The Blackwall Tunnel... - Page 2

I live 5 minutes south of the Blackwall and have been through there on many many occasions ... its quite a narrow tunnel so the noise is close ..... went through there a couple of years ago accompanied by 6 other dukes and not a road legal termi in sight ... stunning ......

Try going north around the M25 after the Brands round of WSB, going through the Dartford tunnel with a hundred or so bikes even if they are Multi's, sounds just awsome, hardly hear your self think

Try Bologna to Florence! Man they are some serious tunnels, then 3 monsters with rather loud cans can booming past, class.

I used to always back fire our sherpa vans thru` the tunnel years ago and you can actually hear the sound wave travel along the tunnel, seriously loud!
Quite awsome really!

The north bound Blackwall is best, 'cos it's narrower and has more bends to accelerate towards and then slow down for (Get the open airbox sounding on the overrun BBBWWWWORRRRRRRRRRRRR.........)

There's a new tunnel up near the top of the Pas de la Casa going into Andorra, its about 2 km long, i got a big smile and thumbs up from the toll booth operator after giving the bike full throttle through there last year

I've got standard cans but I can never resist revving it in confined spaces, even for a couple of seconds passing under a raliway bridge. Will be going as noisily as possible through Rotherhythe on Saturday. That's a really old narrow tunnel which gives a special sound too. It is such a thrill to hear that bike. I love it! Good thread BC - good to see I'm not the only noise pollutionist around
