Do all the HC guys read lips when they aren't reading email?
There are a very limited number of people who are actually capable of improving on stock, as evidenced by the myriad of posts here trying to correct the ailments brought on by customizers, stylizers, economizers, fad chasers, and others desperate to be included in any kind of circle jerk, just to be in touch with others embroiled in the flail as much as they might wish to be.
What kind of glorified "skill" is there to taking a hacksaw to a set of pipes (after carefully measuring, of course
), except to attract some attention into their otherwise mundane and irrelevant existence?
Doesn't every two year old learn quickly that if he makes noise, he gets attention? It becomes a way of life for some.
Certainly one gets faster attention with high noise levels than learning/understanding how carburetors and exhaust systems actually work. Is social status really more important than self improvement?
While it certainly doesn't have to be stock to work well, real improvements are quite seldom as easy as some simple movement with a hacksaw or Jama's caveman club.
Is the facade of improvement more important than realized improvement? Far more often than not, a return to stock is far more improvement to the machine than the majority of fashion modifications.
it's actually not THAT loud.
What BS! Space shuttles and jack hammers are louder. You gonna compete with those for attention, too? This the very reason why laws had to be made requiring silenced vehicles.
I'm not inclined to help people break laws on the internet or in person. I guess HondaChopper's people are different that way. Anything ok for personal gratification?
I've tried to help a lot of people on this forum. Some successfully, but sometimes...
