I have never been keen on very noisy bikes, as I use my bikes for everyday transport. But last year I bought a small bike for town transport, being Euro 5, it was whisper quiet, eventually I knocked out a couple of baffles, not because I wanted to make more noise, but because I got fed up with smartphone zombies stepping out directly in front of me.

This was pretty fun...I loved that your daughter wanted to race you...and she took off running. Of course it goes faster - haha!!!

Daughter sharing Dad's excitement is best. Remember my brother taking the cans off his Matchless for same reason. Didn't run too well.

Fuck it run straight headers🤘😎 loud pipes make smiles!

Love that unique Triumph tick-over sound. Way back in 1979 I had a 1970 T100P and I too removed the mufflers. Loved it. Greetings from Ireland.

Ten years earlier I waas doing the same with my 1958 350. It seems that those lovely Triumph twins make the same noise regardless of capacity.

Just buy a new "muffler" that has no muffling whatsoever so it looks like it has a muffler, but is basically straight piped. Then you can say "I don't know why its so loud, the muffler is on."

I did the opposite of this to my bike 4 months ago, making it less louder, because i need to go out at 5am and doesn't want to wake the neighbor up.

Sounded great, like a proper motorcycle. I've got an x-pipe and British Customs predator pros on my Triumph t120 and it sounds great - increased power too.

Love the sound of the straight pipes. Sounds like my dad's 650 bsa with megaphone pips

There is nothing like a Triumph muffler sweet sound. I put a pair of Hooker headers on my CL450 Honda, no one would ride with me I put the stock mufflers back on.

I love the uneven idling, like a proper idle should sound!😍👌

So cool! Personaly, i went strictly old school, i've made holes (with a concrete drill) in the cylinder chamber. The sound is "powonderfull"!!!

Just running headers sounded great that’s the plan for my 73 bonneville

It sounded great. But loud bikes drive me nuts.

Removing the silencers will normally cut the power at the lower engine speeds. You have removed the back pressure so some of the mixture escapes before it fires. There is no advantage to doing this at all unless you have set up for racing. There is a compromise but the standard exhaust of that 500 are the best it can have.

I prefer fitting rear footrests at 45 degrees angle so they folds upwards/backwards. Back in the sixties many of us had straight pipes. But they shall be longer. Otherwise you gets less power. Pipes about the length of the muffler. Also bigger main jets. Got bad hearing back then. Funny thing, fitted an original muffler instead of an aftermarket to the Vincent. Much louder and plus 7 Mph top speed.

Back in the day, everyone ran shorties on Triumph, BSA, Honda CB's.

Kool,Thanks for sharing.

I kept an oil pan under my Bonnie, too.

Anyone who is fortunate enough to have a vintage Triumph, deserves the right to run it however they want. I was around in the 50's and 60's when Triumphs were truly simply great motorcycles. I am 82, and my 99 Harley Softail Custom has open drag pipes. But I live a couple of miles from a small town. But I have a soft spot in me for vintage Triumphs. I have ridden many but the 650c with the high pipes, single carb, and knobby tires was a hoot to ride in the dirt or on the road.

sounds like music to my ears

Are you near Portland now? You should meet up with Mike from Mighty Garage youtube channel and do a video. He's got some cool Triumphs, Nortons and Vincents. I'm pretty sure he's in the Portland area. You guys could do a cool cross over episode. At the very least, he's a good guy to know if he's local to you.

Probably the most plentiful models are the T140 Bonneville 750s from the 70s and early 80s, which are cheaper than the 60s 650s, certainly here in the UK. You can still buy almost all the parts for these, new, off the shelf from quite a few specialists, so they are a very practical classic to own (I've had my 78 T140V for 29 years now). I tried starting mine up a few years ago without the silencers (mufflers) fitted to see what it sounded like, but, to be honest, it wasn't much louder than with the Norton style pea-shooters it normally has (they are straight-through anyway).

The stock exhaust system sounds good to me. The straight pipe wasn't all that loud and like the saying goes "Loud pipes save lives".

Sounds great

I would totally do this 😂 👍

I’ve worked with triumphs a lot in my youth you lose a small amount of power with straight pipes

They run leaner and pump harder with out the muffler. Your twin is a slight change compared to a what a 1977 Honda 750Four four into one changes to with the muffler removed. It turns into a Lion from a pussy cat.

Now you have no necessary Back Pressure… it will not run good without it.

That’s good sounding

I have the fat vintage style Harley fishtails on my 1965 TR6. Defy sounds real good without pissing off your neighbors. Add a bike must have some back pressure to work properly.

ahh!..that sweet sound of open pipes on a triumph

I wanna see your Honda straight piped next.

Music to my ears… did the same thing to my Bonni. The stock mufflers are super heavy.

Those old Triumphs actually sound good with straight pipes

@gelynch52phPH

But you need to buy aftermarket pipes that do not shrink down in diameter & run pipes that go past the rear axle for the best sound and performance.

A straight pipe is loud. However if you really want to hear something great, put a set of Megaphones on the straight pipe. I have seen many of the old Triumph's, Norton Manx, Commando's, BSA Gold Stars, AJS, Benneli, etc race at the Vintage TT races. You really should find the closest Vintage TT race and you will be amazed! I put a set of performance TT pipes on my Bonneville with built in silencers. The silencers are short little pea shooter type mufflers. They are very loud when I ride hard. Not too bad if I take it easy. The pipe is oversize on these pipes. I had to rejet up three sizes on account of the pipes and K+N filters. You can gain a nice amount of power by improving the breathing on your bike.

Had a Mk 2 Bsa Spitfire. and would run it like this until my confidence would fail .police were very hot back then . but if you did intend to run straight through pipes all the time you would have to alter the jetting a little !

Sounds better than a Harley...

Definitely straight pipes or a more aggressive muffler than what you had on there, lol.

The footpeg rubber is removable and replacable.

First! I think it sounds great!

This is a retro bike and the matching retro sound

Sound great with the stock pipes.....also think of your hearing.....ok while your young.....but it will harm you.

Save some money and get a motorcycle lift thank me later. The cheap ones for like 450$ work great.

You can get drag pipes for that..they look stock...but are straight pipes...i highly suggest em🤫😛

turn the foot rest ribber over without turning the foot peg they are left or right there is not one specific for the right or one specific for the left they go either side its just the rubber needs rotating drrrrr

Now take the air filter off and put on a velocity stack!

Mufflers sound good. Too loud without them.

If you're really going to do that you need to fatten up the mix a bit. It'll run lean and that's not good for motorcycles.

twist the rubber around on the foot peg then it would be right

Take this rubber from steel "stick" and rotate only rubber part not the whole peg.

You are the most underrated youtuber

Yes, it was fun for a short while for you and your daughter, but no mufflers kills your torque on low revs and during acceleration and the feeling the bike got faster is just a feeling nothing more. Makes your fuel consumption lower as well and certainly annoys neighbors, and everybody riding / driving behind you. Other than that original Triumph exhaust has such a great sound not too laud but with this bass undertone in it. Makes it sound like a much bigger motorcycle than it really is.

If you'll drive around with these pipes maybe your neighbors will play the famous cover song "Burning down the bike" by Talking Heads. 😅 (You have a very smart wife)
