Sound effect on starter button press!

[grr666]

I sat next to a Sportster at the lights on the Spacker once. I thought he must have had had start stop?? Couldn't hear
a thing over mine. I bet he immediately went to Riders to order some $2500 chrome plated scaffold tubes to replace
the EU approved noise restriction exhaust system after being DB'd out by a Yamaha triple.

Back in 2009 mine cost £630 plus £120 for the cbt, plus whatever a theory test costs.

I believe I paid the upper end of pricing back then, but the training was v.good so I won't complain. That was Friday to Sunday training, with a single test on Monday morning (this was prior to the 2 part test), I hadn't ever ridden a bike before the CBT a month earlier either.

So 3 days training was sufficient in my experience.

80 for cbt and 350 for direct access when I did mine

was meant to be a 125 test but my bike broke on the day so the school loaned me a bike

Wouldn't the effect be the same if, every time you pressed the starter button, you yelled a Tarzan call? How cool would that be?

I've been riding bikes for 20 years. I've immersed myself in biking culture. I've seen the loptoff lugs, the helmet mohicans, the rotating gatling gun exhausts, the anodised everything, the mirrored iridium screens, the flip colour wraps, the extended swinging arms. Even a police siren type thing that makes laser beam noises etc. If it's bad taste (or good) I've seen it. I've even seen the turbo visor:

What I have NEVER seen in that entire time is a mod that plays a noise when you hit the starter. Not only have I not seen it, but it's legendarily pointless as a significant majority of motorcyclists have loud exhausts which would drown out any feeble electronic tat.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I imagine OP is wishing he hasn't even suggested the idea

Might I suggest the opening line to, "Born To Be Wild" could be a best-seller?

I did my direct access in 2002 and it was £500 for a three day course and test.
But the neat thing was they did guaranteed pass - for £30 extra they would retrain and retest you for free until you finally passed.
I passed first time but still think it was worth it because it took some pressure off.

£2k does seem a lot in comparison, but this was 15 years ago and in Lincolnshire (maybe location plays a part)?
