Maybe if we use a big juice can and paint it to match the bike we can sound like a cruiser...........

Now that's pretty funny stuff.
Reminds me of a story that I probably wouldn't have told otherwise, but it seems appropriate.
On my way home from a 2-up ride the other day...as I approach a stoplight I split the stopped cars and bring myself to a stop at the white line between a pickup and a red Dodge Neon SRT-4. When the light turned green I took off at a brisk pace and thought nothing more of it. Next stoplight. I'm first at the white line (right lane) and the red SRT-4 pulls up next to me. I have some light conversation w/ my passenger until the light turns green (never even looked towards the Neon). Light goes green and suddenly there's a screeching from the tires of the Neon as he gives it everything its got. I'm halfway through first gear, just changing into second when I realize what he's up to. I lean forward and continue through second and then third leaving my little red friend somewhere in my mirrors. The guy driving was around 30 years old I think...old enough to know better? Guess not. Was it the passenger and the Givi that made the FJR look like a Neon victim? Guess so. Either way I got a really good chuckle out of "racing" a Dodge Neon. (OK, I know it's the fastest Neon ever produced, but uhhhh....).
Sorry for the hijack, but I figure that if the Neon had been equipped w/ one of those coffee cans he would have had no problem beating my FJR.

The funny part is that there are so many people out there who add these beer can style exhaust components and think they instantly have the fastest car on the road.

I'll explain. It makes the car louder, therefore faster. Their fathers probably ride Hardley's. :hairysmiley:
