Ever want to know what the Jardine Ti 2:1 sounds like?

Sounds awesome! Nice bit of riding as well. Two thumbs up!!

(Edit a few minutes later: I've viewed the clip twice now. I have wood. TMI, I know, but that bike does a pretty good impression of a Nextel Cup car on the boil!)

My ex-wife had a brother I used to visit in San Diego. Lovely country. Perfect weather, nice roads, the women are unreal too - but you know that already.

Also, I see you've got yourself a VTR. Pics? Melikey that bike. The day Honda gives it fuel injection, better suspension and even a modest facelift is the day I walk into a Red dealership and buy another motorcycle.

Does he ever run it over 7500 RPM?

Chain · 07-04-2004, 10:18 PM

Now now, c'mon abtech.

Pool time! I take square 7/12/04.

Sorry Chain, you're just too easy!

edit: And don't threaten me, or I'll ship a coupla tarantulas up your way. It's gettin' to be that time of year.

I take Sept. 1/04.

Theres a couple times that it sees just over 7, but those are the second gear corners (and the one 'oops', mis-shift (thought I was a gear higher))....

I promise I won't be under-revving it in a few more months.

Sounds about right based on what I hear. The system sounds very nice, but I honestly haven't had the occasion to run mine through the gears in a similar fashion to hear what it sounds like.

Defenitly lovely country around here. It took me less than five minutes to get to that road.

I'll have to dig up the VTR pics. Most of them died in "The Great KireNet Hardware Crash" two weeks ago...

Can't go wrong with any Honda.

Which road is that?

Honestly, I'd think less of you had you been really winding it out and exploiting the top end of your RC on public roads. Looked like a pretty entertaining sport pace for the streets even with a short shift or two sprinkled in. Anyway, back on topic, that Jardine sounds fantastic IMHO.

Thanks for the honest opinion, Chain. I try to keep it sane (and in my lane). Gotta go to work on Monday (or Tues. in this case), so I gotta make sure I come home safe every time.

On that note, here's the return trip west on Old Julian Highway.

I'm also rendering Wynola and should be finished making it available in a bit...

As promised... Wynola road, heading West.

I'm still learning this road, which is why it's a pretty slow trip. Lots of 'false' 90-degree turns. But a few real ones too.

Stock gearing on the RC makes this a bit difficult too (listen for the gearchanges to get through a couple of those slow turns)....

Will · 07-05-2004, 9:00 PM

That exhaust gave me wood.
That just humms

That's it I'm coming out of the closet, I'm getting an RC now.
Nice riding, can really see how tall geared they are

Blorton · 07-16-2004, 6:04 PM

Awesome sound! Makes me want to add a fiddy-wun to the stable. 'Course, if I had my druthers, I'd have a *huge* stable full of all sorts of interesting machinery.

That reminds me, I finally broke down and picked up a minidisc recorder recently. I need to capture a good clip of the full Sato system on the 'Blade.

Thanks for sharing that.

To hear it, just sit in one spot and rev the hell out of it

LMAO!

I was gonna do that, but I hear they start rolling on their own when you do that. Ever hear anything about that?

The clip would be just to tempt others away from less-qualified systems.
