Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Nope not illegal over here as there's no testing for bikes.
Surely it's going to attract the attention of our fine upstanding law enforcers though.
I remember when I lived in Spain, I used to go for spins with a mate of mine. I had a ZX6-R back then, but Dave had a 125cc 2-stroke (I think it was a Yamaha of some sort) off-roader. Anyway, he got an aftermarket exhaust fitted which made it sound ...... different let's put it that way .... especially on the overrun. We were out for an extended spin on the AP-7. I was touching 120mph, Dave was struggling to 100. Two bike cops came up behind us on BMW 1100s. They waved a hand at me to slow down. They pulled Dave over and screwed him to the wall.
My exhaust was stock but with an aftermarket Scorpion end-can (baffle installed) which made it sound meaty but not overly noisy.
Now maybe it was because Dave's bike (@100 mph) was bouncing off the rev limiter whereas my ZX6-R was probably tootling along at about 9k revs.
By all means make it sound better, but if it's shattering your neighbours Waterford crystal while it's warming up on choke, you've probably gone a little too far.
Disclaimer: I, in no way, advocate breaking speed limits. I was young and needed the money.
