[QUOTE="Prosper Keating, post: 11557, member: 1376"] OK, so what is the true top speed of a good, standard Comet and why do I find the Comet cruises smoothly at around 65 mph with the restrictive spiral-baffled silencer but around 10 mph faster with the Burgess-style noisy silencer? Just to open another can of worms, I get more mpg/kpg with the noisy pot fitted. Plus I don't get cut up by cars or surprised by dull-eyed mothers shoving their sticky brats out in front of me in their wonky-wheeled pushchairs. Let's face it: noisy silencers save lives, save fuel and allow faster travel, thereby cutting your road-time down, which in turn makes your journeys safer because you are on the road for less time than with repressive exhausts. And yet, none of our lobby groups will advance these arguments. Sack 'em, I say! PK [/QUOTE]
