Several years the Road King blub blub blub was finely tuned
then hearing declined
noise disturbed the peaceful ride
Mike of Wizard Cycles I said
I need quiet pipes
Bassani’s modest blub-blub is a sound
but roaring up hills is not satisfying
Mike swapped ‘em out with slip-on stock and said no charge
to his benefit Bassini costs twice as loud
two years later I joined the sport-touring team
listening is on a BMW
to the wind.
