For those of you bashing loud Harley's......some of you probably think all V-twins are Harley's. Well, they're not. There's loud V-twin Honda Shadow's, Suzuki Intruders, etc., that look like a Harley from a distance or from behind. Let's just bash loud motorcycles. Lets have the police ignore all the loud Viper's, loud muscle cars, loud Mustang GT's and loud '09 Mustang Cobras, loud '10 Camaro's w/Flowmasters, and yes, ignore loud Cobr@'s replicas. Let them get all the loud motorcycles rounded up and taken care of........once they've got all of them, who do you think they'll come after next??? Uhhhhh, let me guess!!

Same with guns! They (the anti's) want to conquer and divide. Someone with a Civil war collection (just an example) may not identify with someone who legally collects Class 3 full auto's, and doesn't get involved "because it doesn't affect me". Look at England and Australia and wake up!

Yes, my Harley is loud, but they're not straight pipes. That adversely affects performance except WOT. And, I don't rev it at red lights. That's building unnecessary heat with no air flow across the air cooled engine when you are sitting still. I don't flaunt it with my neighbors, I try to idle out of the 'hood.

To me, we all need to stick together, whether on 2 wheels or 4. There shouldn't be any Chevy vs. Ford or Harley vs. Honda, or THEY will win. If we, as gearhead enthusiasts, 2 cyl, 4 cyl, or 8 cyl, don't stick together, we will all lose in the end.
