No I dont ride. And if I did, I certainly wouldnt have some exhaust that sounds that fucking bad on anything I did ride. Seriously, they sound horrible. HORRIBLE. There is nothing good sounding about 99% of the cruisers I hear on the road.
it's the ass-hat harley owners.

Southpark did a perfect episode on it once.

Of course, most sportbike faggots with stupid loud exhausts do the same shit. And thats just as annoying, except they usually dont sound as bad.

Can I get an 80%????

I guess it's a matter of preference... I feel the same way about the sound of the non V-Twin sport bikes.... While I will agree, a lot of them take it to extremes, I do think they need to be louder than the cars on the road....

There are vtwin engines that sound good, it's just that harleys almost always sound like bad mexican food bowel movements.

Only if it is used in a dangerous manner. I never Hurt anyone one with my truck.

Or a stock car with misaligned headlights. I by NO means are saying 2 wrongs make a right but don't single out my kind you racist

I would say it's not how its driven so much as how high it is. The fact that there are some out there that lift it to their maximum limits is the definition of a dangerous manner, not necessarily how its driven on the streets. The extreme lifts I see around here do not compare to a mack truck, the clearance is the issue. The mack truck will go through you, the lifted truck will go up and over. All it takes is someone not paying attention and rear ending/T-bone a little car (stock) for it to turn bad quickly. Impact ratings go completely out the window when the truck now comes through the top of the impacted vehicle.

I don't hold someone that does a modest lift in the same category, but if all I can see is your differential in the rear view mirror it just may be too fucking tall.
