Running a little hot!

If I was this dude, I'd be concerned those pipes didn't melt on my boots.

 

or, considering where he's parked, start a forest fire. I'd say he
needs to adjust his mixture. After his fuel composition...

I think they just might melt, if you notice the pipe gets progressively
hotter the futher away it gets from the manifold, at the bottom,
they are white hot! The next stage is total melt down.
There have to be limits to how much heat they can take.

 

Isn't that controlled electronically these days?

 

Jeez, guys, it's a *photograph*. If it was taken with a digital cam,
some are much more sensitive to IR than the perceptual apparatus
in the eye is.

 

Abuse rules!! I will pioneer the new sport of using a bungee cord to WFO an
unmanned Ducati or BMW up a 90 deg. ramp in the search for max apogee. Or
maybe I should pack my bikes' exhaust with emergency flares and "safe
fireworks" before a ride down to Alice's. But if truth be told, all I
expect out of a streetbike is awesome three-foot flaming over-rich
back-fires under engine braking that melt the bumper off the KIA behind me
and remind me that gosh darn, I didn't get a slipper clutch, and
consequently, avoided the need for neon yellow one-piece leathers, thereby
saving precious funding for that all-important must-have motorcycle mod, a
six-barrel multi-color ignition-fired horn-wired marine flare-launcher.

ps I know the whole lot of ya's is wondering, if my exhaust is pushing 900
degrees F, will that help fool those pesky red light cams in SF? Only if
you had the foresight to also douse those whacky devil-ears on your helmet
in butane and light 'em up while smoke from that mesquite-stuffed exhaust
further obscured those fine taxpayer-provided lenses......

More!! Of something!! But not this shit!!
Later!

Well strictly speaking it's a digital jpeg file, rather than a
photograph, if you want to get technical about it.

 

Yah, and I don't think that the radiative flux from hot pipes will
exceed that of the reflected visible light,
or every picture of a hot frying pan or BBQ would be funky looking.

 

Technically speaking, it's a doctored jpeg file. Probably photoshop.
Not only is the grass not on fire, the colors are backwards. The
white hot colors should be at the heads, not the collector/exh end.
Other than that, did a nice job.

I don't believe it is doctored at all.

OOO! Can I get one of those? My PC 800 is in serious need of personality.
