    lol, obnoxious is such a good way to describe a noisy pipe :laughing:

    I put a GR Moto end can on my Yamaha last summer and saw a small child holding their ears :eek: Needless to say, it now has a DB Killer ;)

    I am using up annual leave this week (miscalculation issue by HR when my contract changed last year!) so got out for a few hours this morning and had a lovely blast with a brief stop for coffee at British Camp in the Malvern Hills; the sun even shone for the first hour or so :).

    They were blissfully quiet today as well; I went through to Powick and then on the A44 to Leominster - had a lovely clear run apart from through Malvern and Powick.

    Not actually today but yesterday…….

    So I did a video / sound clip but I couldn’t upload it to here, sorry @Mrs Visor .
    Anyway it’s pretty loud and will need quietening for MOT time if nothing else so I’d bought so db killers, drilled the cans so they fit and now have the option of loud or slightly quieter. I’ll see how it sounds when out on the road in April.

    Also out on the Explorer for a couple of hours around Derbyshire. Was late afternoon by then so roads were pretty quiet, temperatures also dropped a bit- was down to 3.5degrees coming over from Buxton. Those eBay bargain Keis heated gloves were a good investment!

    stripped the front end off and regreased the headstock bearings. Fitted new brake pads ready for my track days at the end of April.

    I took my Speed Triple RS out for a little solo ride this afternoon, a 50-mile ride in glorious weather on this last day of March.

    Still a bit of snow on the ver tippyy top of the Catalinas!

    A little stop for an energy drink at the local Minute Market and gas station after doing the loop in Saddlebrooke, a "master planned" housing development and golf course about 20 miles north of Tucson.

    I've stopped here many times but never realized that the Minute Market also houses a US Post Office!

    Back home around 4:30pm. We'll pay for these lovely spring temperatures come July when it hits 110ºF!

    There’s a bit of a gap between the frame rails where I’d taken the X-pipe off the Thruxton.

    So last week I made a sump guard / gap hider from some steel plate.

    CDB60BE9-FD2A-4FA7-BDD1-91BB0B0991CC.jpeg

    And fitted it today.
    I’m not 100% happy with it, was cheap and easy to make …….and that’s sort of how it looks. I’ll leave it on but may make or buy something else in due course

    ……in other news, I’ve taxed it today and looking forward to going out on it tomorrow

    That looks fine in the photo, but understand sometimes photos don’t show the whole story.

    This weekend the activities around the Easter celebration started in Austria. Easter markets are held almost in every town. Therefore we took our Bonnie's and started a little tour to reach one of those markets in Forchtenstein.
    The market was situated in most parts of the Forchtenstein Castle.
    Besides all the handicrafts made of various materials, there was also an interesting culinary offer.

    I tasted a bun filled with meat loaf from game meat. :yum

    The crocodile hanging in the entrance hall has protected the castle from enemy attacks since 1706. It has obviously been useful, because the castle could never be taken. :p

    @Mrs Visor: Many thanks to you!
    The weekend was marvelous! This week is crazy. Temperatures from -3 to 15 degrees changing every few hours in both directions. Rain, snow, sunshine is permanently changing. By the end of the week it should get better. ;)
