Re: Discuss: Favorite motorcycle sound?
I know nothing about Harleys except the are generally big, very big.
Is there such a thing as an SS engine?
Ah just found this and even at my age this is more up my street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y04Q0BSN4NY
I just don't get the feet forward and the arms hanging in the air riding style. Mind you I haven't tried it so I'm prepared to be surprised and like it.

Blues, That was brilliant.
Now you know what we mean about Harleys and tractors?
I wonder how well a Harley would keep rhythm.
On the subject of Harleys I still have this wonderful image in my mind of Cal Rayborn sweeping round the left hander onto the start/finish at Mallory Park in 1972

I know its a right hander but it is a good image. Thanks to the Autosport forum for the picture.
