Re: Intake or ex cams

Why would you replace just the intake or exhaust side? It's like upgrading just one side of the two cans....I suppose you could but why would you? I dont know if I got it right but looking at an MV Augusta brutale it appeared to have a butterfly on the loud muffler?..thinking if noise is ever an is...

I regret everything I have ever sold...except the '85 Hailwood I sold to get rid of an ex-wife... Th...

Re: Your top speed

Oh, sorry, I seem to have looked at fakebook instead of the forum. I would have thought that a photo showing a sweep diagnostic speedo and rev counter at startup will always win the Aldi car park fastest bike pic competition. 182 mph at peak revs, but in neutral.

Re: What are you listening to.....right now?

We got freecom 4 helmet intercoms for christmas. Premium product. Phone calls are simply "Hello" to answer, setup was easy. They have added another dimension to our rides and proven to be an awesome tool in dense traffic. We are now bluetooth bonded...apparently. Not quite sure you have t...
