Default Thanks for comments.

Hi.

Thanks for some new comments.

carlgrover.
Thanks.
I have got the muffler and changed it.
Today was only changing, so I'm looking forward to hear the sound.
Do you like to see other Japanese old movies too?
I like Zatoichi too but there are so many Zatoich movies here Japan.
What Zatoichi did you see?
Takeshi Kitano?

fatbob123.
Thanks. Ha ha
Be fine and ride safe.

Regards.

Pi ... when are you going to come to the US and do some riding with your new HD Forum friends?

What type of riding do you do there? Do you have some good country back roads with twists & hills? Do you do a lot of city riding? Do you ride alone a lot, or with other riders?

Having been to Japan numerous times in my Navy career...one thing I always said...I would never drive there! Scares me to death!

So....Anyone who rides a bike there has my respect...

Yeah, put some loud pipes on there and wake your neighbors up, at least they will know when you are around, hahahaha...... just keep your quiet pipes somewhere in case you get in trouble and have to put them back on

Your english is fine, welcome aboard

same in many european countries.
Germany, switzerland and a few others do not even give you the option to put other mufflers on...they will pull you over and fine you hard
england and france you can get away with louder exhausts though usually for inspection you need to put the stock back on to pass

Takeshi Kitano
I have the entire Zatoichi collection. I have seen the "beat" Takeshi Kitano remake and also have all 26 Shintaro Katsu (Katsushin) movies as well as the entire TV series. They are all in Japanese with English subtitles. It is a huge collection that goes back to the 1960's.

I also like the "Lone wolf and Cub" series and have all 6 movies.

I have watched many other old Japanese movies, mostly Samurai movies starring Toshiro Mifune and others.

I wish my Japanese was as good as your English. My son speaks it fluently, and we have good friends working in Japan. They say the same thing, it's almost a cultural thing. If EPA continues, it won't be long till we'll all have the same thing.

Default First thing I changed

First thing I changed, as my wife said as she was following me home with the new Fatboy.......I can't hear you.....is that safe? I said....absolutely not and the Vance and Hines Big Radius made a world of difference.
