Had they left out comparison to only ONE other manufactuer I'd been OK with them describing thier boring seminar rally , but the cheapshot made me sign up & post a comment on there.



Just more proof of the pussification of the american rider!Bad enough Harley's come with mufflers as quiet as a darn honda , LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES! Maybe that why these "winger" folks have to wear all that safety stuff . Besides any self respecting biker knows what honda really stands for . Hop On Nothing Dumb A**

Nobody saw the second line in that article?

1st line: "...didn't exactly roar into..."

2nd line: "It made more of a purring sound."

That's funny!!

Yep. Thats exactly where they went with that article.

First, I don't think you can compare 400 bikes to 200,000 or however many the Spring Rally drew. There are probably 400 bikes there on any given weekend in the summer. And second, they are doing the same thing as the Spring Rally is doing this year, holding it in the county not in the city limits.

From the article:
"Nearly 400 touring-bike enthusiasts are gathered at Springmaid Resort, which is technically in Horry County, not the city"
