I once wanted a Harley. The name was synonymous with manliness and freedom.
Now I see that they only have the image of manliness, and the owners are people who need to be assured that they are manly.
If I ride again, I’m getting an electric bike.

Harley is synonymous with middle-age accountant weekend warrior.
Manliness lol.
Tiny peen industry.
Meh, this is our life on Enmore Rd in Sydney on Friday and Saturdays nights until the early morning. Not sure if it’s already been designated an entertainment precinct but it’s meant to be. For some reason that attracts people with loud cars and bikes.
I don’t think any zoning laws anywhere in Australia would allow for this on public roads.
Happy to be corrected, but this shit takes it’s toll on everyone else’s wellbeing.
When I lived about 5 km from the city (Melbourne), I’d hear some arsehole (cars, as well as bikes) ripping it down the road at least every 20 minutes, all fucking day.
I do not give a shit what your hobbies are, but they had better not be giving me heart disease…
These fuckers deserve to have their bikes/cars confiscated for putting on illegal mods on the second offence. Not per vehicle, per fucking lifetime.
You get one chance, then you had better start keeping receipts so you never have an illegal mod ever again…
Just a heads up, there is a seven day delay with comments federating between lemmy.world and aussie.zone. You’ll get this reply in a week!
this is one very efficient litmus paper for identifying ass holes

Same with all those stupid crackle tunes. I done see how it is compliant to ADR rules as they prescribe total noise limits ar certain RPM.
FYI: on YouTube links, only the first part of the link is needed. The question mark and everything after it is tracking data that identifies your account. You can delete the question mark and everything after it; your link will still work, but you won’t be feeding them tracking data when we click on it.
Nearly.
There are multiple forms of YouTube links.

Used to ride before arthritis took it. Fuck loud pipes, they don’t help you enough to justify the social burden if they ever help you at all.

I don’t ride either anymore, but it’s not that hard to just cover the horn while you’re around more dicey situations. I loved my CBR500 because it actually sounded like a car horn.
