Middle of the summer we went thru the tail of the dragon road---318 curves/11 miles---thousands of Bikes----most of them quiet----seems like the big numbers of bikers really don't want to ride with the LOUD guys---

long time ago, I used to run Allis-Chalmers mufflers on my cars, pretty loud---focused attention on me enogh that I couldn't get away with occasional display of horsepower---put quieter mufflers on it and then could not only display horsepower but I could even sneak my girl back home late without getting caught----
