Alright, we just built this sucker, a la OCC, now let's fill up the fluids and roll! Primary oil? Check. Tranny oil? Check. Engine oil? Check. Gasoline? Check. Brake Flu- 'Honey! Telephone!' Be right there! I'll come back this afternoon for the maiden voyage... heh heh heh. -HJK
god i'm so sick of the chopper scene. every weekend about a zillion of those loud things with fat stupid sons-a-bitches at the helm roll by the house puking down the street. how can someone actually "like" that sound? :down:
Dude, you should live here, (Milwaukee) official home of Harley. "Louds pipes annoy wives" (except on a racebike)
We have a Harley plant here in Kansas City too. Part of their "freedom" image is to ride around without a helmet, doing the rev dance at stopsigns, and holding it wide open once they get it going to keep it running. The straight pipes might be a trick they use to get the bike to run at all. My neighbor has a Harley and he rode a half an hour before making it out his driveway. I'd rather walk than take a trip like that.
I hear ya. Weird thing is, I don't have anything aganist Harley riders per se. (some of my best friends own Harleys) It's just that "I'm better than you" attitude that some of these guys display. For example: People here can park Harleys on the sidewalk, and no one cares. Park a "rice burner" and they get offended. (you know where the "cool" bars are by the Hogs parked out front. Loud pipes are tolerated on a Harley, but on a Jap bike, that means you must be a troublemaker. Cops have been known to run the plates on Jap bikes, but I've never heard of them doing it on a Harley. Many Harley riders proudly display their ignorance with the ubiquitous "Loud pipes save lives" bumper sticker on their 4 wheeled vehicles. Who cares? Ride what you like, but lose the attitude.
