With sincere apologies to those who adeptly ride H-Ds or cruisers...yes, I realize this is stereotyping, but there is a certain contingent of riders who perpetuate this image.  Mea culpa....

Just saw this on ADVR.  Has all the makings for a catastrophe of epic proportions.  I'm guessing they'll also set the record for the most number of wrecks and Medivac flights on the same day!!!  My advice?  Get there early and bring a lawn chair.  Make sure you're sitting on the inside of the curve...

The good news is that all of the other great riding roads in the area will be free from HDs on that afternoon, so it is a win-win.

until all the rumbling and shaking causes the loose rock in the surrounding area to break away and cover the roads.

That would really suck to show up unaware expecting to do some riding.  Clogging up the works as usual only worse.

I get it. It would be a cool thing to do for the Harley riders who love their parades. But for the rest of us you have ruined a day at the Dragon.

Ah, I keep forgetting that Harley owners are required to rev the bikes every time the clutch is pulled.   So the $10 per bike must include landslide repairs AND oil cleanup....now the price is making more sense

So... sometimes you sound better than your motorcycle does?  ;-)

 

Nope. The 1000rr with the full yoshimura system always sounds better. The Kaw is stealthy quiet. A guy I work with has shorty straight pipes on his fat boy & man that Thing is agriculturally obnoxious. Please tell me you don't have straight pipes on your road king.

Nope, mine's bone stock...  probably the quietest Harley in Ohio.  Not real fond of straight pipes myself, but I do prefer the throaty sound of a good HD to the higher pitch of most sport bikes.  

Differences make the world fun!

Nothing sounds better than a triple. :)
