again - all the talk of load pipes and such - and reving and such

i rev at stop lights - don't red line it or nothing - but i do rev

i think it might be the clutch thing - because i will rev cars with a clutch - hard to do with an automatic in gear - yeh even there put it in neutral - but not very often

why do i rev
- sometimes for the sound
- sometimes playing with another biker
- sometimes to like steady it or something
- most times just to get ready to go, like practicing till i let the clutch out

then when i get home i overrev for awhile in the garage where the echo is good - and call it juvenile, dump, stupid, vindictive, whatever - i do it to aggrevate my neighbors - but believe me - if you met them you would rev too - but that really isn't the point of this post

 

Nope. Too juvenile for me.

 

i have FI so i rarely feel the need to rev it. i like the loping idle of my S&S cams.

 

stop lights
stop signs
hospital lots
nursing homes
schools
deed resticted neighborhoods ( my favorite)
condos
tunnels-overpasses
beaches,weddings,funerals....heck I just rev all the freakin time

why deny anyone the righteous sound of my harley?

 

Revs waste gas and heat up the motor.

 

Total waste of gas and needless wear and tear on the engine. Makes no sense to load your cylinders with gas and wash down the cylinder walls. That creates heat and wear. Senseless and juvenile.

 

No, I grew outta' that stage a long time ago.

 

Trying hard to stop. Habit I got from owning carb bikes, I guess, and I know I don't hafta do it with EFI. I catch myself doing it on downshifting, too.

 

Agreed.

No "revving" at red lites.

 

not at stop lights....But always under a bridge!!!!!!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. My wife always hits me in head when I do that.
