam can get on the standard can
and original baffles. Other SO 2smokes are probably as bad.
Not a lot of trousers in 175cc.

 

True not a lot of grunt in my scooter compared with something bigger..
but more than you'd have thought for something that's only 172cc. Ask WC
as a I followed him on his GS650.
