Do you guys have our videos up somewhere where I can hear your bikes run? Youtube selection is limited and not so hot... and.  is there an album to put our pics in? I saw the Gallery, but surely there are more than that!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arBlgLRzq8k and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_WSosUeGkQ is mine.  Just a warning, there's an audio glitch at the end of the second video...  The first video was right after I got the bike, that was about as long as I could keep it running.  It's come a long way, it runs great now!  :D

Inane, that's so quiet.  What's wrong with it??  Must be those funny looking pipes you have on it

Hah, yeah. I used h2os hand drill to poke a bunch of holes in the back of the pipes. Sounds different now, a little louder at higher rpm but its less wheezy, more poppy.

I actually called another ROV "newbie" a couple years ago and let him listen to how my MAC exhaust system sounded on my bike.  He was pretty thrilled to hear it.
There really is no substitute for experiencing the sound of a finely tuned Vision, whether it has MACs or stock exhaust.  I'm partial to the MACs though.
I need to record a 320kbps mp3 of my vision running and upload it to my blog site.
EDIT: I recorded a long ride with Lucky a couple years ago and posted it on google video.  I'll have to look for the link and post it.
EDIT2: not the one I was looking for as it was done with my crappy camera: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=ride+with+lucky&hl=en&emb=0&aq=f#q=xz550+ride&hl=en&emb=0

I have a better one...about 500mb for a 45 minute ride with a better camera...and, it was me chasing Lucky and a couple times with Lucky chasing me.  Very sweet sound of two Visions running MAC exhausts.

Funny tidbit...while we were riding, we were able to match each others RPM,s......what a sound!
Lucky tuned my bike for me.  Of course, he "says" that he tuned it just a hair under his.....
