Last fall a younger rider on a "customized" V7 showed up at the same place we were having our MGNOC NJ Breakfast (small local airstrip). He had a shorty chopped exhaust and very little to speak of in terms of a muffler. Didn't seem to care how well it was or was not running.It's a thing... not my thing, but a thing.But everyone of them is another sale for Guzzi.
would that warp the exhaust valves?
It took me a while to learn about all that stuff, too.
Ah, yes...mid-20th century tuning tips collide with 21st-century electronic engine management...loud means lots of horsepower, right??
Yes - I can forgive some kid doing it at home - but this was a Guzzi dealership, they should know better
A 2V Hemi head engine with a wide included valve angle and side draught induction and exhaust can still use 1950's/60's tuning methods,
Works for me.. but it *doesn't* sound like a Harley. Harleys with open exhaust sound pretty agricultural to me. <shrug>
No honestly I shouldn't forgive either ...That said, I could have won mint guessing Pete would take it too seriously...[emoji56][emoji23][emoji56]
45 vs 90 degree vee. BTDT
We described the way a friend's Rocket 3 with the TOR exhaust as sounding like an Allis Chalmers WD with a header Dusty
An Allis Chalmers WD?! OMG! The mere fact that you even have an inkling of what that is confirms, without any doubts, that you truly are older than dirt!
In the context of the post, what does BTDT mean ?
