ive thought about those myself. and my cobra pipes arent even that loud but when travelling alot of miles, especially with other bikers i think its a good idea to a certain degree.

Mostly for the wind whistle at highway speeds. It has a cumulative damage effect on your ears. Since I started riding, I noticed my old tinitus (gunfire) has gotten worse. I now wear earplugs whenever I plan to go 45mph or over.

My only ritual is T-CLOCKS - so far.

Oh, I forgot the every-ride-must-end-with-a-cup-of-tea ritual

You're right, bout the cuppa, same here!

If my bike is hard starting then I won't ride. I learned that with my dirtbike, everytime it got hard to start but I got it started something bad happened (broke something, crash, cops.....)

So what does the "K" in t-clocks stand for? haha.

arent you worried about not hearing traffic or sirens around you? i tried riding with headphones one time and really couldnt be comfortable not hearing whats around me.

I really only have one ritual and that is I clean my sled every morning before I take her out . And check my gas tanks .
Also I clean my scoots before I do any work on them .
Thasssss about it .
