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.

S&S is a company in the USA that makes aftermarket higher-performance engines that fit Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Stock HD's are not that loud. They get loud when new owners put on loud pipes.

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