sighted:klr on brp near roanoke...

Thanks. Actually, Supertrapp sounds like the way I want to go too. Never suggested I wanted my bike as loud as possible. As far as open pipes go I'm against that level of noise myself. But I'm not going to start labeling my Harley brethren, nor anyone else who does not leave the exhaust absolutely bone stock, in one general stroke as inconsiderate degenerates as some of these guys seem to want to do. I am also very careful not to gun it when riding back to my house in a residential neighborhood...and that's with the stock exhaust. I really only take exception when people start flaming without having any idea who they are talking to. Some guys seem to hear "louder exhaust" and get up on the soap box immediately without a second thought...meanwhile running a trapp or whatever else themselves. Just worry about your own lives until someone does something to bother you for God sakes. Some of you are hissed before there is anything to be hissed about. And if you don't like my defending myself, don't provoke me. I'm not the one picking fights here. -Bill
