Cruisin' Guzzisti
I live near to and spend a lot of time riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Often we'll stop to take a photo, etc., and at times the loud pipe "parade riders" go by and it can take several minutes to have a very short chat. I've mentioned to loud pipe "parade rider" friends how annoying that is to me let alone folks that are not enthusiasts, they universally think you're kidding them or just suggested their Mom is a member of the Oldest Profession. I could appreciate if the noise had any value, but most run shitty and the tone is is like fingernails on a chalkboard. The flip side is I can't recall hearing a bad sounding Guzzi or Triumph Triple with anything resembling a decent aftermarket exhaust.
