9/7/2003: Sea of Harleys
There were a bunch of images this week of the bikers in Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson's 100th anniversary. This was the best I saw: this pack is in parking lots preparing for their parade of 10,000 motorcycles.

That's about $250,000,000......plus another $100,000 for helmets.

Boy, that's a shit load of Harley's. I'd hate to be there when those things take off since I almost go deaf when one passes me on the road. Kinda like an F-14 doing a fly by at 100 ft altitude.

WooHoo, and they'll be here in York later this month for the Annual Openhouse 
I'll be prepared to fight the urge to buy one Sorta!

Boy would I ever hate to be the one who accidentally dropped my bike at the end and caused a domino effect. Run like crazy.
xoxoxoBruce Sunday Sep 7 07:05 PM
No problem Leah. It's just a bunch of middle age farts pretending to be marlon Brando. They'd never catch you.
Leah Sunday Sep 7 07:07 PM
How funny would that be then. They would probably have their walking sticks out ready to swing a hit at me. Good on them.

Now Arz, that's not nice.(giggle) Actually over the last dozen or so years they've gotten pretty reliable. I think it was the Jap electrics as well as the Evo motor that did that. They hardly leak oil any more too.

Originally posted by gossard187 A couple F-14's flew real low over my house today, scared the heck out of my cat who was sitting in the open window at the time. Guess he doesn't see that too often. Fortunately the vertical blinds appear to still be intact. |
I do a lot of environmental work on several military bases and I've almost dropped dead from a heart attack on more than one occasion from the fly-by's and such. I think March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, CA is the worst though. No matter how many times you hear them and you know their coming, your heart (and ears) literally hurt when they take off or fly by really low. Lucky you have vertical blinds, horizontal ones might not have fared so welldynaryder Tuesday Sep 9 09:26 AM
LUVBUGZ: go to Rolling Thunder(the Run to the Wall) in Wash DC some Memorial Day. We average about 100-120k bikes each year. The north parking lot at the Pentagon usually gets filled and it takes about 4hrs for everyone to get downtown. The sound is indescribable.
arz: 15.3k miles on my Twin Cam Dyna,8k of which was after I hopped it up over 100hp. Zero mechanical probs,no oil leakage. The Twin Cam motor is as reliable as anything from the land of the rising sun.

Bruce: Vance & Hines Pro-Pipe. Sounds good,but a touch loud. I tend to mind the neighbors and take it easy on the throttle,even if they can't returm the favor with their car stereos and alarms. :-P

Just tell them to wear helmets.

Originally posted by OnyxCougar I lived a stone's throw from March AFB in Riverside, Norton AFB in San Bernardino, RAFs Lakenheath, Alconbury and Mildenhall in England, and Nellis AFB in Vegas. I once heard the noise described as "The Sound of Freedom". It made it somewhat easier to bear. And I got used to it. When I moved farther from the base in Vegas, I was kind of edgy at first, and I didn't know why....then I realized I wasn't hearing the jets. I'm a recovering jet-wash addict, I guess.... |
