Scooterotica

Are they that bad, or are we all a bunch of old farts. I had a go on one today and it didnt seem much different to my JL3.

Definitely get one. They're cracking.
Just as long as you don't mind upsetting the neighbours.

If my memory seves me well, Ray Kemp was blasting round ahead of nearly everything on scooter wheels using a reverse cone big bore exhaust on his Group 6 race scooter, didnt seem to slow him down much......But was it loud

I remember all the neighbours down our street when i was a kid knocking on my parents door complaining about my older brother on his sx200 with clubman (vw) and the noise...we lived down a small closed street and he would come in late on a night and as he turned into our street he would open it out full and he had a 30mm dell on as well, i thought it well funny...it used to echo down the street and make the tele go fuzzy....good days

Eh?? CAN YOU SPEAK UP? I CAN'T HEAR YOU..

If you get the ones with the clamp in tailpipe . you just need another tailpipe for the mot take out the inner crimp it in a vice to reduce the size a bit more packing then replace into outer a couple of pinches round the bottom to hold it all together and refit , only use it for the mot or your motor will over heat ,plus it runs like a bag of sh1t . but means you dont have to change your pipe . always worked for me
