Figured this would be a little something different for Harley loving GD

















I finished up the new audio system in my Harley Road Glide. The stock system sucked and was lost at any speed above 60mph. So I bought and installed a full Arc Audio system. Arc Audio Moto 600.4 Amp, 602 6 1/2" speakers up front, and 692 6x9" speakers in the Hogtunes saddlebag lids.











I made a couple videos for a build thread I have over on a Harley forum. The internal Gopro mic isn't the greatest at picking up the clarity of the audio.

There is a new guy who moved in near me and to "warm up" his bike he starts it and immediately revs the thing damn near to the red line. Leaves it there for a few seconds, backs it off then repeats. That poor engine.

Loud pipes might not save his life

I once said that there is nothing more obnoxious than a Harley Davidson.  I was wrong; you've successfully raised the bar.

The best thing ever is to go up in the national forest like the Great Smokies and all day long you hear Hardly Ableson motorcycles with loud pipes and speakers .The OP wants to hear his music but he wants to share like a Ricer with a fart can or a Brodozer or a Box Caprice with a system on 26's all are cut from the same cloth.

What's more annoying than a guy on an obnoxiously loud bike constantly blipping his throttle while stopped?

A guy on an obnoxiously loud bike with an equally obnoxiously loud sound system, blaring it while stopped.

Fags.

I could give two shits on what you want or don't want. I'm happy listening to some tunes on my bike on the highway. Plus at highway speeds you won't hear shit in your Prius anyway.

I'm almost sure the Harley guys are why they quit having the gathering on the grounds car and bike cruise at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. They'd come riding in as a big pack and park and rev the fuck out of their bikes the whole time. It got old pretty quick.

That's when I decided to quit riding a Harley.
I pulled off in the mountains to have a smoke and was sitting there enjoying the quiet until some cock holster on a Harley, with his "tunes" cranked up  came by.
