As far as the Harley haters go in here, how about you go find your typical Harley rider and go tell him what an asshole you think he is. Let us know how it goes. 
Geez, what a bunch of nancies you guys are.

I don't want to play devils advocate and this may not be the case but I know the carburated bikes (like softails and sportsters) when they're cold need to be revved a bunch after the start so they don't stall.
BTW, I do like the bikes.

Freq, I currently ride my naked 1973 BMW R75/5 (sold my FJR). Just did a 250 mile mixed highway/twisties ride yesterday. Wind blast is a b!tch at 90 MPH. Been riding for over 25 years now. I think you know what I mean about RUB's and posers. I'm not one of them but they're out there. And Harley is calling to them. I'm more like a 2%'er. You sensitive for a reason? 
Last time I bumped into a group of real life Hells Angels they were riding a diverse group of bikes, including a K-LT. I think the 1%'ers are as peeved as I am about the RUB's.
Oh, and reving for cold carbs is total BS. If my '73 is cold I choke it, not rev it. Those @sswipes just need to raise their idle. Only stupid people rev a cold engine!
