Motorcycles Blaring Music

Had a Harley keeping pace with me at every red light and had to hear his music blaring . The sound system was probably a few grand and with it being a Harley it must compete with the loud exhaust . Doesnt it make more sense to just use some ear buds or are you just trying to get attention ?

you know the difference between a Harley and a Hoover Vacuum.

the position of the dirtbag.


hate dislike pollution of all kinds. I don't listen to music very often and when I do it is in the sanctity of my own home where I don't have competing noises cancelling desirous noise out.
 
Agreed. Them and the mustangs with no mufflers that sound like garbage.
You left out the MoPars and pickups.

We walk the dogs in an open area near an on ramp and for some reason some Mustangs are the loudest of anything that gets on it hard getting up to speed. What are they doing to make them so loud? Trucks not even close.
 
Blasting 80’s hair bands over their obnoxious exhaust. Thank god they disappear for the winter and don’t return to the roads until it’s 80 and sunny here in the PNW.

It could be a regional thing.
Those Cummins powered Rams get pretty loud.

It's almost always Mustangs that want to race when I'm on one of our Sportbikes. Just yesterday it was the owner of an insanely loud Mustang, who wanted to race my all-stock '23 Hayabusa. I left him in the dust, just so I didn't have to listen to him.

Sterotype much? We could trop out the similar but slightly more vulgar BMW joke...

just so you know, since you didn't know or it sailed over your head, self deprecation is a form of humor.
that or are sensitive and self righteous..

this a selfie I took a long time ago on the banks of the Missouri River SW of Pierre.
I'd sooner push a Harley than ride a BMW. :)

I don't know if you ride or not, but if you do, you should make a trip to the Sturgis, SD bike rally a bucket list item. I rode there last summer with 20 other guys. It's all about seeing how much noise they can make. Out there, it's all straight pipes, and loud, blaring stereos...

yep, seems like a rule for Moco riders, if sitting at idle they have to blip the throttle.. :)

or pose in front of the Big Guns.

The number of guys with hot cars who don't have a clue how much faster bikes are is astounding...

you ever seen that issue of Car and Driver where they were doing a bunch of zero to 150 to zero tests with bunch of fast cars and they asked their sister publication Cycle World to bring a crotch rocket of their choice..

end result was whatever crotch rocket CW broght could get to 150 and back to zero before any of the cars could get to 150.

Even today, the Plaid is about the only regular production car that can compete with a crotchrocket...
 
I always find high-speed police chase dashcam videos involving Harley motorcycles amusing. That's the wrong bike to try to get away from the cops in.
I just watched one of those the other day...the guy on the HD was going flat out, and the cop was right on his tail. After the cops stopped him, you could hear the guy saying "you guys aren't supposed to chase me"...I hope he enjoys his jail stay...

most Harleys will only go a little more than 100.
at a certain point nothing overcomes the wind resistance.

the older bikes nowhere near that.
my 95 Electra Gide with the EVO engine would barely top 90 with atail wind.
