seriously you guys seriously, why even respond to something like this?


Skidder... do you really believe that harley makes such a poor product that one high rev (new or not) is going to break it. Lets apply some common sense.
Well you know, I thought what if. Never hurts to ask and if I get a chance to see your bike live, I,ll rev it to the moon, see how you like it.

I love the sound of my bike! She sounds good right about at the revlimiter that prevents the engine from redlining.


So, no problem.

I can,t wait to see the look on your face when I gun it 3 times, really hard, like I mean full throttle on a cold motor.
My HD mechanic told me, never rev the engine cold, always let it warm up and if you start it up ,plan on riding it. Don,t start it for the sake of hearing it. Thanks but I,ll listen to him , not you.

But if I'm honest, I can't think of it without gritting my teeth and clenching my fist.

If it was anybody else...
you would have done the same thing and then came on the forum sayin how if it was anybody else.....

seems like if you had the guts to rev a stranger's bike "to the moon" you would have had the guts to correct your friend about reving yours

I'd simply ask my friend how he'd like it if I felt up his wife.

Too easy to find a fish. All it takes is one small shrimp tucked discretely into one of the A/C ducts.
