    At 3/4 of nominal max. power output without rev limiter or at the rev limiter, if I understood well. Not sure, it's a science to properly apply those testing procedures. Anyways, off to Scotland we go now!

    Some of the newer ducati are like that. Static noise testing on trackdays is usually 102db so they aren't allowed out. Even though they will pass drive by 'on track' limits

    Nice! Bikes are allowed higher limits here as well, some as high as 105 or so. Old enough, and there are no limits at all. Germany authorities turned nuts regarding exhaust noise, some people are just crazy. Emptying exhaust dampeners...

    If it helps, I have those. And the rear ones require some brackets on the outer wings. The front ones, well, those required some creative drilling. In the end I drilled a hole through the bumper and used bolts to attach them. Not really happy...

    Well, super car noise limits in Germany are 75 dB(A), so 79 is roughly 30% higher than that. Normal road cars are capped at 73, if I remember correctly, I am allowed to be at least 60% in perceived noise over that. dB(A) is on a logarithmic...

    all well and good, but a lot is down to opinion (and subsequently experience) of the tester.. one mans advisory is another mans fail. tolerances in older cars arent the same as modern cars. if you've only ever seen modern, you'll fail an old car...

    Checked my NS mirror. Bit odd. The glass had just detached itself. Plastic strap and even the plastic mount that typically explodes as soon as you look at it fine. Reassembled and it is fine. Bit of a result!
