    I feel so much safer!

    Put an Akrapovic exhaust on V-Strom. It's a little louder, so now I've got an additional safety edge!

    I'm missing something.

    Don't V-Twins have two header pipes?

    Some of you know me, but for those who might not understand my droll sense of humor: here's the bike in question.


    Larger. A guy in Newburyport makes the stickers.

    That Bacon one will be mine.

    I honestly don't have the balls to pull off the ".. smaller the dick" one. I'd get my ass beat to a bloody pulp.

    Re: I feel so much safer!

    If I felt like wasting money, I'd buy a TON of those stickers & put em directly over every "Loud Pipes Save Lives" (or similar) sticker I see. I bet the owner would never notice.
