I'm waiting for Harley to bring out a coal-rolling bike. Loud pipes, obnoxious black cloud of soot particles, that'll really sell!

Purposely loud Harleys are the two wheel equivalent of giant, lifted trucks... compensation for inadequate "manhood".

this is why I never walk or ride my bike anywhere near a road without a fucking air horn blasting constantly. I also like to shriek at the top of my lungs when I'm walking in the hallways at work. you know, for safety.

This made me laugh. I have to go walk down the hall right now and do this very thing.

I ride a Honda (1100). It sounds like a Honda. It's transportation, not a lifestyle. I do go for rides with friends, so riding is also recreational. Loud bikes don't bother me, but it ain't my thing.

Totally get that. Honda touring bikes seem way more practical, and don't have that sharp and excessively loud sound that Harleys make. There is something sharp about the motor sound that is especially grating. And yes, the sport bikes that are revving way to high not to be on a closed track make sharp, annoying noise too. I don't mind it at closed tracks. Be it sport bike noise, fart tube ricer noise, or my favorite, a nice Italian exhaust note. But that is because they are in the right place. Not in downtown Hailey by the farmer's market and public library, etc.

Fwiw, lane splitting or filtering is actually safer for the motorcyclist than sitting in a line of cars and reduces overall congestion. I know it pisses off people sitting in cars to see bikes moving past while they are stationary

I don't have a problem with that. Keep it moving. Because they can go and I can't in my car doesn't bug me. Nor with using both lanes on an exit or entrance to a freeway by motorists, though some drivers get pissed off if you don't "wait in line". Hey, those lanes are there because the engineers designed for them to be used!

the problem with that sentiment is that the loud harley's are not being ridden by anyone under 40 years old.

you're right...lemme fix that

"... Its main appeal would seem to be to those lawless over 40 juveniles who may well be inspired to go out and emulate the characters portrayed."
 
The creators of this video are the very same that elected Hillary Clinton President. Oh, but wait... Gosh, the little bitch seeps out of so many these days. It's awesome to know that by just riding my motorcycle down the road I'm telling so many to fuck off.
