Well don't blame us when you get a dozen way hot chicks bothering you day and night for all kinds of sleep overs.

Do you have a t-shirt that reads
"Free Mustache Rides" ?

Love my Roadglide with an added amp and upgraded speakers. You will never hear rap come out of the stereo and you will most likely not hear the music either as it's gets turned down in the city or when in traffic.

See my post above, come down to BikeWeek in Daytona, it's not far off,

We'll hang on Main Street, have a cigar and you can see all the Harley's, Indians, with super loud radios and be amazed how these guys get super loud radios into their KawaHondasuzkihama sport bikes .

I really enjoy my Cardo bluetooth helmet system. I can listen to music without being a complete asshole to others, hear gps info, or use as an intercom with a passenger.
As for loud pipes...nothing says "I don't know a thing about motorcycles, I have no skill, a smol pp, and am a poser that thinks I'll be tough if I finance a completely out dated and mechanically inferior yet overpriced pos" than every person I've ever met that owns a Harley.
Get a real bike and keep the noise down!

The OP didn't say music - he said RAP.



I have yet to encounter a Harley blaring anything that I would consider to be good music. It’s about 50/50 awful rap or country they blast out in my neck of the woods.


I laugh because about 2 weeks ago this Harley pulled into the gas station at the pump across from me and it was blaring some awful, awful, awful, country/rap. Now, I’ll admit the sound quality of the system was pretty amazing, how ever the actual music which is not even the right word was terrible.
The fella hopped off the Harley and took his helmet off. Had to be at least 75 years old.
Not at all what I was expecting.

I’d like to create a directional EMP for loud radios…wether they are on motorcycles or in cars, I don’t want to hear your shit.

I rode couple different Harley's for years ... I believed in being loud, being heard, being safe.

Even as an LEO for nearly four decades, I never wrote up a biker for having load pipes for this very reason.

I love my Street Glide. Sounds good, Cobra pipes, not too loud. Stock sound system is just fine. Not too loud. Runs good. Factory suspension could use an upgrade for sure, not too good. My dick is normal size as far as I can tell, not too small. Guess it could be a real bike. Oh, paid off too, bought with hard earned cash.

I remember a BMW motorcycle ad from the early 1960's. It showed a motorcycle on a peaceful country road, and the text said something like, "At 50 mph, the loudest sound is the swish of the tires on the pavement."

Do you suppose when Hardly offers the electric Electra glide ,
Will they offer the load pipes audio?

Turn the volume down in the garage
And crank too thirteen out in the desolation .

Thank you. I was once in a damn positive encounter with a LEO who had a similar attitude towards motorcycles. We ended up talking about bikes for a while. It makes me smile whenever I think about it.

I do wonder if part of the reason I didn’t get a ticket was because of the way I acted. I 100% expected to get a ticket and never asked for them to let me off. It was a hell of a shock when he said “get it fixed” and hopped onto his cruiser and took off.

Rode a Honda vtx 1800 F (big v=twin cruiser) aftermarket Batwing fairing w/stereo also Vance & Hines Big shots (pipes)...Kept the tunes down when in town or heavy traffic.... when cruising the pipes were not much louder than the factory cans but if I twisted on the throttle it did not potato / potato /potato but sounded like a NASCAR on the track taking off on a run ..... Once while out on a ride I stopped at a out of town Harley dealership and after making it about 3 steps inside the main doors a salesman approached me and started to see if I was looking to buy a Harley and when I told him that he did not have anything under the roof of that building that could get me off of my Honda he was not a happy camper. .......................... drill sgt.
