OK, I know; pipes have been hashed out before, but........ Laser: Higher quality/more reliable (true?), less maintenance/no
repacking required ( I care), exotic coolness factor (blush!), questionable
availability (Fred: can we get them yet?
The latest is that I am in contact with a Dutch shipper and soon as I get some prices, they will be on the first airplane over here. Don't give up on the ProDuros. I will have some soon.

i know nothing about the laser. the supertrapp ids2 is not particularly
loud. i asked my wife (when i snuck up behind her while she was running). i
wasn't supposed to be riding because my foot was all bandaged up, but i
couldn't stand it anymore, and i had just put the exhaust on and rejetted,
so i had to go ride.
anyway, it's louder than stock, but not all that much, and sounds a lot more
manly. in conjunction with rejetting, it improves performance, especially
low end and midrange. so far, i like it. (plus it's MUCH lighter than stock)

This has come up on several other e-groups that I belong to. The ads are
moving to the tops of the messages. That is unless the group wishes to pay
$4.95 per month. If we pay the $4.95, the e-group will be ad-free. On the
other hand, e-groups promises better ad removal when someone replies to a
message, so we should only see one ad per message.

Holy cow! Thanks for the review, Eric. That will be a tough standard
to keep up with, but I'd rather make a few good things than a lot of
crappy ones. Thanks again!
If only I'da thought of those little aluminum scooters, with the
rollerblade wheels... Man, those things are everywhere!
