Noticed lately ,when a Harley boy comes flying by me with no attemp to acknowledge, wave , nod , or whatever, and seems to purposely try to break my left eardrum, my valk wants to accelerate hard. No other brand seems to ignitionate this response in my bike. Now ,Im 58 years old, I don't need or want these games ,realized I had a problem last weekend when what I thought was a Harley turned out to be a boss hoss,  when I got close enough to recognize the shape . what are you guys doing to cure this problem ?

Earplugs.


somethings you just can't beat.

On the other hand, I did see Willow put a little ear split on a Harley Sunday...my attempt to do the same with a Busa did not fare so well. (Did you know those things do 150+??)

and I can feel my wife squeeze tighter to hold on.
Occasionally I'll pull up a stop light and be by a HD and my wife leans up and whispers in my ear, "Just be careful."

Nope, I'm not the fastest thing on the road, and don't care most of the time. But occasionally my bike just wants to run. Sometimes I know it is me, but occasionally I agree the bike speeds up without me twisting the throttle.

LOL, Raymond.  They tucked their heads when I went by with my feet on the highway pegs.  I always make it a point to smile and drop a hand even if they didn't.    angel

That 'Busa, btw, was lookin' for a scrap.  Cheesy
