Default Why so "LOUD" ????????

Folks,
What is the real reason behind wanting them EXTREMELY LOUD pipes, Yesterday I was at a Court hearing "part of my job" and when I was getting into my truck a guy was putting by and then he wristed his 2003 Fat Boy right beside me I damn near PISSED my pants ! Hell he could have shattered the windows 4 blocks away, Ok whats the deal ? I like the rumble of a HARLEY as everyone does ,but this was no rumble it was down right Loud And Obnoxious ! like having some one screaming in your ear, I love listening to JOHNY CASH but turn it up where I begin to say WOW ! Thats just to damn LOUD ! The joy is gone < Anyone else feel like this ?

Hey, I resemble that !

Could be the guy was suffering from rectal cranial inversion or he thought
you were someone else. Is your truck marked with signs? Did you cut him off
some other time?

I accept it is wrong and makes the citizens hate us, but it sure if fun!
I once rode under a rail bridge and let loose. I damn near pissed my pants
with the roar. Felt sorry for some poor guy walking under there as well.
Kids!!

Loud pipes in traffic pay off though!

Later
