    Default Racing Engine Sounds

    Hi All,

    For all of you gear heads that have a passion for great racing engine sounds, I found a web site that I think you will enjoy.

    http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Sounds.htm


    Some of the engine sounds are so spectacular they give me goose bumps, but I still think the all time sweetest sounding engine ever is a 6 cylinder Quincy Looper.

    thanks,

    Paul A Christner

    Paul,
    You're absolutely correct.
    Nothing sounds sweeter than a 6 cyl. Looper. Even the most dyed in the wool Konig lover will admit that.
    The Mod guys were testing at Twin Oaks last spring.
    During a lull in the action I opened the doors to my pickup, turned the volume up to maximum and played a CD with Wayne Walgrave and Bruce Summers doing combat with a pair of 6 Loopers.
    You should have seen the heads turn!

    Default your looper recording

    Gene:

    You need to see if you can get that on BRF. Chances are some of the newer members have never heard one. I would gladly take a chance on what little hearing I have left to be able to wake the animals up around here late at nite.

    If Gene can send me a copy I can do something with it here.
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Cool site Paul those were the golden years of the factory wars in the 60,s between Honda and Yamaha. Honda with four strokes and Yamaha with two strokes. Honda found the only way to compette was more pistons, more valves and 17,000 to 18,000 rpms. 50cc- 2, 125-4, 250-6, 300-6 and 500-6
    and at one point I think they tried a 500 -8 all with 3 or 4 valves. Back then all the GP circuts were laid out on back roads and streets. Mike Hailwood was the man for Honda and won alot of Championships.

    Default Rock On

    There is no better tune than the sweet sounding 6 Looper. I have yet to hear a band that can rival this sound, and never will.

    And yes Gene, you fire up a True 6 Cyl Looper at any Mod race and just about every head will turn. It still gets the hair on the back of my neck to stand up when I think about how sweet sounding those are.

    I have purchased the last 2 remaining CD's that my supplier had. As soon as I receive them I will mail one to Sam to share with all of you. I won't part with the copy I now have.

    Why didn't I just make a copy of that one? Simple, I don't believe in pirating other people's work.

    I played this at 3:00AM once and didn't realize I had the volume up so high.

    Wives do not appreciate this kind of music at 3:00AM.

    You have been warned!

    I guess Sam hasn't received the CD yet. Now I understand why they call it "snail mail".
    Hang in there. It's worth the wait.
    Might be a good idea to wait until the "Little Lady" has gone to Wal-Mart and you've put the dog outside before turning up the volume.
