LOL, you know buying a Harley instantly makes you an outlaw badazz.
Very true! Back when the harley explosion started I saw people I've known all my life buy one. From normal to bada$$ overnight. After they buy the bike, they have to buy the costume that goes with it too. LOL, yep! ALL the leather, grow a goatee, get the "live to ride" license plates and decals for the daily driver. I just wish they'd figure out a way to fix the throttle cables on those things. They must stick and bind up if you don't constantly rev them up? I never considered a sticky throttle cable, always thought that harley carbs didn't have an idle circuit. I live in a rural area, but the road in front of my house is one of the main roads in the county. There is an intersection just over 1/8 mile from me, it a shortcut to another main road. Almost every harley rider that comes by that's going to turn pulls the clutch and starts jacking the throttle off at about my house. The guys that have to stop at the intersection coming out on my road do the same thing, then come out wide open running through the gears. The appear to be going about 50 or so when they come by.  It must be a harley thing, because the guys riding crotch rockets don't do it. No idle circuit Could be! Always think of that saying....Harley Davidson. The most efficient way to convert gasoline into noise without the side effect of horsepower.
