other day this guy was wearing america pants (WTF) and kept revving his harley next to me then took off when the light turned green to show off. down the road i saw him getting pulled over, i was so happy..

what a douche bag, seriously he thought he was cool with his harley and his america gear.. LOL

 

Gear? Around here, gear consists of a wife beater, jean shorts, and sneakers or flops. That's for pretty much all riders though, whether they be on Harleys or Gixxers.

 

Yes I have always got a kick out of the Harley gear!
My favourite is the banker husband and wife team who are in their late 50's. Leathers, chaps, boots, bandana's. Temporary tatoos!

1200 Sportster. 60hp
Gsxr 600 (half the displacement). 110hp.

And don't bring up the same old torque argument. We're not pulling trailers.

Yep, harleys are sooooooo badass

 

I've got nothing against American styling. I'd own a Fat Boy or Road King for a 2nd or 3rd bike. My only real complaint about HD directly is how they charge extra to improve things that should come that way (Screaming Chicken Stage X kits). My bitch is with RUB's and posers.

 

The totally excessive noise they emit is utterly absurd! I cannot understand why they need them to be that loud on any day or what remote purpose it serves?!?!

The ironic thing is, their 'motto' about "Loud pipes saves lives" is quite humorous to me b/c if you think about it you'll usually only ever hear the bike once it has passed you, well after any kind of preventative maneuvers could be made to avoid an accident if necessary...

Should be illegal and they should be subject to excessive decibel level violations IMO.

 

Some of the fart pipes some ricers put on their S2000's are just as annoying.

I'm not a fan of Harley's even though my buddy is a editor for a Harley mag. But I don't lose sleep over them. His bikes are slow my turbo Busa is fast,big deal.

To each his own. To some the Harley's are look at me rides. To others a bunch of S2000 diving together look like their leading a Pride Parade.

 

What pisses me off the most is that cops pull over cars for exhaust citations, that are half as less db than a harley with bleeding ear loud pipes.

And the neighbor next to me who revs his Harley in the garage at 2am for 2 minutes at full throttle when he gets drunk.

 

I hate them too. The exhaust note sounds about as nice as my lawnmower and they seem to be proud of that noise for some reason. As for the stupid argument that the loud exhausts save lives, helmets do a better job of that and I hardly ever see harley riders wearing those.
