Oh really? Harleys, too huh? Get a life. You should feel priveledged to hear the sweet sound of American iron rumble through your neighborhood. It sounds like FREEDOM!

I have a life. The only reason Harley's have loud pipes is that the riders have personality problems. Even Harley riders can't stand the loud pipes, they wear EARPLUGS! Either that or they are already deaf.

Harley was one of the first manufacturers to have a decent muffler for motorcycles.

It was likely left behind by one of the many jihadist groups now training in the USA and Canada. There was one group in Washington State.Another one in upstate New York, Islamberg.

The miitary did not likely drop it, these things are COUNTED
repeatedly if removed from arsenal.

The serial numbers will tell the tale.But will we ever know? Unlikely.

My bet is that it was stolen from a US military installation, but it is strange to be found near a Canadian Naval base.Another jihadi training run? THe Canadian Navy has no use for these, I doubt there are any on the base.

Looks like just the tube without the 66mm rocket.

Yeah, I hate it when I find rocket launchers on the side of the road...

Maybe Bruce Cockburn finally got his rocket launcher.

Could also come in quite handy at 3:00 in the morning when some inconsiderate bozo drives his boom-car, crap music a-thumping, thru the neighbourhood ...

Yeah, it's like the really rude effin' terrorists that launch mortars and rockets at our bases at 3:00 a.m. or thereabouts and we have to drag out of bed and hang out in a bomb shelter.

At least the stupid terrorists could launch stuff at a reasonable hour like 8:00 p.m. I mean, is that asking too much?

About the most useful thing I find by the side of the road are wheel weights. Harumph!

Did he extend the tube or did he find it that way? That baby is armed and ready to go!

I wouldn’t call it a rocket grenade. It has a shape charge for blasting through armor.

And in training you’re supposed to announce “back blast area clear”, not “black blast area clear” as I did, to hoots of laughter from my black drill sergeant....
