Definition of hell! Neighbour with a 6am start work time and hearing it start up outside my bedroom window at 5.30 every morning.

What is wrong with some of you people! You don't like something so the cops should automatically do their jobs and stamp out anything that offends you! Well I don't like OP's point of view very much, maybe I should get on to my MP to ban him from speaking. Look, I don't like rotors "barp barp-ing" past me, but its only for 10 seconds so I just suck it up and shut my mouth. Maybe some of you nana's should do the same. I have ridden more than a few poker runs, and I can tell you there is a damn sight more people out there taking photos and waving as we go past, than there is blocking their ears!

People used to wave at the Hero Parade (a few looked like bikers) too but few would want them going past our houses night and day.

I call bollocks (and I ride an R6). In a car you don't even hear loud pipes until they are right beside your window, especially if the car is moving.

Exactly.It's just the type of person who buys Harleys.It's not compulsary to have the loud non-standard pipes, the harley jacket or the harley belt buckle

Im sorry but you obviously have no appreciation of the perfect sound that a straight pipe Harley makes, in fact when I become Prime minister, I will make it purely optional to baffle a Harley or any NON japanese car that has eight cylinders

Not wanting to start a slinging match (each to his own) but you probably should read the NHRA Prostock bike rules. The only Japa??

Ive always had stock pipes, dress pipes and slash cut shot gun straight pipes, for weddings and funerals. Power shifts under road tunnels are greatfor sonic booms. Rolling on the power can sound like an 8.8 cm. antiaircraft cannon. FUN WOW !

I am a motorcyclist. Motorcycles are a minority group. Noisy motorcycles antagonise a large number of people.If we don't sort it out, nature will. The law will act. End of story.

Seems like there are a lot of Harley haters out there, who want to regulate everything. Guess the Greenies have taken over this thread. I agree with earlier postings Take your child to see a bike show and gradually introduce them into a world of chrome, fine steel and different noise notes. A V twin idling or under throttle is music to many peoples ears. May not be your ideal, but your child may enjoy it, at least it should dispell unreasonable fears. This goes for any child. Be nice people it costs nothing.
