Razors Edge ★ Posted January 9 Share #5 Posted January 9 I do wonder about the bike graphic. Looks like a crotch rocket, which seem to have the shriller exhaust note, versus the loud rumbly pipes of something like a Harley. Both are loud, I guess, but I usually only hear my middle aged Harley folks use the loud pipes reasoning. I will say, the way many motorcyclists drive, loud exhausts have helped them stay alive while driving like maniacs/azzclowns. I appreciate the warning out on the roads, but dislike them in the 'hood. Do they make tees with different bikes? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Harley Riders have never ridden before buying their steel stallion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already had years of riding experience so I thought I was the best rider/street racer around...boy was I wrong. I see crotch rocket riders doing stupid maneuvers like splitting lanes, driving 2 and 3 times the speed limit. The midlife crisis Harley rider I see lack of understanding how a motorcycle operates. There's a lot of riders out there that don't know how a motorcycle turns...they think that you just lean your body. Hint you don't just lean there's more involved than that or how your front brakes vs rear brakes work in a turn. Staying out of blind spots, being aware of what traffic is doing around you and assuming that car making that left turn doesn't see you. That alone will save your ass more than a annoying exhaust system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they ALL had a blast on them but were likely a cause of a great deal of consternation for those around them. My sister's best friend - Dave K - was riding his motorcycle (early Honda Hurricane) home on a twisty dark road late at night. He wrecked - hard. They found him a while later, all beat up. He survived, but multiple broken bones and a long recovery followed. He's fine now (as far as I know). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
