He's a passive tanker.

Why would anyone want to pretend to have a "macho man's HD" that most HD owners make as noisy as possible?!   Is there anything good or desirable about a Harley that only serves to confirm what everyone is thinking about the rider?

You mean like " Man I wished I could have a Harley? Those who can't afford something make ways to offend those who can.

I want a Harley Hog.  Just like the original hog, "Johnny".

No, not like that, at all.   I was making an observation, if you chose to be offended by it, that is your problem.

Not sure who you're referring to with that remark but, just to cover all the bases in case you're using lame rhyming slang to say that I'm a "w___ker", don't forget that old adage, "it takes one to know one".   Could you clarify, perhaps?

[transam]

Perhaps many forget how loud bikes were from factory when they were kids, perhaps they forget their  Morris 1000 "bark"too...????  

[Orinoco]

Op it's all about lack of length and girth of member coupled with 

size of void space in the cranium. 

This also includes  some big bike riders in Thailand.

but could also be an age thing for them as well.

I know.   I didn't use any slang term, some other poster did that, I just responded to his, possible, personal attack on me.

Your not a bike person are you. ????

I'm 74 ride my supersport bike and I feel 44 again riding it and it sounds sweet,  passed the exhaust noise inspection last week. 

I ask the guy is the noise level high, he said yes but you can make it noiser if want to. ????

Fair call, it's nice where I live lots of quiet road and highways at certain times of the day. 

Make it a pleasure for me to ride out and feel good.

I asked the ford dealer where my stock rear bumper was at , I don't like the aftermarket bumpers front and rear they stuck on .  they said cars ( truck ).  are not sold with a bumper. 

Yeah XL and XL+Ranger dont come with a rear bumper... need to buy a more up spec model to get that.

 

All the pickup makers do the same.

His referring to different type HD sound I think.

Harley's are allowed up to 99 decibels in Thailand.

I wear earplugs because the wind noise on long rides is a bit much. You can't have good ventilation and low wind flow.

I bought the most well vented helmet I could find for riding here.

Only one I have worn that does not make my scalp wet when riding.

Earplugs a must - but the pipes are still audible - that deep rumble only available on HD's

Personally i don't like loud exhausts or tail tidys ....

In 10/20 years loud motorbikes will be thought of as smoking around children and driving without a seatbelt.

 

The majority will be wondering "why on earth did we tolerate that?"
