Wellington, '04 Velocity Red Type S.

Why is it half the local 8 owners don't return my acknowledgements - or rather look back at me in bewilderment? Guess they don't know they're in an exclusive club!

I have it in my shed . It has a heat sheild around it so you can tell pretty easily . How loud is it with two resonators & stock muffler ?
(I only have one & its a bit raspy)
