"Harley riders make noise for another reason....Loud Pipes Saves Lives. "

Yes, yes. So does defensive riding, the method I've always used. The real slogan is "Loud Pipes Make Noise." Or "Loud Pipes Annoy Idiots."

Every Harley is delivered from the factory with mufflers that quiet them to tolerable levels.

Because of the California laws. After market pipes may be louder, but they help the engine breathe better and give more horsepower.

You have no idea how many times I've had a car
begin to make a idiotic lane change or pull
in front of me on my Harley to which a good
crack of the throttle woke up the moron!!
