Any Harley Davidson fans out there? I'm a new fan. Just like construction boys like to talk about their tools, HD guys like to talk about their bikes. In fact, biker boys get a little poetic about their rides.

I recently was informed that the HD V-twin engine is configured to create the classic bass "plunkity-plunkity-plunkity" sound that other bikes have tried to imitate. When a HD accelorates, the sound intensifies and hits the pleasure center of the brain. That head-turning sound plus the rightness of the vibration created by the V-Twin motor make the bike a provocative stimulator on many sensory levels.

That resonant pulsation is so palpable that when I was recently donning my helment while my friend fired up his Fat Boy, the bass vibrations tripped the alarm on the car parked behind us.

cool, huh?

Maybe some of you with more biking experience would care to elaborate.
