Anyone want to do a temporary bike swap?

[schleppy]

Deffinitely more comfy than my pos. A little quieter too.

Apparently you've never heard Nick's bike. I'd imagine the apocalypse would be quieter. It's truly earth shaking.

[ff36buell]

she is MUCH "quieter" now.... atleast I think so...

It's probably because your ear drums are completely blown out

definitely much quieter now.

[spicy]

.............is it broken or otherwise disabled somehow, lol?


my guess is you're hearing's gone and it just seems like that...

[ff36buell]

nah, built a new chambered exhaust can.... didn't decrease power from what I can tell, and definitely quieted it down alot at idle and sounds much better under load...

[FireboltEric_MA]

prolly better with some back pressure in there. Even if it is only slight pressure, they dont need much...

Now go register for the 25th & 26th..

[BURZA]

Dracut.

edit: where the fuck is Wenham?

do a mapquest

[OreoGaborio]

Schlep, lemme know if you wanna come by & take the Tuono for a day or two.

oh man!!

[OreoGaborio]

Ok. I'll give it a once over safety check for ya.

WARNING: ya probably won't wanna bring 'er back

[toocrazy2yoo]

Jesus, that thing looks like fun, Shlepps. Wanna swap for a ride? I can't turn the C-14 over for a few days, but if ya wanna skip outta the Hamilton-Wenham realm for a few hours, let's go! Ride down to wherever they run off to for these bike nights and back? Your bike actually matches my Joe Rocket and Blue Shoei helmet from my Bandit 1200 days last summer. About time I put some wear and tear on em. And you can handle the extra 700 CC's.

Whaddya say?

[Chippertheripper]

I've heard it. Sarcasm and internet sometimes don't go so well together. That thing was ridiculous. Now go register for the 25th and 26th.

First bike swap complete. I'm now riding Pete's Tuono (until tomorrow night). When I got to his place he was cleaning it up and getting it ready for me. Such a good host

It's just a weeee bit different than the DR. Soooo much power and torque throughout the rev band. Delicious exhaust note. It's a lot slower to tip into a turn than the DR is, but it's no slouch. The riding position is also a lot more aggressive than I thought it would be.

Overall, really nice bike Pete!

[OreoGaborio]

Thanks dude

Yeah, handling is a little slow at the moment. Once she gets new sneakers & a suspension work-over, she'll tip in a little quicker & hold a better line.

[Kenn157]

Dont wheelie on it! Its never done one before!

[JettaJayGLS]

Pete, wanna drive a 675? I promise you'll you enjoy it.

[OreoGaborio]

Sure, you can ride the DR650 I have sitting in my garage

I won't.... that one was weak

Lol, oh I can only imagine...just crying cause of how badly Pete shut me down.

HA. Well I've ridden a 675 before but I wouldn't be opposed to swappin rides for a bit one sunny afternoon if ya wanted to go for a rip and jump on the Tuono for a stretch.
