RE: exhaust
I wish you luck joey954 since no one is able to talk you out of this.. will say i have ridden my bike through almost everystate east of missip and west through canada and alaska and have only seen 2 roads worthy of attempting such speed one road is in canada the other is just outside of anchorage and is a divided interstate w over a five mile straightaway. a perfect beeline.. smooth and new. no traffic. no exits. no turnarounds,no onramps
however such a road is a rarity. almost mythical spoken of in hushed and gigglytones over a cold malt liquor. and even with such a road those who use it for such purpose go there at 430 am and have a traffic control plan in place. after having driven the road at low speed four to a lane looking for any debris or potholes. then the only hazard is the driver himself.
