I no longer have the loudest bike on UKRM. After shattering the idyllic
peace of sundry towns and villages across Europe during my 6 countries in
a day run, I finally decided that the Termis would have to go.
Consequently, I put the originals back on this afternoon. I also removed
the Power Commander as I don't really need it without the Termis and it
will make selling them easier if the Power Commander is included.

When I have sold the Termis I will probably get a pair of Quills or GPRs
which have a better tone than the originals (but still a lot quieter than
the Termis). They also don't require changes to the fuelling and so are an
easy replacement.

The only problem now is that with quieter exhausts the clutch now sounds
really, really loud - fortunately I have a replacement ready, waiting for
another sunny afternoon.

I have also fitted a nice fat battery cable to a blind terminal under the
seat so if it ever needs another jump start It should be a simple
process.

Apart from a satisfactory bit of fettling, my afternoon was also enlivened
by a tree falling across the road outside my house, resulting in much
traffic chaos, shouting and hooting. Somebody in a Landrover eventually
turned up with a length of rope and dragged it to one side, freeing up one
lane and ruining the entertainment.

Reminded me of my childhood - sort of - collecting horse droppings in the
street from the milkman's horse. Except that in these circumstances I would
have rushed out with my chainsaw rather than a bucket and shovel.

Yup, that'll do it.

Darsy's old TRX850 was pretty offensive, too.

The XR400R I had for a short while ranks as the loudest bike I have
ever had. That thing would set off car alarms in the next village if I
dared take the revs above tick-over. It was so bad that I even did
something about making it a little quieter.

The Blackbird with Promotives on was borderline raucous, but the most
offensive noise had to come from the KH500.

I thought about that but I only have an electric chainsaw - and the lead
wouldn't have been long enough.

Gets willy out - my Guzzi has what are for all intents open megas.
