Default Oh what a night.

well tonight i was coming home from work following this guy that i work with that claims his fatboy harley could wax my car and of course i always told him i beg to differ,but anyways im following him and i cruise up beside at about 55mph and signal him to go, so he drops it down a gear and hammers it so i hammer it, well needless to say at 115mph he was about 4 lengths back. he exited after that,it will be interesting to see his reaction tomorrow at work well i cruise down the highway a little more and come up on 2 mustangs. 1 is a mabe 90 model and other is a 08 still has the paper tag LOL!
well there messin with each other when i get on the 5.0's tail, he speeds up a little and moves over a lane so we are 3 wide, T/A,5.0,08gt. well the 5.0 guy asks me if i want some i said give me all you got. so he 3 honks from about 50mph and we all take off. well me and the 08 pull away from the 5.0 boy and as im pulling on the 08, i look over and he gives me the bird, so smile and give a friendly wave out the t-top and hold it to about 130mph and saw the 08 about 3 cars back. he flew past me when i let off and i exited. well that was my adventure for the night.

Yeah, it's all noise and no go for 99% of the Harleys out there. And the ones that do go probably can't hook up anyways. If I just wanted to cruise, I guess a Harley is the way to go, but to me being ridiculously loud but slow like a good deal of them is very comparable to ricers throwing a wing and fart can on their cars but still being slow. I mean, a little rumble from a Harley is one thing, but some of them make you go deaf just cruising by you and yet they pose absolutely no threat to my 3,500 pound car that's not half as loud.

The big twins can run low 13s if launched hard but the mph sucks.

The loud exhaust (with intake and tune) picks up more hp than the fartcans on the ricers. The other benefit is the safety aspect. Loud pipes do save lives.
