That's the thing, people riding harley don't want quiet bikes, they want a bike they can feel the engine roar beneath them. There's also the culture around harleys that draws people.
I feel ya, i live across the street from a dude who has a harley, too. its just plain not necessary to have something that loud. Granted the culture of the bikes, and all that, but damn! it kinda sucks when I have to stop the conversation i'm having with someone, or something like that, when he drives by cuz I can't hear anything else but his bike. most irritating thing ever...
lol yeah and a dog named harley? that must be the coolest dog ever! srsly doesn't take more than a semester of sociology to see what south park is saying.
it doesn't take more then a semester of living to know south park actually makes asinine and wrong points constantly obviously just like a person who drives a hybrid car is just trying to be a fuckin yuppie hipster, i mean the amount of money those things costs vs the money that could be saved by just driving less, using public transport and riding a damn bicycle or motorcycle, it makes no sense to buy one unless you're just insecure and want to show off or unless you like them jesus harley riders are among the nicest people i've ever met, or really anyone who was in a stereotypical "biker gang". It's people riding those stupid little zippity bikes that are always arrogant assholes about the fact they ride a motorcycle and want everyone to know, while not even knowing how to be a mechanic on it, while zipping all in and out of traffic. Harley people actually have a culture spread around the country they enjoy being part of (hey, like a lot of hippies here), people on kawaskis just want you to know they're on a really aerodynamic and fast japanese bike. Besides, Harley owners are generally the closest thing i see to hippies in their own way.
i like harleys. let me correct that, i like properly tuned harleys. the assholes that are loud do it on purpose. they actually try to make it as loud as possible (if im not mistaken, its not that great for the bike, so they are annoying assholes, and they risk damaging the ride) if you listen you can tell the difference. out here we seem to have a lot of both asshole riders and good riders. ive actually seen a guy on a harley not wave at asshole riders going in the opposite direction. but yeah, i hate asshole riders too.
This, a normal harley is in fact loud, but it's normal loud doesn't drown out conversation inside a house no one remembers those harleys though
you know how ya see those bikers under bridges and overpasses on the highway during a rainstorm.... we call those aspencade stops...bbad knows what an aspencade is

I had a yamaha once and i loved it. Then a friend let me take his chopper out for a ride. It was the most fun i'd ever had on a bike! I couldn't afford to buy it, so i sold my bike and bought a car. Fuck rice burners! OP i don't know what you can do besides blowing it up, or moving out yourself. Unless you call the cops on him maybe. Flipping him off and yelling won't help. I lived in some apartments where they made a guy walk his bike to the street before starting it because he set off everyone's car alarms. He moved not long after that.
One idea is you can go over and ask him to keep his idling time down to say 10 minutes or so if he really needs to do that for mechanical reasons like a repair trial or oil change. Explain that you realize that you may turn up your music at times and if that is loud you would want him to tell you. If he says fuck off, well, then fuck off but you can know that you have at least tried to resolve your problem in a civil manner. Not every biker is a complete asshole who wants to piss everyone off. There seems to be plenty of assholes but many seem to possess ability to do things like want to get along with their neighbors. Yelling and flicking off may not be the best first step. After you guys are cooking out together and stuff I'm sure he will love to see your middle finger in front of your smile from across the street. Keep in mind that engine sounds as good as The Grateful Dead to him.
You cant even spell crotch right. GTFO. Japanese crotch rockets are pieces of shit. If I were buy a bike It would be a Harley or an Indian. Two American made pieces of art.
yeah, sure, unless you want to use the bike to travel. id like to see you pack survival gear onto a crotch rocket. aka, shut up, your immaturity is showing.
Obviously you can't stereotype all Harley riders as fags, but most of them are. The number one reason most people buy a Harley is so that they can show everyone that they have a Harley, even though noone cares and thinks you're a fag for being so loud. South Park pretty much nailed it. That being said, I think motorcycles are fucking sweet. I want a Yamaha sports bike someday to whip around on.
