We could all try to save our farts until we see someone smoking at the square. Go upwind of them, let it fly, then watch as they are forced to consume the odor. At least it won't cause cancer.

They only sound "great" to the attention whores riding them.
Harleys have a sound of their own, music to the ears. Next time you see a group riding them go ahead and call them "attention Whores" and see what you turn into lol.

In short, we residents don’t make the rules on the squares.

Why do we allow 0.5% of the population to change the culture ... men in women's sports ... drag queen story hour for kids ... demands by men to use women's locker rooms and rest rooms? It's insane / unnatural / perverted.

What's a little cigar smoke among neighbors who aren't trying to pervert the next generation?

"98% of the people in the villages don't smoke"

When people make up stuff to suit their own needs I completely discount anything else they have to say.

The Current CDC stats are that 11.5% of the people in the US are smokers.
What's next? We can't talk out loud in public next to you. You know I heard 98% of the people in the villages do not talk in public so we should been it.

Loud music can cause hearing loss, certain food aerosols can trigger anaphylactic shock, fumes from gasoline engines can cause severe irritation to those with breathing issues - being out in public involves some risk, such is the cost of living in a free society.
Preach on!

This is what we get for living in a free country. God bless the USA!

[QUOTE=vintageogauge;2342595]Harleys have a sound of their own, music to the ears. Next time you see a group riding them go ahead and call them "attention Whores" and see what you turn into lol.[/

What gives the unique sound of Harleys is the way the engine is designed.

‘’What you are actually hearing is the sound of the compressed gases in the cylinder escaping when the exhaust valve opens. Each pop is the sound of the exhaust valve opening one time, and it happens on every second revolution of the crankshaft.” Google
And to my ears that engine sounds melodic. The rest of the bike is also designed beautifully and with lots of love.

While it is not my favorite bike (I like sports bikes) but to me, the Harley is a thing of beauty.

That is the description of every four stroke engine - a Harley, a Kawasaki, a Ford, a Toro, and a Yamaha golf cart. A Maserati sounds better than a Ford and a Harley sounds better than a Suzuki due to the design of the engine but they are all for stroke engines as described in the google response.

Really? You're sure about that? From all the spelling and grammatical errors I see on these posts, I highly doubt that.
