Encounter with obnoxious Jap cruiser
I was coming back into town today after a long ride in the country. I was on one of the six lane main roads that goes through town when I saw this bike coming up behind me. Traffic was pretty heavy, but as soon as the lane to my left cleared he moved over and pulled up beside me. I only glanced over so I'm not sure what he was riding. It was a Jap cruiser with a split pin crank v-twin. It had drag pipes, and sounded like chit. Even firing v-twins should be outlawed, IMO. They sound that bad. Especially when there's a jackass in the saddle who equates LOUD with sounding GOOD. When he got up beside me, he rolled on the throttle and then had to slam on his brakes to keep from running into the car in front of him. His pipes were so loud it actually hurt my ears.
Anyhow, when we got stuck at a red light I was very proud of the nice unobtrusive rumble my Screamin' Eagle muffs were putting out. Mr. "Listen to Me" kept blipping his throttle at the light. I just sat there idling. Of course, when the light turned green, he got on it and really "showed me up." I just rolled on like I normally would, wondering if the people in the cars around me realized it was the Harley rider who was acting like he had some sense.

A few weeks back I was at the local gas station, not on my bike but a dude comes rolling in with a brand new Softail Rocker...not a Jap bike but the point is it is brand new, fuel injected and it ain't gonna die. There is no reason to vroom vroom vroom the throttle but he had to make sure everyone heard his bike. I just thought to myself "what a tool"
