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.

In the proper context, (ie: the racetrack), nothing beats the sound of an F1 at full throttle zooming by.
Would I want to hear that noise as I am still sleeping in my bedroom when my neighbor fires up his F1 racer? Or his souped up Civic? Or Harley? Or crotch rocket?
No.
It has been posted before - but that unnecessary 'blip - blip - blip' of the throttle at a stoplight is just worthless. If you are afraid your bike will stall, get your throttle and carbs adjusted. Going vroom - vroom - vroom every 10 seconds cried out to me "I am an attention whore." Get over yourself. You are not impressing anybody by your ability to twist your wrist.
