Don't feel too down about it though FB ......I'm the fool that hacked the darn things to death when I wasn't satisfied with the de-baffle.

Ummmm,, hello Doug,,, 8002 miles on my bike since April,, not taking into account the prolonged rain delays I had,, trailering it a couple of places,,,, oh wait,, I forgot,, M50's only have a 1.5 hour max ride time available per numbing session!!!!! Just kidding,,, but it can add up quick. I changed the oil the Wednesday before we went to Ginnie Springs,, well last night I changed it again,, 1902 miles since then.

My review of the drilled pipes(you dirty minded 'boys' out there, just stop!)

Thney put 6 1/2 in holes in each backplate, it was warming up in the garage this am early, and i walked outside to watch hubby putting the trash can out(lol) and it sounded to me like a washing machine spinning that was off balance (knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock knock ) as he was driving away on it, it sounded pretty normal -

and you may ask, why is he taking Red instead of the harley? Cause she takes too long to warm up when you are running late, and then sputters in anger at being roused from her night of rest... but FI Red is just ready to go at a moments notice
