Don't people think he 'might' have a bit of a point here ?  I know it's the
thin end of the wedge but open pipes on a cruiser, pipes with no baffles on
a sports bike or a dirt bike really DOES damage the pastime of motorcycling.
I have pipes on both my ST and S3 (but standard pipes on my dirt bike) but
both are very quiet in comparison to cruisers with open pipes - ridden by
bar-hopping morons who feel the need to compensate for some small physical
appendage by continually blipping the throttle (mebbe they have to otherwise
it would stall :) 

These morons don't help motorcycling at all.

Having said that...he IS a moron though.

Not that I condone loud pipes, and especially the ones that can be heard
miles away, I personally think Mr. Denny should find an activity that
permits the acting "...in a manner that brings juvenile emotional
satisfaction to..." for himself. Maybe then he can be slightly more open
minded. Sometimes it is good to act your shoe size and not your age...

I wonder if the 1st of April is relevant? I'd like, nay love to think 
so. :o)

PS I'm bouncing around constantly just now. New battery, brake discs 
and brake pads fitted to the ST last week, and my MoT is booked for this 
Friday. Weather's gorgeous. Haven't ridden for SIXTEEN MONTHS!! The 
prospect of being acting "...in a manner that brings juvenile emotional 
satisfaction to..." myself is rather appealling. Hee hee.
