Doe’s anyone remember those large springs that were fitted over the exhaust down pipes ? What were they called ? haven 't seen them for many years. ?
I certainly remember them from the 1970s, generally fitted to home made cafe racers. Supposed to help exhaust cooling, just like alloy bacon slicers were supposed to cool brake drums. My bullshit radar was quite well developed even then: I was never tempted. Also obvious rust traps.

Ah , that explains your award from last year…! 
Been 10 days since last ride, which is the point I start getting (more) grumpy and irritable so took advantage of the summer that seems to have finally arrived for a couple of days.
Could only do a few hours in morning due to family commitments but tomorrow is looking very good too (if perhaps too hot) so will make a full day of it up the Peak District
