yeah I don't imagine it being terribly loud, from what I've read Akras aren't the loudest pipes but they have a really nice sound.

have fun on that pig. I wish I could afford one.

Re: Good evening Clarice

i like the pipes, but i think high mounts are the way to go...

and i have some similar damage on mine from an unfortunate incident last summer... i left the bike at a friend's house and proceeded to go into town to get loaded... that night the winds blew and the rain fell, and low and behold i awoke to find my baby laying on her side... minus one mirror and signal light, plus a few scratches and cracks

Still smart to have left it there though

Glad to here DG was so fun I have shown up at 5PM in august and seen more bikes, wow that lot was empty.

Yep I probably do I have more stuff to gather before Grattan and the trailer/RC have wasted this year's toy budget So this will be a light track year for $$ reasons. Also the first track day in a livestock friendly setting will help me figure what i want for the future better.

(Legs are still a tad sore as is my back and I got some bruises today )

Re: Good evening Clarice

You finally got one!

I was loading my CR250 in my truck a couple of weeks after I had bought the truck, and slipped on the ice build up from the night before. Nasty scratches and dents on the left side rail, and I bounced off the tailgate into the street. Not much fun at all. The bruises and scrapes are supposed to come from riding the dirtbike, not from loading it.

I was also helping an org member load his trackbike long ago and he insisted we use his wood planks rather than my ramp. It slipped and down went him and the bike.

Be careful!

She sure is purdy sheep. I'm off to the dealer after work to get some numbers crunched and see if I too will have one in my stable soon.
