Sound effect on starter button press!

[superfly77]

Dear all,

Forgive the lame first post and thread, but the following is driving me nuts. I have never ridden a bike, but have chosen a 125 and am booked into a CBT and in true midlife crisis style cant wait to join the fraternity.

Amongst the hours of excited internet surfing for tips, advice, suggestions and so on, I recall a number of years ago at a food kiosk that a couple of bikers finished their biscuits and tea and hopped onto their sports bikes. When one of them started up, there was a Tarzan yell that sounded, and the other had a lion roaring on pressing the starter button.

Not sure it would suit a massive 125 putt-putting along at 25mph, but was wondering if anyone might be able to direct me toward where to research that kind of starter button mod. I cant find them anywhere!!

There's a reason you can't find it. A bit like polite vests and stick on ears, wiper thing on a visor etc, it's naff as fuck.
If they came on here punting it, there's a very good chance they got roundly laughed out of the room! Or someone just told them 'No, just no.'

They're illegal.

If you want to get noticed a loud obnoxious exhaust is the answer.



But not on a 125. Never on a 125. Unless of course you enjoy the sound of prolonged, wet farts.

We Found 0 Clips With "Prolonged Wet Farts"

How disappointing.

[superfly77]

I’m sensing this isn’t a popular idea.

Fair enough! Explains why I couldn’t find anything on it. It was just a curiosity anyway. Why are the illegal?

Agree a 125 isn’t particularly gangsta, but unless I build a successful time machine first I don’t suppose I have much choice as a biking newbie.

[Freddyfruitba...]

I imagine what you witnessed was a DIY lash-up... I'm sure there'll be plenty of gadgets available like novelty car horns which make duck noises etc; all that would be necessary would be to wire one of those up to the starter button along with a little bit of electronickery.

But for God's sake don't do it, eh?

I hereby bear witness that I will never even mention it again let alone consider ever doing it.

Personally I think you should be kick starting 125's and anything else with a single cylinder engine for that matter. You don't need no daft starter button yeehawww noises then, and if your 125 hasn't got a kick starter then take it back as you've bought the wrong one!

If you had of gone ahead with this daft full retard accessory, what would have been the second thing you bought for your bike? Maybe one of those exhaust silencer turbo whistles?

Or, you could attach playing cards to the forks with a clothes peg. They'd go "flappety flappety flappety" against the spokes as you ride along. Awesome.

Now I’m going to have to research direct access.

Any vague indications of time and cost for someone with no experience at all??

Thanks chums.

Hells bells man, that’s a lot of kiplings worth right there.

I found a place in london where apparently you can do a lame cbt and then do some more training depending on your own particular learning speed and pay as you go. Word.

I’ll call them tomorrow and nail this monkey down and then decide what to do. Not sure how I feel about the prospect of going back to school after thirty years.

[trevor saxe-coburg-gotha]

about same cost as for car

I paid £650 for my DAS..... £2k seems rather.... extreme

It sounds very Hardly Dae Anything-esque.
Harley Davidson riders/owners like to think noise is power.
That why they continuously twiddle the throttle to make potato....potato....potato... potato... whilst the machine is at walking pace anytime they see an opportunity to impress a crowd.
Even one person, innocently minding their own business, becomes a crowd in the eyes of a Harley owner..
Noise Makers are Cool for Hardly Dae-Anything riders/owners.
