First, don't believe what you read on a shirt. ( good rule of life, actually!)

One of the things I always hated was when my friends would start up and take off and I would either have to wait for the thing to warm up or be popping like hell until the thing warmed up.

Yet we have numerous threads about getting fuel injected bikes popping

There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Pick your poison.

I think a real Harley is single cylinder. They screwed it up in 1909 when they went to this fancy V-twin crap.

For the record I have one with a carb and one without.

I currently own both but I'm partial to the carb for some reason.

Carb guy myself. Got a 06' Honda with a fancy EFI thing. Oh wait, it's a carb too. I like carbs.

Personally, carbs are like old-school foot pedals VS these new fancy programable monster boards for guitars. Just look what auto-tune did to country music!
