The bike should have one of those on it.You gave me the idea for the Made in England !
My only suggestion is to use the script version.

Agreed - just looks more appropriate.The bike should have one of those on it.

Had a quick read Ken, but didn’t find anything. I expect it’s a given that it would shear - ya don’t want that thing slicing, dicing and maybe even circumcising on the way down!Having had more than my share of high speed crashes on the track, and the resultant injuries, the images my mind conjures up of what the "bacon slicer" aero could do to my body would prevent me from ever throwing a leg over that bike, lovely as it looks otherwise.
And SS brings up a good point. Anybody know if the aero features on modern race bikes are specifically designed to break away to avoid injury in a crash? It would certainly seem like a good idea.

GLB , Great ride it looks like ! That's a big group your riding with and lots of "modern bikes" too.Just under three hundred miles today up to the Norfolk coast in a loop. Not as warm as the sky and sun suggest!!!!
Hi Tony Sorry I ride normally one my own. This just happened to be Hunstanton in Norfolk which is a regular bike hangout especially on a Sunday I have fitted two separate baffles to the megaphones. This tones it down just enough that the drone does not effect my hearing, maybe!!!!!GLB , Great ride it looks like ! That's a big group your riding with and lots of "modern bikes" too.I guess I should know this but are you running baffled megaphone exhaust ?

A few of us from the facebook group arrange ride outs. We used to go to the Old factory and started to visit the new one In Solihull just for a photo shoot. I made a long weekend out of it and also visited @stuartbodycote at motorvated on the Friday. It rained for the six hours I was riding on Friday. Sunday afternoon wash later.Great pics glb, what’s the story - 961 group blast to Solihull for a tour, test ride or just a picture?
Geez, get that beauty cleaned immediately - I’m coming out in hives just looking at it!!![]()
Visibiy little or no difference Perhaps best left to Paul Watkins who owns this and a previous incarnation for the best back to back Opinions. He is on this group but I don’t know his usernameI spot a Solihull 961 in the mix, what's the verdict!
