Hey, get up and live what little life you have left. Enjoy the strong sound of powerful machines. Harley bikes have a unique sound of their own. It's interesting to be able to pick a Harley sound out of other motorcycle sounds. Kind of like being able to tell the difference between an M-16 and an AK-47 at night in combat. Some of us can even tell the difference between a Triumph and a rice burner motorcycle sound. Not much of a talent, but I take my super powers seriously.......   |
There is a guy in our neighborhood that owns a Harley and it is a bit loud but he doesn't get on the throttle when leaving his house. Yeah, I can still hear it inside the house but he is gone in less than 10 seconds so the noise is very short lived. I've owned a couple bikes over the years, an obnoxiously loud Norton 750 Commando and a Suzuki 1500 which had a very mellow sound. I have known guys that wear earplugs because their exhaust is so loud. Not for me, I want to be able to hear the screeching tires of the car that is about to run into me.
I really loved that Norton. I would ride it all week to work and would have to spend the weekend tightening up bolts and screws, adjusting the ignition timing and carburetors. Definitely a love hate relationship with English bikes.
