Number One reason people hate harley riders.

Really? Most people fawn all over my bike and love to talk to me about it. The only 'hate' came from a black guy on a Japanese bike. I waved at him and he gave me one of those 'dis' looks. In fact, in my experience, the crotch rocket riders are more elitist than the hog riders. Don't get me started on the 'fart mufflers' the 'tuners' put on their Japanese cars, talk about annoying!!

No more annoying to most people than very loud pipes on a cruiser. You're part of the problem, by the sound of it, so you have no right to complain about other people's annoying noise makers. Actually, you have a lot in common with those guys - putting a loud exhaust on an underpowered vehicle that produce no significant gain in power.

I have a problem with that also. They sound awful. I love to hear a nice sounding engine but those tuners! OTOH, a harley backfiring into open pipes as it gears down for the stop sign near my house is also bad.

I was visiting the 'Old Town' section of town one weekend and the noise from the harleys was actually painful.
