I think my CBR steelie is o.k. as I bunged a db killer in it when I got it; but I'd like to be sure and I expect most of us would, so as this is primarily a SWB club trackday out, has anyone on here got one I/we could borrow to check our bikes out?

As an afterthought, and I'm only throwing the idea around for discussion, is there any mileage in thinking about SWB purchasing one for use by (a) SWB subscribers for free or a nominal sum and (b) SWB non-subcribers for a fee?

I have one.

Only trouble is, they need to be calibrated yearly and also the readings you'll get say in a carpark or your driveway will be different from that in a paddock or testing area.

Best you'll get is a rough idea.

Wouldn't mind borrowing it Si'. If that's a goer, any chance of bringing it along to the Queens Head on the next MotoGP day on March 31st? It'll be worth a small libation to you - cos I'm nothing if not generous !

I wont be going fast enough to make any noise

It’s worth taking a baffle when they tested my bike last year it was 107db standard and dropped to 98db with the baffle. Though for a little while that I would not be getting on track as I know my exhaust is loud but just goes to show how good baffles are and what a difference they make.

Does Nigela Lawson et al know about these food baffles? Perhaps it's yet another fad diet?

i thought they were a dietary aid. Restrict the food quantity, reduce the timber end product, increase the power to weight ratio.

Thank you Rob. As a literary pedant I am now appeased and will sleep easy. Except for 'Through' instead of 'Thought' - but we'll overlook that particular little peccadillo in the interests of social harmony .
