oh pleeeeeeeeze.... dont get me going, I was only in third gear....and yup got a couple more up my sleeve

Yep, and I had about 8000rpm up mine

@#$^%&*&....the bits had already fallen off at that stage....not that it made any difference whatsoever....prob more important to have all the bits intact on your old beast

16 years old and nuthins fallen off it yet

break down....why would that happen?

Who makes the engine again?...

I'M GONNA TELL M ON YOU!!!!!

No need. She keeps an eye on me- pops in here to see what I'm doing :spudwave: M honey!

No need. She keeps an eye on me- pops in here to see what I'm doing :spudwave: M honey!

...and I can SEE that that would be a full-time job too!

ooooooo I SAW that! .....and yes I could hear it over mine, most of the time. altho just barely as ya was behind me a fair bit

Get the new Micron system we've just fitted to the XB12SS, you won't hear anything else.
Don't even need a horn, 2000 rpm does the trick.

Depends how loud it is, and too many 'piped' Harleys are just excessively and objectionably loud. When it's quiet at night or in the early morning, the only traffic noise I can hear is the sound of drag pipe-equipped HDs on the Harbour Bridge and motorway, which must be at least 3 or 4 km away. That means they're louder than any trucks, bOi RacR cars, other bikes or any other traffic.

I guess too it's a bit subjective, but I prefer the sound of 90 degree V-twins (or V4s) anyway. Although I like vegetables, Potato-Potato isn't part of my preferred diet.

What I have to add to this is simple
LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES.
There, take that! lol
Seriously though, at least if they can hear you they might
start looking for you, instead of just claiming "I never saw him" after they have flattened you.
Just a foot note, deep thunder pipes do carry over quite a distance, just like a good voice!
