The ultimate in rice

OBMOTO: I wonder if anyone's considered putting one of these hunks of shit on a bike?

I'll give you the report in 4-6 weeks.

 

Well there is more than one guy in this town who'd buy it.

Same as the guys running straight cut timing gears to sound like a
supercharger. Another wank.

 

But Straight cut gears sound lovely...I'm going to be deaf before 30

 

OK, I'll bite. How do you *simulate* a sound?

Sometimes there's a justification for straight cut gears on mechanical,
rather than ego, grounds.

Of course if you have a supercharger, you can drill small holes in the
pulley, between the teeth, to quieten the whine.

This is not to say it'll work on the missus...

 

<BANG!>

 

Christ! Any idea how much time I spent getting the wastegate spring
right to STOP my turbo making that noise?

Ferking ricers.

Cheers

 

The other bit of rice that is getting to me is the free-wheeling wheel
trims that look like an oversized chrome wheel, but don't spin at the
same rate as the wheels, and then keep spinning when the wheel stops.

I always glance at the front wheel of any car waiting to enter the road
I am on, as this gives the clearest early warning of movement.

One of these things gave me quite a start the other morning.

Yep, a little flag pops out with "PSssst! (104dB)" written on it.

I thought they were trying to sound like VFRs!
