Was in SF this weekend for fleet week. Sat down at Pier 23 to grab a bite to eat during lunch. I couldn't even hold a conversation with more than two sentences before being interrupted by a Harley-Davidson and their 180+db's of exhaust... It's bad enough that they are loud, but at EVERY FUCKING STOPLIGHT, they have to rev their shit like there's no tomorrow. It's annoying as fuck!
What's the big deal about these bikes? Now, I'm not a HD expert, but after doing a little bit of research, these bikes are poorly built, heavy, bulky, overpriced and don't even have a lot of power.. they make loud noises (to make up for their lack of penis size?) and have chrome on them. Most who ride them are squids that wear little to no protective gear at all..
I don't get it.. to me, when I ride, I do it to my own satisfaction. I ride because it feels good to ride, not because I want attention and/or it LOOKS "cool" and "badass". I respect my machine, and in turn, it respects me. I wear ATGATT because I know the consequences..
By no means is this a stereotype, but you have to admit that like 99.99% of all HD riders fall into this category..
When I have exhaust on my supersport bikes, I get pulled over because it's "too loud".. when HD's have 10x the decibels that my bikes produce at partial throttle... they are in the clear...
