Dam silly me.... I forgot to drag ghey Norwiegian Boat captians into this thread. Did I miss anyone besides Lesbian exwives of Canadian Hockey Players or the Rag heads that are too into Cartoons?

Nothing better than a man made religion made for man.

Hate motorcycles... no need for the noise and alot of the time they purposefully modify them to make them louder.

Get some jello and put it in her gas tank... one rude behavior deserves another.

I've got a 62 Panhead....after 5 min TOPs, it's warmed up---the new bikes all use that girly multi-weight oil anyway

I feel ya pain SG, but dang bud that`s just pure, beautifull music. Sweet sweet music.

Nothing sounds sweeter on this earth than the sound of an open exhaust V twin. Just think ...some rapper dude could have moved in over there instaed of this hunka hunka Harley sweetie.

A few years back, during bike week at Sturgis, we met a young guy and his girlfriend from Germany who had flew into Denver, leased an HD there and rode on into paradise.......errr I mean Sturgis. We were camped at our usual spot in Southside, real close to the Interstate off ramp. The first afternoon that they arrived, they came into camp and I asked him what he thought about the thousands and thousands of Harleys. As we were talking there was a steady stream of scoots continuously backed up on the off ramp heading to downtown. He said that he loved the Harley he had leased. It was hiis first time on one. He then said that the only thing that bothered him about Sturgis and where we were camped was that he was afraid that him and his lady friend wouldn`t be able to get any sleep due to all the noise. I told him not to worry, people were just really getting started arriving at Sturgis and soon all the Harleys would drown out the noise. He said he just couldn`t understand why most everyone had replaced the factory exhaust with louder ones.
The next morning the couple had coffee with us and left on the scooter for a day of sight seeing. I was really getting getting a kick out of these folks. Kids in paradise. Man they were dressed to the nines. Looked like they were headed to church or something. Around four that afternoon we had returned to camp to kick back and have a cool one. I casualy noticed a scooter weaving through the tents down to our section. The guy was shirtless with a new pair of 17 inchers worn outside of his jeans and he had white guaze and tape on his upper left arm. A sure sign of a spankin new tat. As they got a little closer I was beginning to get tunnel vision and was unable to see anything but the passenger of this scoot. Black knee highs, low cut jeans and a real imagination teaser for a top. It then sort of dawned on me that this was the couple from Germany. Anka was her name............uggghhh nevermind.

Anywho.........after he opened him a cool one and showed me his new tat. I asked him......"Well, what do you think after your first day at Sturgis". Man he was so excited he started in a non-stop banter till I had to stop him and remind him I only spoke Texican.

When he finaly came back down to earth, guess what he asked me? He wanted to know if there was a way to make the lease bike "not so quiet". Not so quiet it became in short order. I`m sure the Harley folks in Denver were pleased to get the free customization on it`s return.

That loud noise has saved my butt on numerous occasions from those brain dead idiots in their 4 tired tin boxes.

Ride and you will become a better driver of your tin box.

In kalifornia the noise laws start at 0600

With new girly harleys.... they have electric starters and freindly carbs... you need to have a strong finger to push the button and it needs to warm up about 10-20 sec at which point you can either burn rubber out of the drive way or putt out at about 1800 rpm to spare the rest of the people.

When I rode.. you kicked the bike and it had pretty much straight pipes... you kicked it round a couple of times with the key off and then bumped it round on compression... key on... one good push through with about an eighth of a throttle and it would fire.

Women... and womenly men of course just couldn't do it. You didn't have a (LOL) windsheild or full plastic fairing or even a front fender so it was never (if you could help it) that cold and.... you didn't work so it was never early in the morning unless it was between midnight and 0300. I could make the damn bike be pretty quiet too if I wanted or I could make every car rear view mirror fall out of adjustment.

But.... They wanted accountants and women to ride so....

You make such a big deal out of machoness lazs...its almost like you are trying to cover something up.

Relax, everyone here realises you are a manly man. You don't have to sound like a broken record about it.

Odds are that she's had the exhaust modified but hasn't re-jetted her carb yet. That could make for unusualy long warm up times.

Maybe you could just ask her if this is the case and suggest to her that it's not good for a bike to run so lean that it takes an unusualy long time to warm up. Then tell her that once it's re-jetted she'll be able to start it with very little choke if any at all and the bike will be ready to ride within a minute or two after starting.

If she's in love with her Harly, this approach may be more effective than complaining to her about the duration of the noise.

KEY......on/off?????? You had all them fancy extras .

My routine.....................s mall hidden inline toggle on...or off, just according to how ya look at it, main toggle up, Buck or Zippo behind the Hunt, (Those cable advance sliders don`t look cool. Too untidy)

run er to the top , kick er to life. Learned pretty quick that the Zippo or Buck was not to be forgotten. It`s really hard to maintain with beads of sweat the size of golf balls running off your forehead like water and your knee somewhere pointing behind ya.

What big deal Shirley?? You just don`t speak the language. No big deal about it. It`s just the way we lived...........and some still do. It`s sort of a self respect or setting the boundaries you will stop at. It`s way obvious nowadays that that a lot of the Yups on plastic think you can buy their coolness or the feeling you get when you are actualy one of the "real" folks who derive pleasure from making a scoot "yours" and know it inside out/top to bottom. A check book or plastic card, a trip down to the "dress shop" where you acquire your electric start, plastic enhanced, chrome trimmed windshield, dayglow painted, YUPmobole on two wheels don`t cut it for old schoolers. No pride, no accomplishment.........well hell.....not a clue in genral. Throw in a couple of grand for the designer jackets with all the "in" name tags.....................inst ant Marlon for a day..or an hour..... till next weekend down at the yacht club with Biff and Buff. Ya know the ones. The same ones who after parking their half mil motorhomes and unloading the glitter ride will not make eye contact with the uncooth old biker types riding into Daytona or Sturgis or this months Hog roast or run on his purring, sreamlined "got the mine" look , personal pride scoot that he just rode in on from BF Eygpt or someplace similar. If they would put down their martinis long enough and get their nads back from their Gucci wive`s purse long enough to to check them nasty old ruffians and their hand, made from the soul , machines they just might learn something. Something like..you don`t buy that much satisfaction and pride with a plastic card and it don`t come in a designer labeled bottle marked "instant". Not to mention that they are passing up the opportunity to get to know about the history, workmanship and just downright some of the best folks on the planet as a whole when the chips are down. Bout the only opportunity they will have to even communicate with these folks is when their Mercedes is sitting on the side of the road, dead in the water. The same ole nasty, uncooth ruffian will be the one who stops to help ya out in a lot of cases while their people cruise by under their AC and look the other way.
It`s sort of like your statement..you and them don`t speak the language, but you think you can get in the conversation long enough to show your on the "rent a nad of the month club.". Well.........keep the faith buckaroo. You can always save face by grabbing the check book and running down to Boyd Codingtons and have him build ya a Instarod. That`ll show them old macho guys like Laz dog gone it.
