Am I the only person that likes to listen to my bike when I'm riding? (Granted, I ride a Harley that sounds better than the typical 'japper', but that's another argument altogether.) I really question people that want to block out the bikes noise, (and 'foam-rubber ear plugs? Jeeez!). If I were unable to hear the bike, how would I know if things weren't quite right, that something needed to be adjusted, or that something was about to give? And don't try to hand me the line that only Harleys break down! I've stopped for broken down jappers as often as for broken Harleys! Is it the bikes noise, or the wind noise that annoys people? (If either bothered me, I would drive my car more often!) Just wondering.... - Marty Walsh - Senior systems analyst City University of New York 'I eat my road kil'
