Just for fun, I pulled the baffles last night. Holy mother of God, scary-loud. Scared a little girl in my neighbor hood, she started crying and ran to her mother when I rode past at a very moderate rate (I like my neighbors). Started it up again tonight, my next door neighbor looked visibly upset. On the return trip, told him the baffles were going back in ASAP, not to worry, he seemed relieved. On then downside, putting the screws back in each baffle is a major hassle (getting the hole to line up) and not to be done with any frequency.
