The problem with HDs is they are the worst sounding engine in the world. They sound like Nana ****ting the bed again. Which is fine on a farm or a saw mill, or even round town, when muffled. But the loud pipes thing is just an affectation for insecure attention seeking 'bad ass' fat guys who also enjoy dressing up like the Village People.
So much noise, so much posing, so little performance. Its pretty funny.

Exactly THIS.
My bad boy poser buddy, HD "enthusiast", cop by day black leather tough guy by night.
Dropped $21k on a new HD, then sent it to Wisconsin to have it bored, stroked, cam'd, new trans components added, pipes, intake, dyno-tune... Now has well over $30k into a bike that you can find 5 of, outside any given bar.
He thinks it "sounds amazing"but really the bumped CR and cams just made it louder.
He looked like a kid who's goldfish died the first time we rode together and I just trashed it with my old Hypermotard 1100.
