Dudes.. I am SO sorry that your flacid weenie doesn’t prop up your sense of manhood… but sweet mother of pop tarts… don’t buy one of those LOUD-ASS motorcycles to compensate! Please?!? Sure, they look shit-hot but they have to be THE most annoying thing on our streets. You wanna a cycle? Great… fill yer boots… but ride your way-too-loud bike someplace else. How about not circling the same 4 blocks trying to look cool? (and yes… dumb twit girls own them too… sorry about your piss-poor manners too ladies).

Yikes..That would bother me
You know once,about 15yrs ago,I had a hole in my cars exhaust and it sounded just like a Harley…I got pulled over, got a ticket, and was forced to get it fixed???
YOU are the most annoying sound on the street. please fuck off out of the city.
Ask Ken Reashor at HRM how come they can’t do anything about loud bike exhaust systems while at the same time they will ticket truck and bus operators who use a “jake” brake in certain parts of the city.
Yeah, let the bikers disrupt everyone around them with the obscene noise yet fine buses and trucks using a legal, OEM piece of engine equipment. A bit ass backwards ain’t it?
I think there should be a new tag for bitches that involved overcompensating for small penises.
Suck my harley’s exhaust pipe. They sell em we by em and drive em. Deal with it
Summer motorcycle bitches get so boring after a while. Loud noise, small dick, fuck you, harleys are hot…
Yes Harleys are hot but not when they shake the windows at the top of an apartment building on a downtown city street.
The “they sell it so we use it” excuse doesn’t cut it. We were all born with a mouth and can get arrested under the noise bylaw for using it too loudly, stereo systems are legal and the noise bylaw can clamp down on that racket and we can buy noisy car mufflers at Canadian Tire and get ticketed for being noisy so why not obnoxious sounding bike exhaust?
Enjoy your noisy pipes when out in the boonies but there is no reason to sit at a red light with the biker cranking the throttle nor is there any need to be waking up everyone who lives on city streets. Some of us might actually enjoy being able to hear the people on our patios and balconies.
There’s a reason the Harley Davidson is the ride of choice for rebels of society and THIS is exactly it.
BTW voice_of_reason, those of us who fled to the “boonies” to avoid obnoxious city bullshit are deeply offended by very little invading our peace. Keep ’em.
Sure you don’t want em Kay? I mean there must be a racetrack or gravel pit where they could rev their engines all night long.
I love Harleys! I love my harley boots and my harley helmet. Deal with it!
Ok, I’m getting kind of sick of the motorbike/dick size comparisons. I don’t fucking blame a guy that buys a motorcycle; they’re fun as hell. Loud as hell, I’ll admit, but they’re a great time. I however prefer my road bike.
Tim, it’s time for “Another Motorcycle Bitch” banner.
Apparently there is hope on the horizon. The Federal government is looking into passing anti-noise legislation that will make these moronic idiots use a REAL muffler on their toys. Gee, do you think they will actually be able to drive them without registering 50 Decibals?!?!
No Kay, they are not rebels in any sense of the word.
They are soccer dads who buy cookie cutter bikes, off the rack “genuine” Harley apparel (made in Indonesia BTW). They then load them on trailers, and tow them behind their class “A” motorhomes all the way to Sturgis and back. They gave up on the “made in America rant” ever since folks discovered that their “100% American Iron” was …well partially American made. The headlight assemblies, wiring harnesses, carbs, pegs ands stuff are made in Japan. Oh well, I’ve heard the Japs make some ok stuff.
And before you get all up in my face about “its a Harley thing you wouldn’t understand”, ya, I would. My subscription to Easyriders ran out years ago… bro….just about the time I sold my last Harley. It was fun riding with a bunch of guys who built custom bikes in the garage. Now, everyone and their cousin has one, they are no longer cool, just loud and everywhere..like fucking ATVs. I paid my share of tickets for loud pipes…and they were NOT straight pipes. Cops used to carry DB meters and nail us every time they saw us…different time and place.
I guess Halifax cops are more tolerant..or under manned and over tasked. The latest rash of Harley love is on the skids again (check kijiji Harleys for sale)…perhaps a quieter time is ahead? …and Bobby33 you are confused, we WISH they were 50db ;~) 60-70 db is the level of normal conversation…now 120 db at full rev..now that’s what folks are bitching about. And If I hear one more wannabe bad ass tell me about how “loud pipes save lives” I will fucking lose it. They do not..now dual Fiamm airhorns? Oh ya baby!
End of rant…off to quietly ride the countryside….shhhhh.
oh, that’s right… that guy touting all the leathers and patches and colors isn’t any kind of rebel. Nope, he’s a soccer Dad. Yup, that’s it. I can tell by the pile of kids on the back of his bike.. whatever… Rebels can be soccer dads and accountants too.
And the one-off who doesn’t tout any colors… he’s like a 60 year old driving the Ferarri he can finally afford… did someone say mid-life crisis? They’re nothing but trouble too.
Isn’t the whole idea of such autonomy on the highway, “live free or die,” the very essence of rebellion? Come on brick.
Kay..colours are..ah never mind
…autonomy? are you kidding? In groups of two or three hundred? I did not own, build or ride Harleys to be “autonomous” I did so because the other options were British (sketchy electronics…ya I owned one of those too eventualy), or early Japanese models which ironicly cost too much back then. Combined, all three of my Harleys’ cost less than a 2009 Sporster.
So let get this right…when I ride my Harleys’ I’m a rebel…when I derive the same pleasure riding a differntly badged motorcycle am I still a “rebel”?
Instead of Harley Davidson is says BMW…that makes me a what? a two wheeled Nazi? ;~)

Live free or die? you are kidding..right? You are aware that is the official state motto for New Hampshire? Hands up for the live free part? Anyone? Ferris?
brick, “In groups of two or three hundred?”
This has got mid-life crisis written all over it… by a rebel without a cause.
Get out much Kay? Ever heard of Sturgis? Any Idea how many thousands of Harelys show up there every summer? en masse? nah..didn’t think so. Midlife crisis? Buying a Harley when you are 22 relates to..mid..life? Rebel without a cause? I loved the movie! It’s only downfall, is that it did not have any motorcycles or motorcycle related stuff in it..still good though 🙂 Now “The wild ones” now there was so me good old fashioned “biker” misbehavin’ fun..ahhh Brando, but again, sadly, No Harleys’ as most bikers rode Triumphs or BSA’s back then…still a great movie, loosely based on fact..Hollister was the town.
Mid life crises are frowned upon way too much. Heck, you work half your life, you deserve to treat yourself with a nice little present; I take no issue with that. Except if you buy hookers…
