Will Chain remain true to his word? Or will he crack under the pressure?

It's a poser, ain't it? I think at this point, should he ever purchase another after market exhaust, he won't be talking about it around here!

Don't underestimate the Chainiac. He will not get an aftermarket exhaust.



For this bike.





But the next one, for sure.....

I voted no. He said no way, ever.

Now of course this does not preclude him from making arrangements to have someone give it to him as a gift.

Okay, I voted that he will stay true to his word and I believe him. I honestly believe that he is done modding bikes and that he just wants to ride. I've known him for four years now and while I've never met him, he is a very genuine person...

Although, he did have like four pipes for his CBR...

Re: Exhaust. Yes. No. Maybe. Chain poll inside!

Since there was no time limit on this mod, I voted he will buy. It might not happen for a year or something like that, but I think it will happen. In a years timeframe, this poll will be forgotten.

I have told myself when I pruchased my bike, there is no way I will mod. Now, I cannot stop thinking about it.

Nope. You boys will get tired of all this before I buy another exhaust for either of my bikes. I'm a changed man.

Re: Exhaust. Yes. No. Maybe. Chain poll inside!

Come on now Chain, you have two choices here:
Own up to the waffling statements of each bike you owned in the last year and a half being the bestest and never gonna need replacing, and have fun with the "jabs", thus dissipating them, or:
You can be like good ol' kerry and whine about it every time someone brings up one of the many sides of each issue, argument and so forth that you have had.


Flatfoot.
