The title of this post is a quote from Dave at Bruce's Motorcycle Repairs. He calls me Miss Beanz (coz Beanz Meanz Heinz, remember?) And those meatballs he's talking about? They're not just meatballs - they're red hot Cajun meatballs.The boys at Bruce's gave the Crow his 1000km service today - and installed a Yoshimura muffler. Here's a before & after shot:
Before, with stock muffler
After, with carbon-fibre oval Yoshi slip-on
And if you think it looks hot, you ought to hear it! It's not that it's loud, as such, because it isn't - it has its baffle securely bolted in. But the note of the exhaust has changed completely. The Yoshi grabs that lovely natural V-twin double-throb by the goolies and gives it a giant hit of testosterone. The Crow's voice dropped an octave today and turned into a deep, throaty growl. My new bike is now the two-wheeled equivalent of a full-on hairy-chested alpha male.
I'm in love.

Merry thingummies, btw :-) Hope you're not snowed in, the way most of my UK rellies/friends seem to be! And of course, if you ARE snowed in - hope you have a good stash of meatballs to tide you over till Spring!!! Cheers!
You have to release the v-twin music.
