How I loathe the Harley sound-I really pray this company tanks. It’s a plague of brutal noise pollution and air pollution in some of the most beautiful areas here in Canada. . At 90-100 dB, they destroy hearing pretty efficiently too. Packs of mid-life crisis hubbies riding their HELOC Harleys have destroyed every scenic country road every summer weekend here. We have a cabin 5 miles offshore in Georgian Bay and we can still hear them. God knows what the mainland cottages experience when a pack of 50 of them go by. It’s really one of the great mysteries why some folks seem incapable of having a good time without bad music and modified exhausts and not giving a crap who they disturb.
Ditto.
Never understood and never will why a motor vehicle with four wheels legally require mufflers and cats while 2 wheel vehicles can run a straight pipe 2 1/2 to 3 feet long producing ear piercing noise.
Personally can never ride a loud bike. Its not pleasant and certainly rude and inconsiderate.
Yeah, I have the dubious pleasure of living near an intersection on a major road favored by touring cruisers (read Harleys) in the summer. Forget opening the windows for some fresh air if you want to be able to hear the TV or radio.
