I once stuffed the exhaust of a 6-into-1 pipe on a Honda CBX1000 with a couple of Brillo Pads (for those not familiar, they are steel-wool pads impregnated with soap gel for cleaning stubborn pots and pans) to get the exhaust noise down to MoT-friendly levels. And it worked very well too. Riding home the bike was a predictable pain and just wouldn't rev, so foolishly I gave it rather too many beans until it cleared, resulting in the launching of two flaming, smoking surface-to-air missiles directly at the car following, which swerved violently and mounted the kerb. Not big or clever, but at least I could then get away from the inevitable road-rage......
That is screamingly funny! Maybe not to the vehicle behind you but I can visualize it and it just puts a big smile on my face. Thanks for brightening my day.
