    I know a few really nice guys who just happen to be bikers.

    The part I can't figure out is why companies like Harley-Davidson can't come up with a decent muffler. Namely, one that won't wake me up at 3AM when the neighbor decides to come home and rev his engine hard in his driveway across the street.

    And I don't buy the "...so drivers can hear me coming in traffic" excuse. Too many cars are soundproofed better than my bedroom window, and with the stereo going they can't even hear a fire truck or ambulance, let alone the Harley rumble.

    "I saw you, go home to your family."

    == I saw you, and I order you to go home to your family.

    ok two things .....

    1 this was copied and pasted and posted ...I did not write this nor do I take credit for its inception and as its very long ...I really dont want to spend alot of time correcting it when it gets the point across just fine as is

    2 this is a poem .....the whole thing is saying "I saw you but you didnt see me " hence the I saw you at the begining of each sentence..... I think the commas are intended as a pause.

    oh nevermind

    I have been in the motorcycle business for a good number of years. I am clean cut and dont look like your normal "biker". I have noticed over the years bikers are some of the nicest, giving people around. And more than not the rougher they look the nicer they are. Most of the bikers I know would give a stranger the shirt off of thier back if they needed it.
