On the first bit re: "... disgusting liquid is that comes out of the ass-end of a cat ..." Tie a dog to your bike. (Or maybe a motion sensor alarm ... would scare the bejeezuz and more outta your feline friend!) On the EBC pads: order direct in Thailand

Goes to show how ineffective some of those inserts can be I suppose. Or maybe it's the app on your phone? I've just ordered a set of inserts that I'm hoping will tone down the bark o' me Zards -- they're the racing version without db killer. I still want to be able to snap my wrist and wakeup inattentive drivers when needed, but I certainly don't want to annoy the likes of Pist-on Bloke should he happen to be on the sidewalk in town while I'm passing by.

Yeah, we get that Pist-on Broke (but seriously, you're starting to sound like a broken record) ... we get that you hate loud exhausts with a passion but they probably annoy you more than most. I'd really like to see you harp on about something you like with a passion. More so about making noise, and the greater part of that crowd are going to be younger testosterone-driven knuckle-heads. The part you're missing is that apart from the "hey, look at me" bunch, there are the enthusiasts who enjoy tweaking their machines to perform better. And part of that necessitates a free-flowing exhaust, which entails more noise from the tailpipe. It's not done to annoy anyone. In fact, if you think about it, the decibels arrive and depart rather quickly. Unless you're prone to keeping pace by following. In which case one has to ask, do you or do you not want to prolong that sound? Right, that's me off me soapbox. Now where's that derby?

Add drop chute for your poop chute and you never need to leave your bike!

Let me offer you a clue ... You stated in another thread concerning Idiot drivers, and I quote: "i gave up "bipping" my horn at dreadful drivers over a decade ago - has absolutely no effect,..." Now go back and take a look at the title of this thread, the one you started.

I think I have a solution that just might work for you...

So they can fit more exhaust cans that make it louder, make it whistle on gear changes, and spew great clouds of black smoke, thereby giving the impression that a jumbo jet just landed on the highway.

Let me rephrase: ... when I need them to be ... Please reference above. How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

No, the roads are not safe. But, awareness, anticipation, and experience can keep you relatively safe. Get back on, Khastan. My bike is mapped for performance and a free-flowing exhaust is just a part of the equation. Consequently, my pipes are loud -- very loud when I want them to be, like when alerting inattentive drivers that I'm within striking distance. I can "baby-walk" the bike fairly quietly when need be. Another benefit came to me by happenstance one day: I had an aggressive dog rushing at me while turning onto a country lane. I pulled the clutch and revved a few quick ones. The dog stopped in its tracks, fear frozen on its face, turned tail and ran straight back to the safety of its loving master, sitting on the porch, also shaken by the ferocity of my machine.
