“Upside of the HD going electric is that needless noise their bikes put out will finally come to an end.”

Loud pipes save lives.

I don’t ride anymore, but that phrase is 100% true.

Agree. About fifteen years ago, I almost got run over by a silent EV in a residential street setting.

Some noise will save lives.

Indian is Polaris. Polaris is American made in Minnesota and Iowa. You’re good!
I’m an HD man myself. Of course I’ve also got a Kaw and a Yamaha. Had a Honda at 1 point too.

You have to pay extra for the speaker and playback device. Of course, this will reduce the electric charge and range the rider can travel, but it will sound as cool as hell!

Sveresky P 35:

Lockheed Martin F 35:

I suppose one could argue the difference is between the P and F prefix.

Point is that every number has been used once before and is going around again. The P-35 wasn’t a major player in aircraft history hence it’s reuse. You won’t see an F-38, 47, or 51.

I think that naming hurricanes took a cue from that. You will never see another Grace or Katrina again.

When USAF established in 1947, the P was exchanged for F. So henceforth still active P 51’s, P 47’s, P 80’s etc became F’s. I always refer to them as P’s because that’s what I grew up knowing them as.😀

The noise is at least half the experience, maybe more.

I think I’ll skip the RV, and bring a tent.
Seen this?

Steve Lehto on Youtube made “DONT BUY AN RV” video 8 years ago which ahs now million of views. He followed it with 2 MORE VIDEOS. 2015, 2019 and 2022.

One of my GOP buds runs an used car dealership in L.A and he sold RV’s before. They are mostly lemons and if you dont know how to fix them, dont buy one.

Thanks for the YT video. No, I’m not buying one. I’d rather pitch a small tent.

Like I said, my bud on my circle runs a used car dealershoip. He knows RV’s. There are just too many moving parts in there that will cripple the entire syetem. MOST are cheaply made.

Where can you find an actual moving vehicle where there are NO LEMON LAWS? Cars, yes. RV’s NO. Amazing aint it?

Meaning you cant sue RV’s for defective parts.
