There is no cruiser better than a Harley. However, I respect your right to be wrong. ;) ;)

No cruiser better than a Harley? I assume that you are speaking from experience, right? If so, please tell me what you find wanting with a Gold Wing, or that 6-cylinder beast that whispers by...
Some guy posted that after changing to louder pipes, an hour was all he could take before he was ready to kick his own dog to death; no wonder bikers are so mean! My hatred for Harleys really has to do with a hundred or so of them go by my house making far too much noise: if one made that much noise in front of their houses, they would take seconds to be on the phone to the cops. The final insult is to see a decal on a bike stating, "loud pipes save lives". What a load of PR BS!! Trying to justify their pointless din, knowing full well that lights, lots of lights, is what people notice FIRST; the noise is only present AFTER the bike has gone by. It's like pleading in an assault case "his face hit my fist"... |

Havn't been revved at at the light, but I do get ricer bullied (cut off real close, almost getting clipped) from time to time when I have my flip down monitor down for my kid in the back. Then again, I do see that happen to other drivers. So it could just a Chicago thing. Lot of drama on the road. Lot of ambulance chasers too.

2007 FLHTC Electra Glide Classic. I don't have anything to compare it to as I've never had any other bike...don't need to really. Stock pipes, by the way.

I had a Harley last year. It's gone now (thankfully).
But my Ducati is a lot louder than any Harley I've ever heard, and I love it. |

I don't mind the noise of the Harleys, but the looks are just wrong. The Duc is a real bike, but suffers (on this island) from the unique noise made by the desmodromic valves. Too easy to identify at midnight when doing 100+ out to the lighthouse (long, mostly straight road). Poor guy has a long list of tickets.
