I hate Harley Davidsons

[N2MYE30]

I think that there is a decibel law here too but like other laws, they get broken too or not inforced.

[redsubdivisions]

As with every group/scene, you will have the douchebags and posers. I know countless crotch rockets and cruisers that have complete idiots operating them, but there are the people who ride for the sport and enjoyability of it, not for the image. Unfortunately, it is ridiculously easy to obtain a motorcycle endorsement in the US which makes it easier for people who shouldn't be riding.

In Edmonton, Canada it's actually illegal to ride with loud pipes. They have to be under 92dB or you get a pretty big fine!

[Vince30]

I know for a fact that loud pipes save lives.

I don't doubt this at all. I have a really quiet pipe on my bike because there are less annoying ways to make yourself noticed. I wear a bright red helmet when I ride and will adjust lane position to be more visible to cars that might potentially pull out in front of me.

I know for a fact that loud pipes save lives. Doesnt matter what you ride, if you're that guy revving your bike at the stop light, weaving in and out of traffic, stunting, or other general ass-hattery....you're a poser. My bike is loud as shit. Knowing that, i show respect for those around me. I warm my bike up for a few minutes, revving while warming up is retarded, and quiet as i can, leave my neighborhood. I dont ride my bike so you think i'm cool, i ride my bike because I enjoy it.

I can care less if they want to rev their pipes all the time...

[b*saint]

Hey I just came off a ban!

[Vince30]

which is a lot of noise and not a lot of go. Like an 325e without an exhaust.

This is so true. Some times I just can't help racing harleys off the light. Even my dad tells me kill storys of him beating harleys with his completely stock 1979 suzuki gs850. But its not just harleys I will admit, I went to a weekly local car meet the other night and it was the first warm night of the year so there was a ton of bikes. I swear me and my friend I rode with were the only ones who had baffles in our bikes still. But I think harleys are completely over priced and I don't know why anyone would spend that kind of money on such a poorly put together piece of machinery. I hate harleys more than anything else on the road.

But bsaint: 2600 posts and you still don't multiquote? Ban

[dirty30]

Can we hate people who wear tapout clothing instead? seems easier.

We'll get to the "crotch rocket" crowd in a minute.

[Ryann]

the culture is retarded, the bike design is retarded

This.

[VicSkimmr]

I dont' mind the harley guys at all :shrug: It's even bike week right now and I manage to enjoy it. As long as they aren't being complete retards and endangering themselves and everyone around them I don't mind them at all.

I don't see them as any different than your typical asshole e30 driver with a ridiculous exhaust.

[z31maniac]

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?

No, but I do what it's like to wad up your R6 at the track!

[joshh]

Harley is just a name. Over priced and more noise than go.

[bimmerboy08]

im surprised that only one person has brought up the fact that crotch rockets are just as annoying for different reasons. I know there are responsible people who own them, but there are also plenty of people who are alarmingly dangerous and aggressive on them while riding on public roads. You know, the dudes in t-shirts and jorts going 100+...I think they're called "squids".

but as far as harleys go, there is a bridge next to my apartment that for whatever reason they feel the need to open it up on, so now that it's warm every five minutes or so I hear the "woppitywoppityBAAAAAAAHHbopbopbop". I hate it.
