FANTASTIC  Reminds me of the Stafford show in October. They have a paddock area where they fire up bikes of interest - Tz's, old racing 4 strokes and Allen Millyards creations. Always draws a big crowd. Some of the bikes are ear splittingly loud  Dusty |

A big four stroke four cylinder with open pipes is great but....Phil Reed 1972/3? RG500 at Cadwell 2019 for the Classic Suzuki day. No silencers, as was the norm in 1973. What a sound! Track limit is 105dB, my RGV was 90 ish. There was no way on earth that bike was under 105. They did test it but I don't think anyone was brave enough to tell him he couldn't go out It sounded even better flat out on the start/finish straight. |

Don’t quite remember my xj550 with alfa41 sounding like that even with rose tinted hearing aids but do think air cooled for strokes with race pipes for some reason do sound better

The sounds remind me of the Transatlantic Troohy races in the 70’s. Graham Crosby on his Morawaki Kawasaki 👍🏻
