I already know my bars are as hollow as my head... Move on, nothing to see here....

I've sometimes picked up a subtle whistling sound when you ride.  This may explain that.   :biggrin:
It's a high pitched sound that is difficult for the human ear to detect. Works like a deer whistle... its his built in safety device...

Too bad that the tone does not affect pine cones, they are more likely to take a bike down than deer in my part of the twisties...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
