I rode here yesterday and I decided that I needed to be very quiet about it so I left the bike by the hedge and walked across.. Any ideas where?

Ive just got a quote for £60 for a good second hand standard silencer for an XR 400. Is this a reasonable price ? I doubt if the original insert is still in place cos they were pretty much instantly removed and the airbox opening modified . Will it be quieter than the so called FMF 'Q' pipe Im currently us...

I was casting round for ideas to make an extension 'can' that would attach to the end of the CRF 230 silencer and replace the rather battered K&N air filter I have been using to reduce the 'pop' effect of this disappointingly noisy little Honda engine. Based on the premis that the solution lies som...

It looks like one of Whisp's sayings has made it into the April 2010 edition of the TRF Trail Mag. Well done that person!

This should be interesting, going to try and purchase all black plastics for the bike, they are looking a bit tatty so nows a good time to try and tone the bike down a bit. I wonder if its possible?

today with Mrs Tis, did about 35 lanes in 50 kms, and apart from two sets of couples (the first of which were true miseries even when blessed with a cheery smile and happy "Hello") we saw absolutely no one! At no point did the sounds we made approach so much as a whisper - there was no revs higher t...

Just trying to make the forum a bit more stealthy

So, I recently changed my bike from a fairly loud one to a smaller more innocuous one.....What have you done to embrace the 'Stealth-E side'? I would like to hear what you've done whether it is to change your riding style, habits, bike, etc?

Valentine’s Day eh? Cooked her-in-doors a steak for tea last night so I got a day pass to go out with a few TRF mates.Slipped out of Exeter via Dawlish around 9.30 and off over towards Teignmouth trying to use a few less known lanes, which worked out well cos it was lovely with not a soul around, even manage...

There'll be a ride on Thursday 18th Feb starting near Plympton. Places are limited to 5 and there's 2 already. Normal stealth rules apply...we will stop for anyone on the lanes and engage in polite conversation.

3 of us might have been out and about today. I'll post a picture up tomorrow. Smashing ride with some lovely lanes ridden. Horses make a bigger mess than we do as evidenced on several lanes today. Downside...we had to mend a bike which took an hour out trying to find an electrical fault without a test lead...

So now I am here, how does one go about advertising a ride or finding about a planned ride, are there any serect signals or handshakes that we need to learn to identify ourselves to one another. such as PLease listen carefully I will say this only once after which my tounge will combust

New member??? · B2spirit

OK, where's the new member area? I'm a convert to the 'stealth mode' having recently purchased an old Yamaha that needs some care and attention. It is rideable and I enjoy it immensely but fear that I will need some advice from others as to how to cure the many problems that make it interesting. Personal...

Some of us may have gone for a ride yesterday in the South-West? If we did perhaps we took some photos that may or may not look like these? This may be the new Stealth-E team at play? Bet you don't know where this is? -- Edited by mouse1 on Saturday 6th of February 2010 01:46:53 PM
