We did a loop from Windsor-Putty Road-Broke-Wollombi-Kulnura-Home. In theory starting
from the McGraths Hill Mcdonalds at 09:30 (actually 10 oclock) and ended up at Debs
parents place at Kulnura just before 2 pm for a barbeque lunch and bafflectomy on Debs
bike. We got a little rain at times but generally it was fine.
We left with Deb, Burnie, Michelle (Virago) and Karen (Yamaha 250 cruiser?) and picked
up Garry and Pam at Broke. Nigel, of Monster fame, turned up at Debs parents, but he does not count as he had a 4WD
and baby.
Apologies if I have got anybodies name wrong

Bafflectomy;
You drill out (or use a deep hole saw) to remove the plate between the baffle that sticks
out and the edge of the pipe. There is another plate approx 8 inches in that the final
baffle goes thru and you need to wiggle (vigorously) the baffle to break the two inner
welds holding the baffle to this plate. Then pull, bend and swear (the welds cause it to
jam as you pull it thru the hole) until it comes out. Then clean up around the edge. If
you look in you will then notice that there are still two inner baffles left (leave them
alone). No extra power, no re-jetting required, just a better sound.
