I got a kick this past Sunday. I saw an older gentleman at a store, taking off all of his costume. He of course had the leather chaps, vest, bandanna, skull cap, shades, and the most important part of all, his ear plugs!!!!

I asked him how annoying those pipes actually are and his reply was "HUH??" I asked him why he had to wear ear plugs if the pipes weren't annoyingly loud and he told me he just liked the peace and quite they gave him................ I just laughed and walked away.

JIMBO83, I don't really appreciate it when I open a PM and some guy calls me a toolbag because I made a post, I don't care if it is about your precious HD's. I speak from experience, I have had a HD,it was a POS! It stayed in the shop more than it ever dreamed of being on the road. When it cost me more to have it worked on than to buy it, it went down the road.

You guys really take the cake, getting PO'd at someone for saying something about the guys that build your bike!!

In my post, I only pointed out the guy was dressed for riding, and only had to put ear plugs in his ears just so he could possibly hear anything after his ride. If you don't like that, I sure do hate it for you, but I think it is crazy to have to put anything in your ear to block sound when your very life may depend on the hearing you and your bike are blocking by using ear plugs.

I think most folks will agree that American companies play a huge role in cutting their own throats when it comes to today's economy just as each and every one of us as well. I can't afford to pay 20 something thousand to have a bike, don't blame a guy who can, but I certainly cannot. When the auto companies as well bike companies overcharge for labor as well as parts, they have to overcharge for the product and that is what is at our basic problem in America, pure GREED.

LOL, thanks for letting me know JIMBO
