loudness

 
Ok, so most of my bikes have been loud, some really loud, and now that
I'm apparently a geezer, I've lost interest in setting off car alarms
and switched from SEs to stock mufflers.  Although it's nice not
having to worry about being pulled over for excessive noise, be able
to listen to the radio, and be able to take longer trips without
earplugs, here's still part of me that likes turning heads when I rap
the throttle.  So I've got a product idea.

Do you live in an area where the cops get medieval on riders with
straight pipes?  Do you want to go with an open exhaust but the old
lady won't let you?  Does your state not allow modifications?  Have we
got a product for you.  New from Poseur Research, producers of the One
Piece Chrome Engine and Frame Cover and the Show Chromed Solid Billet
Faux Saddlebags, comes the Loud Harly CD.  Just slap it in the CD
player, turn up the sound system and you can pretend that you're a
one-percenter without modifying your bike.

Meticulously handcrafted in our professional studio, high fidelity
recordings of real Harleys gives you the rumble and ear-splitting
blatt that you've been hungering for.

Sample tracks:

- Thunderous idle
- Accelerating through the gears
- The same as above, with the indescribable racket of missing 3rd
- Roaring down the highway
- Hard throttle coming out of a turn
- Making a lot of noise in the bar parking lot
- Hard deceleration, including realistic backfire and carb farts
- Mantovani and his orchestra playing "Will you remember"

Just work the track selector in sequence with your driving patterns,
and you too will sound like you drilled out your mufflers.
(Experienced drivers will learn to avoid the Mantovani track.) Imagine
the cops surprise when you pass a sound test!  Easily turn off the
racket when you want, or switch to cheesey orchestra music when your
old lady is on the back.

In stock now for $19.95.  No COD.

Not for Gold Wings!  That would be silly.

I really like the sound of the stock FXR exhaust. You just have to be willi=
