I hate Harley Davidsons

[bme30]

Yeah, the bastard that lives across the street from me is going to wake up to some form of retaliation ....

Something like wd40 on his tires?
Have you ever seen a bike slip and slide at 2mph not knowing a couple drops of diesel oil on the ground?

^ What about taking an unmounted Harley engine with no exhaust, strapping a fuel cell to it, locking the throttle open, and firing it up and throwing it through his window? Good luck getting that thing stopped. It would be like a grown-up version of these suckers:

Yeah, the bastard that lives across the street from me is going to wake up to some form of retaliation in the next week or two.

The fucker starts his bike up, warms it up outside for 5 mins while reving it up, then will haul ass down the neighborhood street at 7am. It doesn't bother me because I'm already at work, but I'm sick of the asshole waking up my wife and everyone else in the neighborhood.


Remove Speed3 exhaust and proceed to do an emergency brake helped burnout in his driveway?

[b*saint]

This totally, what makes the pricks on crotchrockets any better? 90mph down the freeway doing retarded stunts, whitelining and cutting everyone off, I find this to be much worse than some guy blipping the throttle because he loves the sound of his bike imo.

Read "Into the Wind" or "Easyrider." A real Harley "lifestyle" is a giant VD party.

It's probably safer to say that the dudes that ride with loud a$$ pipes and rev it to only be annoying are the problem here. I know several hardcore riders that respect others and the nicest guys. I dislike the noise with a passion. This goes for all bikers like that.

What trips me out is that I have seen several riders drive by with ear plugs in. :/

I ride with ear plugs in because sustained winds on the highway will make you go deaf. Especially in a well vented full face helmet which directs wind over over ears.

I take it you dont ride motorcycles. People don't see you for shit. Soccer moms pull up to stop signs, take a quick glance, and pull out right infront of you while youre going 55. Loud pipes help you get noticed.

"LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES"
Alright, so does wearing a helmet, and no im not talking about that penis-with-a-spike thing that is part of some riders' costume. Another thing that saves lives is wearing something other than a completely black outfit while riding a dark colored/mostly black bike.


^Best of luck maneuvering around a "cager" with that setup.

Living in Milwaukee, I had the opportunity to take an internship with Harley Davidson. Everyone thought I was nuts for turning it down. I just could not work somewhere as an engineer where engines are designed out of balance on purpose.



Both connecting rods on the same crank arm, running on the same combustion cycle (ignition for both cylinders at the same time)


For those who have never heard the joke: Difference between a Harley and a Hoover? The position of the dirtbag.

I really dont have a problem with other responsible motorcyclists that just want to enjoy their two-wheeler, , im sure there is nothing else like getting on your bike and going for a ride, but the culture is retarded, the bike design is retarded, and I only wish that I could get away with having a car that loud and always accelerating from 0-50 full throttle. I sincerely appreciate a Harley/Harley owner that has quiet stock pipes. A few times in my Toyota I have been stopped at a light where one or more Harley's were revving for no reason. I bounced the Toyota off the limiter for a bit, I got some great reactions :P

I have a 2001 Victory V92C, and its the loudest stock bike I've ever heard straight from the factory. I honestly get dirty looks sometimes just accelerating normally from a stop sign in town..

Your neighbor may be a douche, but not every harley or cruiser rider is one..

^^^ PMSL

BJ and FatPhos, I understand the loud pipes save lives mentality and i can tolerate ANY loud bike apart from Harleys.

Actually that is not entirely true because I love some of the Buells but im sure you know what we mean by the excessively loud Harleys that just sound like shit. I love loud things but alot of them are stupidly loud and its not a nice noise.

One almost gave my grandmother a heart attack one day when one went down the inside lane in traffic at full noise. Nothing and then "graaaaafuckenlistentomeimabadwaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles unt unt unt unt"

Added to that, as b*saint has said, the riding style of at least half make me fkn wild.
Cutting you off, changing lanes like you aren't there, the belief of owning the road because "graaaaafuckenlistentomeimabadwaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles unt unt unt unt"

Im just laughing here thinking about how many MINUTES I would get away with driving my E30 around at the sound level of the average Harley.

Despite my hate for them, I know a few Harley riders who are great people but I have no problem giving them twice the shit they give me about the E30 :p

There are some quotable gems in this thread

And I get it that not all HD riders are pricks. The guy directly across the street from me has a HD and I never hear him come and go...

[b*saint]

I hate loud Harleys. I do however enjoy watching Sons Of Anarchy.

Ha me too.

Dude I was going to start this thread two days ago, but decided not to because I'd thought I'd get a cool story bro reply. When I was taking my car out for a test drive after fixing the muffler, I met the guy who sold my car to the girl I bought it from. So we were talking at the light and he was asking me what kind of work I have done to it. The light goes green and the assholes behind me rev up their "harley worth its." The guy and I both take off normal pace and they floor it past us weaving in traffic, which is a lot of noise and not a lot of go. Like an 325e without an exhaust. The next light goes yellow and not to look like dick they try to run it but the 2nd rider isn't going to make it so he weaves in between two cars slowing down at different rates and almost gets sandwiched.

I ride a crotch rocket with a lot of crazy kids, but harley riders take the cake for worst riders overall. They drink and ride the most, ride the loudest lawnmower engines ever late at night through neighborhoods, and the "hardest" looking ones look like they are from the Village People.

loud pipes help you get noticed by soccer moms

[fatphos]

i hate them too. Loud pipes save lives. Bs
