Why ride where you are getting harrassed, the groups have moved on to areas where they aren't hassled.  Now there are Thursday night rides in many different places throughout the Greater Seattle area and if you ride in Seatlle you just putt, putt through there without getting loud.

The point was we all went a bit out of our way to meet there anyway and now it seems everyone figures  "screw it", why go there when you know it is going to be a hassle.

Hate to say it but there are people that I won't ride with because they are to loud to ride behind in a group.

[highlight]A Message from Jim McCaslin President and CEO of Harley-Davidson [/highlight]

I think we're talking about something a wee bit larger than avoiding a particular town when the CEO of the MoCo issues a statement like this. Time to widen your view a bit Dude and see the whole picture. The times they are a changin  You can change or get left behind  Those are the rules, I don't make em, don't even like em, but rather than expend a lot of energy tilting at windmills, I go with the changes and find a way to keep on keepin on

I have to agree with this. There are a few good friends of mine I will not ride behind. If fact one of my friends that lives in the same neighborhood as I do is one of these. When he rides by in the middle of night, I sometimes feel angry when awakened. Now I like him, love my bikes and I even sometimes find it disturbing. How do you think the young couples that have young children awakened feel. I never thought I'd ever feel this way but I agree, we need to start to at least be cognisent of how it may negitively effect others. I must be getting old as hell!

Oh, Oh.... you know the saying... if it's too loud you're too old.  ;D

Don't get offended... I like my peace & quiet too. Sounds like this could turn into a loud pipes discussion. Consideration for others was a mark on our kindergarten report card wasn't it? It's a life skill for adults. Definitely a time and place for everything and waking up your neighbors with your HOG is only cool at Glencoe at Sturgis and like venues. R-E-S-P-E-C-T ... thank you Aretha!

I also agree that the move is to more sensible exhaust notes.

He just couldn't understand why his neighbors all around him complained, and felt he absolutely had the right, talking about what he could do on his own property.

Why is it that whenever regulations / restrictions are put in place to reduce obnoxious behavior, the people who squeal the loudest are the ones who caused the problem in the first place?

I think we are all in somewhat agreement about this issue. I loved the sound of my 1200 sprty with the Thunder Header, and also the 'Switchblade' (red one) with the V&H Pro pipe, and the SERK with TD and Thunder cones, but as ole BD told us, 'The times they are a changin' and so the new 06 FLTRI has a SE Active PE system, and guess what, It don't sound have bad. Maybe I won't have to wear ear plugs anymore ?
