When I pull into the parking structure in the morning at the end of my ride to work and I can hear the literal roar of my bike inside there. It's seriously ominous and it just growls. I love that sound!

I share the same feeling.
IN addition, my three friends have sports bikes, Kawi 250R, and 2 Gsxr 600s, and when i pull up to them, I get this manly feeling when I here my loud deep cobra slashdowns compared to their little whiney weedwackers. Maybe I love my bike too much? ![]()

Yep... cruisers sound like "thunder", crotch rockets "lightning". Thunder definitely moves the soul more than lightning!!!

I was gonna say that.. jerk.
I laugh (inside) at my friend's R6 with an aftermarket exhaust.. it's loud but sounds like a big sewing machine. I don't think I can ever own anything but a V-Twin. I just love the sound too much.

I have a friend that is not happy till he sets off car alarms, not just one, but many. It's music to his ears.

Last weekend I pulled Baby into the parking garage of the Arlington Hotel here in Hot Springs, parked it by the back wall. First time I've been there on a bike. As I came in, the valet parking attendants gave me a thumbs up, and I couldn't help but rev it a little... even with my stock pipes, it sounded great! They grinned and waved me on back... Parked behind a beautiful red/black Honda Valkerie... Honda GL1500 Valkerie F6 Data The next morning, the Valkerie was gone, but I was surrounded by about ten Goldwings and one Harley. There was a note tucked into my seat..."Nice bike" I haven't stopped grinning since Don't know who left it.... the attendants, or another biker brother/sister... Even with stock pipes, this Baby sounds good |

I have the stock pipes on my bike too and the parking garage is the only place where I can really hear that gloriously thunderous rumble. I'm willing to bet that I could just ride around in there for an hour or two and have a blast at slow speeds as long as I can hear it. ![]()

Here's another tidbit... I was carrying my bags into the hotel, and the guy who was In Charge of Parking... told me.. "we got ya.. don't worry about it" I had two saddle bags, the Ultra tour bag from Kuryakyn and a plastic bag with a six-pack of Corona, a big black helmet, and they didn't blink This is a good hotel. Old school. Small room. No internet access. Come anyway. Be intimate with your Best-Other, |
