love the sound of it :) have you got in Canada? Do you know if it's street legal in ontario?

Thanks my friend, it sounds great in person! No actual dB level restrictions that I have seen, its more of a municipal law than provincial. Please see below:

Noise, smoke, bells and horns
Muffler
75.
(1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1)

The Akra Race should suffice to legal requirements in Ontario. I passed a police office yesterday and he did not give me any trouble.

Cheers,
AK

Nice, thank you. The office yesterday maybe was deaf ;)

Not from Canada but love the country, been to Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. Would love to live there. So what do you guys do in the winter months, swap your CBR's for Snowmobiles?

Really depends on where you live and how close to snowmobile trails you are. Unless you're living in the country where you've got room to store and run the snowmobiles, it's tough and expensive to store them in the city and the trailer you would need to get them to any sort of trails that are usually 1-2 hours away in most cases (in my province anyway). A vehicle with towing capacity required as well.

It's fun with great scenery, but not as fun or convenient as the bike in my opinion.

I went skiing in Mont Tremblant, and nearby there was a place where you could hire snowmobiles and go out as a group with a guide. Of course there were plenty of trails to ride on, and 70mph on a snowmobile is great fun! I was thankful that snowmobiles have heated grips though.

There are some yes that enjoy snowmobiles but like h0ck3y @h0ck3y said it's quite an expensive hobby if you live in the city. I'm in Montreal and the closest trails are about a 1 hour drive out.
Otherwise I'm a avid gamer so if I'm not on the bike or at work I'm playing video games. Some times there's an odd trip out of town to go snowboarding or I'll head way up north (5h drive) and I'll use a family member's snowmobile and beat it off trail in the woods.

They need to stop plowing the roads and force everyone to ride snowmobiles. In those in between times, we would all drive lawn tractors. That's my ideal world anyways.

You know what? I think when I overthrow the government, I might just do this.

In Vancouver we barely even get snow. Just extra rain on top of the non stop rain we already get.
