[QUOTE="Howard, post: 11381, member: 271"] I like your last comment. I'm in favour of louder exhausts - perhaps the "I didn't see you mate" brigade will hear you instead, but then I often think that most non-motorcyclist car drivers are related to the Pinball Wizard when it comes to spotting motorcyclists. Silencers will always be a compromise, you either stuff them full of baffles and packing, and kill the gas flow, or you cut your Burgess in half and weld in a piece of exhaust pipe and then weld up the silencer back around it, a la "road legal" racers. Less light hearted point, in the 60s Motorcycle Mechanics (I think) had an article on a big single special (DBD34 Goldie as I remember) called Ghengis Khan (or some other vicious conquerer) it had a virtually straight through silencer with a butterfly valve type baffle controlled by a choke lever. I don't know if it worked but it might be a workable compromise. I use the old Dunstall type, it gives me headaches, but I don't have to talk to the wife on the back. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
