              the most important thing, it's loud and scares the crap out of car drivers. Nice! I'm a great believer in loud pipes save lives.

         Glad i am not the only one who thinks this way. I have only been riding my XT for a week now and have found a blip of the throttle an effective way of notifying a car driver of your presence on more than one occasion!
         
        
 I would never condone relying on this entirely but the riding position makes you bigger and therefore easier to see - Stuey sitting bolt upright on his XT has a damn sight better chance of being seen by a car pulling out from a side road than the other bloke crouched down on his sports bike.
