Grow a set and enjoy the bike. My C has some kinda loud slip on's and I liek the, but my XL50 has open Martin Bro's pipes and I LOVE them! they are loud and everyone looks and , most give a thumbs up. I mean if it's 3am and you cranking on it by houses then you might need to feel a bit bad, but if your just out for a ride and like you bike loud them relax and enjoy.

My bike has SE slip ons. They were on it when I bought it, baffles out. My neighbor (LEO) came over to have a look when I bought it. I revved it a bit,said what do you think? Kinda loud? He said no he liked it, Harley's are supposed to sound like that. So there.

Does yellow make you sad too?

Next time you start getting dirty looks, pull over and shut it off. Take out your bike cover and cover it up.

When all the librarians have left, uncover it and head straight over to namby-pamby land to pick up some self confidence, you jackwagon.

Enjoy the ride and make up for it in other ways...
