Yup.
It's just like the "liberals" who really aren't "liberal" at all.

[must be why HD riders are mostly "conservatives"]..;))

Didn't Harley actually patent their sound?
Or try to, after everybody [and their dog] tried to imitate it?

Yes they tried to patent their sound but if I remember correctly they couldn't. The inturn patented the head angles etc on them. Those patents ran out quite some time back though which is they companies like zippers, merch, s&s and so forth started building motors. You can even buy panhead and knuckleheads that are modern now. It's a pretty sweet deal.
