you absolutely should be allowed to own and work on your own car that you can use on a track since private cars should be banned from public roads

lotta real stupid people both here and out in the world who think that loud = fast and also that good sounding = loud and that anything but stock = loud and that louder than stock = intolerable. i have an aftermarket pipe on one of my motorcycles and it is certainly louder than stock. not obnoxiously so, which i am certain of because i've never once seen a person flinch or a dog jump or a kid cover their ears when i ride by. but definitely louder, which is good because its tone is also fan-loving-tastic. i will absolutely kick it down a gear in a tunnel and open it up to hear the snarl build into a roar. love it. Beeftweeter posted:the harleys are the absolute loving worst harleys actually have really good sounding exhausts from the factory. they are throaty and rumbly and balanced and not excessively loud. this makes sense, since h-d prides itself on the ~harley sound~ (they even tried to / maybe successfully trademarked it) but they still have to comply with noise laws. you have never heard a stock harley exhaust, though, because every harley moron KNOWS that the stock exhaust sounds like poo poo and the first thing you do is sawzall tat poo poo off and get a SCREAMIN' EAGLE that makes the bike sound like an elephant having diarrhea in a swimming pool Jonny 290 posted:crossplane engines sound like nothing else on the planet and you can rev one in front of an unfrozen caveman and they'll grunt 'gently caress yeah' ferraris are flat plane Asymmetric POSTer posted:the government should make all cars so there’s only one model to service and make spare parts for, bing bong so simple agreed. the aftermarket for this car would be unbelievable

I don't think anyone would argue that Harleys are, on balance, good products or even should exist anymore, and hopefully with the extinction of the boomers Harleys will finally go away. Their entire "innovation" is, instead of having the crankshaft be driven by pistons on opposite sides, both pistons driving it on the same side. But doesn't this make no sense and require that you have to overbuild the entire thing because you've got an unbalanced engine? Yes. Yes exactly. This is where their loving "sound" comes from and it's because the entire design is wrong and bad. They literally said "but wait a minute, why use an engine where the forces all line up with each other to maximize efficiency, when you can do the exact opposite instead?" It's 100% a triumph of marketing and idiocy over everything else.

i don't really care for loud cars, but i enjoy watching sideshows, but those are an impromptu community event so i think they're fine whenever even if they're illegal, but i'm not going to complain about cars with loud exhausts since i buy and shoot off illegal fireworks late at night throughout the year. oh it's 1:30am and now your dog's barking? sorry pal, that explosion in the sky was cool as poo poo.

They could have at any point just made this again  Literally a bike they invented to compete with triumph and BSA that “the kids” were riding in the 50s. Fast forward 60 years and that same design becomes en vogue again hmm what should be do? Sell electra glides to boomers forever duh

Yes I know sportsters still exist but the ergonomics are all entry level cruiser, or those dumb drag bars with giant tires, or basically anything other than: flat seat, neutral bars and pegs, fun colors, lower price
