I say ban quiet pipes on all HD's. What the heck.....

 

That would leave more space on the road for those of us that care about riding and not image.

 

Send your old lady over here to find out...when she don't come back you can come up with a different theory.

 

Going to drop her into the pit in your basement?

 

shhhh! who told you about the pit?

 

I'm with you! Loud means nothing if it doesn't contribute to performance.

This reminds me of an article I read about Dyson vacuums. The ones supplied to the US are designed to sound louder because Americans equate noise with performance.

 

It's true. The gals that are loud in bed perform better and are much more enjoyable than the ones that just lay there....

 

Yup, some throat is good but touring any length of time with an exhaust that makes you deaf is not enjoying your ride. An interesting thread would be a poll to see the amount of miles between 'loud' exhausts and the tamer throat variety. My metric I traded in for my RK exhaust was loud and I 'had' to wear ear plugs if I was going any distance.

 

There seems to be a number of people that feel loud pipes makes them more of a man, and those that own a H-D and think that makes them a man. Loud pipes, stock pipes...helmet, no helmet, gloves, chaps, black HD tees. Who the hell cares except for people that feel the need to show their internet manly man and look for someone to agree with them. Sooner or later they will find each other and share a koolaid on the porch and complain about all these things.

 

interesting comments from someone with a cartoon karate fight for an avatar. Oh and don't think I didn't notice that USN in your sig sailor boy.
