And WE'RE Squids???


I don't fargin' get it: A lot of Harley riders call us squids simply because of the fact that we ride 'rice rockets'. Doesn't matter what, just as long as they have a Japanese name on the tank....

Yet how many times to you hear one of those loud, obnoxious pieces of shit go screaming by your home, office, etc., with those damn open pipes BLARING away? Or even when they're sitting in traffic. How many fuckin' times to I gotta hear how high they can rev their bikes before they hit the damn rev limiter?

I think the funniest thing is their resolve to get around helmet laws, or not wear them at all. Ever notice the different head garb they'll wear, even in the coldest weather? Or rain? Anything but a helmet....

When I left my home this morning at 6:00 AM, it was 25 degrees out. I followed one such idiot for the length of 393 & three exits down on 93. Helmet? Yeah, right!! He had a neoprene half-face and a leather bomber hat!

Just thought I'd share that.....

Should not take that long to hit that 3500 RPM limit.

Yeah, no shit, eh? But have you ever heard those cows bouncing off the rev limiter??

Actually, USUALLY it's not THAT bad. But all they do is sit there and BRAP...BRAP....BRAP the damn throttle. They drive me fuckin' nuts AND they sound like shit!!

That's because he's being egged on by the guy on the other V-twin that you can barely hear!!

Seriously, man. Do you think we could get away with running straight pipes?
