harleys
 

there should be a law against how loud those things should be... theres nothing more annoying than some wanna-be tough guy blasting through residential areas. the volume of their exhaust must equate to the overcompensation of their penis size.

i've owned bikes, normal motorcylces... there's no need for them to be THAT loud.

bastards

But they sure are beautiful machines!

yeah fuck em.

when they're dismantled and sold for scrap metal, yes.

are you scared of bikers?

no, the trick is to play "tequila" on the jukebox and dance around on the bar... just like pee wee herman did. they're instantly your best friends after that.

thanks for the tip, I'll have to get some new shoes now

I have no penis
and I do have a Fatboy

I always wanted a Harley and now I have one, so there.. been thru the Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki, Honda Goldwing, BMW all in Germany and when I came to the USA I wanted a Harley

I paid a small fortune, but I love it,, and I love the loud muffler, I put on Screaming Eagles, however the Stock Harleys DO NOT come with the loud mufflers, they are an option

Don't you have that annoying asian exhaust on your car?

i know this, so why the whole "look at me" infatuation with the custom exhaust??

that was a faulty exhaust seal. you took me to get it fixed!

i saw the new motorbikes of BMW....it's really nice!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup

here are the pics guysof BMW Motorbikes which i think are better than Harley!!!!!

That's my pops BTW. :)

I'm a Harley owner myself. I have non-baffled drag pipes, so it's quite loud (the sound is part of the attraction) , but I would NEVER blast through a residential neighborhood with it.

There are always some people that have no respect at all for others, and unfortunately, some own Harleys, and that very small majority give the rest a bad name...but suppose that's true of a lot of things, that a small majority always ruin it for others...

My dad just got a 100th annv softail, its quiet as hell, you can pull up next to it in your car & barely hear it purring. Doesn't really sound like a harley, but he's gotta have it like that because of the neighborhood they live in...associations & all that.

hAHHAHAHAHAHHSASHAHSHASHAIHUSAH goddamn u made my day

Motorcycles are loud for a reason.. Yuppy assholes in their bmws hear me when I rev my engine and they're doing something stupid.. (And I don't drive a harley.. I'm not dumb enough to entrust my safety to union workers. I drive a kawasaki)..

Forget residential areas.. soccer moms in suvs are my biggest fear in life..w hen I want to blow off some steam, I go to the local yuppy malls and drive through the enclosed parking lots... nothing more satisfying than setting off 200+ car alarms with one good rev.

LOL Rudeboi - the Harleys driving through our condo parking lot down in Florida used to set all of the car alarms off and drive me crazy.

But he's right guys, they're loud for a reason - it ain't just to show off, it's also for safety. How many times has a bike come up beside you on the road and you never knew it?
Never happened with a Harley, did it? :Graucho
If they can hear you, they're less likely to HIT you.

My fucking neighbor has one :(

this dude has like a 40 y/o worn out leather 'cobra' jacket that he insists on wearing everytime he hops on

...I'm guessing its a harley club, I never bothered to ask

lol I dont think all the noise was designed for saftey, but good point :thumbsup

My Fatboy has some pretty loud pipes on it.

I really enjoy the loud sound they put out :)

I thought you said you owned bikes before. Louder pipes breathe better, increase horsepower. Besides, loud pipes save lives.

i live in myrtle beach, 2 times a year we have a bike week here, so we are flooded to the gills with bikers

everyone here loves them due to the amount of money the spend, but seein i dont revolve around the tourist dollar, all they do is get in my way, trash the beach, and keep me up at night

dont get me wrong, alot of em are cool guys or what not, but for the most part they fuckin suck

all of you complaining about my loud pipes are just jealous. when i pass by you in your benz and i make you drop your cell phone by revving my engine you will know who is boss!

How about we drop our cell phones, and run your ass over?

:1orglaugh jk :1orglaugh

i had a air horn installed on my old RZ 350... loud as any harley out there but readily available to use whenever someone did something stupid.

carrie, I've ridden motorcycles since my 7th grade with only one accident to show for it and i'll admit it was my fault. the volume of your motorcycle doesnt make you safer than any other biker, only you and your actions do.

hi

Yeah i had tume pipes before, but not as loud as some of the crap you can get at the custom harley shops

hi.... wanna go to the townie bar?

what on that lil 600cc u had i remember that bike...
go speed racer go!!!!!!

I don't know why that made me laugh . . . . possibly because the idea of a rice grinder with drag pipes is so . . . I don't know what.

Would sound like running your fingernails across a chalkboard

I think you missed the point. The loud pipes do not make the rider a safer rider, but they do make the people in the cages more aware of your presence.

However, I do know one thing that works even better than loud pipes. I did a custom restore on a '49 panhead, and painted it black and white like a cop bike, and people in cars always noticed me.

i think you missed my point... i was saying that the volume of your bike will not make you any safer from other drivers. in no way would it make anyone a safer rider.

and yes, it sounded like a chainsaw gone wild. but that lil 350cc topped out at 140 mph.

but you are wrong. how many times have you heard "I did not see him"

If they can't see you, perhaps they can at least hear you.

did they throw in a free pocket protector?

In the end, there's NOTHING you can do about bad drivers.. but doing your best to make them aware of you helps.. That's why my motorcycle jacket has a big "GET THE FUCK OFF MY ASS" silk screened on the back, and I wear a white helmet..

I used to work with this guy who was pretty hard of hearing.. I was following him late one night.. and he was going pretty fast on a highway I wasn't familiar with.. he was in a car.. his exact quote was "if I thought I was going to lose you, I'd have slowed down.. btu you were almost a mile away and I heard you with my window slightly cracked".

Loud pipes are definately a safety feature, but safety is a process, not something you can bolt on.. the same as security. My loud revving has stopped MANY women in minivans from killing me.

small penises

In Europe Harleys are gay icons :2 cents:

Really? Haha that's funny.

In Australia, Harley's are associated with motorcycle gangs which implies drugs & guns & fat guys with big beards riding them.

That's a stereotype though, but it's an interesting perspective

Harley's are for pussies and HA. Real men drive Tomahawks.

Yes its true.

Usually out of shape middle-aged gays who have just come out.

You cant move down Old Compton Street for fat old guys in leather chaps, mirror shades and cowboy boots trying to wave and wink at each other while struggling with an ill handling underpowered old tractor at tick-over speed. :glugglug

Hehe Very well said

I'm considering getting one but I don't want any of those guys winking at me.. might go for a Ducati instead :)

Good idea then if you feel that you want a Harley again just keep the Ducati and disable the top three gears. :thumbsup
