That's always fun. I would occasionally run my RK without baffles and would always laugh at the car alarms and looks of pure terror from some people when cranking her up.

Thats always fun. One time I did that in a parking lot and turns out the cars on both sides of my bike had alarms. Ended up setting them both off .

My bike has never set any alarms off, even when we drove around in a parking garage. And my bike is loud. But I wasn't trying to.

My V&H pipes along with a cam job set off the alarm on my neighbors Toyota every morning. Luckily we are friends and just laugh about it

I would have shut the bike off for a couple minutes (just long enough for him to get back to his lunch), started it back up, and did it again. Nothing makes me happier than annoying people who don't care for bikes.

Happens every day at school, it gives me a grin. My mustang does the same thing, some times I question why people have such sensitive car alarms, much less an alarm period since no one every pays attention to them.

My sporty used to do it a ton with the first generation Screaming Eagle slip ons. Great tone to those things with an Evo engine.

My VH slip ons do it sometimes, with the EFI but less. More deep than loud. Dig their tone too.
