If I had it to do over again I would consider the Rassk pipe for all the reasons Greg listed. Priced good chrome work lately??
I like the fact I can add/remove discs AND use the open or closed ends on the 'Trapp. For long trips I can make it quiet and loud for bike night.
BTW; does someone make a baffle or insert for Rassk?
Speakin’ of phones, I carried a cheapo Walmart Tracfone in my riding jacket, "just in case" (I was surprised and pleased to find it worked great in Ontario too).
Now I got (on ebay)a really cool i605 Motorola since the folks at my current project said they would put me on their Nextel if I got a phone.
I hated the phone issued on the last job, but it was tough-as-nails, "Mil spec", Motorola, dropped to the plant floor several times once from screen guard from 16'. I liked that.
The i605 has a bunch of stuff i won't ever use, need or want, But it had the largest, brightest screen, "Mil spec ."and it has GPS! If you read the fine print Nextel will always place a 911 call.
So even after the job is done and they shut off my account, forget internet access, text messages or stock quotes, I can still place a 911 call and it can send the exact location too, Good insurance.
For instance; Greg you drove through the last ice storm in these parts last year. One night some poor nurse slid off the INTERSTATE and called for help & gave her location as "somewhere between Jackson and Memphis. The EMTs ran up and down the highway and figured she motored on.
NOT! She was now unconscious and a second search was not called until she was reported missing & matched the same vehicle! She was found STILL ALIVE some days later still trapped in her car (dead cell phone) that slid across the ice, well into the weeds, obscured way down a hill and crashed! The ice left no tracks!
I think that I speak from experience. Some feel otherwise. Anyway....
SuperTrapps are great slip-ons. No doubt.
A cell phone is great for riding and travel. I am just tired of everyone else's phone and the dependence we have. What would we do without it? Might be good to think about in this uncertain future.
Was that accident in the news? I think that I remember. Once again, a cell phone has its advantages....and its disadvantages.
Good to hear from you again Mr 650
