Fixed
Came to this thread to find the other "bike curious" folks. Left disappointed.
Hopefully I'll have my broken ninja 250 fixed by the spring. I've got no interest in harleys or other two-wheel buicks.
As an aside, one of the guys at the landscape place next door has an old chevy c10 with open headers. He spends about 5 minutes every day revving the crap out of it for no reason. I bet he also owns a harley.
The guy across the street from me has a Trans Am of the ratty variety. The sort that uses a blue tarp as a car cover. Before he drives it, he has to spend 5 minutes revving it up. When he's working on it, all he ever seems to do is just rev the engine. vrooOOOOOmmmm vroooOOOOOmmmm vroooOOOOOOOOOmmmm.
We call him the "master mechanic". Someday I'm going to go over and ask him just what it is he's trying to do to the car. Then I'll hit him with a camshaft.

Not even a Ducati? Blasphemy.

I must be missing something. My Buell has a carb and for all intents and purposes has a Harley motor and carb. It idles fine. No revving needed.
Some people confuse quantity of noise with the quality of noise. I've been guilty of it.
We ride Buells. We're not f*. Just a little bike curious.
(It has probably been established already, but he was being sarcastic).

Yummy! One of my favorite brands. How about the Suzuki SV engines? I love the sound my Buell makes, but it doesn't sound like a Harley. More like a big block V-8. And it has a muffler.
I really enjoyed this episode. Of course, there are thousands of HD riders who ride the bikes because they enjoy them and who don't annoy people for fun (or at all).
Honestly, they make good bikes, what more can you say? 
Back in August, my roommates and I were on a ride (two Buells and one MV Agusta) up to the mountains in NYC. A bunch of shiny happy people came flying up behind us on their Hyabusas and R1 with their WWI half-helmets on, blew by us (in OUR lane!), and were swerving HARD between cars. Finally, the shiny happy person in the front cut in front of a Mini and dropped his speed down to 15 miles per hour (in the left lane) so that his Bob Costas friends could finish their race moves on us and the other traffic. They finally took off (probably waaay over 100) and blew past a cop who did nothing. I was even waving frantically at the cop pointing forward to try to entice him to go find them. He would have found them sitting at the rest stop off of the parkway a mile ahead.
If I were the Mini, I would have just crashed into the back of him. Those shiny happy people didn't even have enough respect for other bikers not to pass them in their lane.
They are not making fun of HD riders like Dr. Hess that actually ride them, hard. It's the bar hoppers the will and should be pissed off by this episode.

I dislike Vtwin sounds myself- except Ducatis. Man, there is just something about the sound... it doesn't have to be loud, it's just the phasing.
The Yammie 650 I plan to turn into a street tracker is a 180 twin, both pistons rise and fall together. There's a 277 degree crank and cam setup available which makes it sound almost exactly like a Ducati... MUST PUT CREDIT CARD AWAY.
The South Park guys went straight for the hardcore bikers. I was deeply involved in OHV land use issues for several years and almost invariably land managers would throw the bikers in our faces when we would sit down to discuss any issues. I tried many times to point out that dirt bikers aren't Hells angels but that fell on deaf ears. So I already have ~NO~ respect for those fags. I applaud Stone and Parker for telling it like it is.
Just saw the episode...
FAGS!
To this day, the sweetest engine I have ever heard was a Duc with, IIRC, "OEM-upgrade" high pipes
Fag Talk Possibly nsfw
So, what do you call beating a Harley in a race by a large margin?
Smoking a fag.
Edit: Just watched Wally's video. My joke was a few hours too late.

I'll go a little more specific and say that 45 degree shared pin v-twins sound like ass. Always.
As I recall V-twins sound like crap because they're not a full engine, only 2/7 of one. Basically, the original design is a surplus aircraft radial that got cut down to 2 cylinders to fit on a bike. It maintained the original firing sequence that worked with 7 cylinders, but not with only two.
And I can't take HD riders seriously. Whenever I see one, my first thought is "50 year-old Dentist".
I finally watched the episode Friday. Best one I've seen in a long time. I've got a coworker who spouts "Loud pipes save lives" but won't wear a helmet. Nice guy otherwise, at least, and he actually commutes on his bike more often than most.
Just this morning, as I was headed out on my scooter to drop off recyclables (maximum smug factor 
) , a Harley got into formation behind me, and was doing the annoying loud rev thing constantly. Immediately thought of the episode

Is that a bad thing? It is like stereotyping Asian people as smart. But you should have the same thought every time you see a Porsche or Corvette.
Did you yell "FAG"?

The first thing I noticed was the MP3 in the background. I want one of those.

Being a 50yo dentist isn't a bad thing. But a 50yo dentist in a leather vest and do-rag cruising around trying to look tough is just silly. The tough, macho guy image sells to the least tough and macho.
And I do think people who buy a Porsche or Vette just to look tough and cool are silly. I won't stop them though. The more dentists that buy Corvettes, the cheaper they will be later on for me to have another track toy.

The trike he's riding on isn't bad either. 
Ugg... Its 1:40. I live in a dorm. I could throw a baseball across the street into a parking garage for a hotel. Whats in that parking garage right now? You guessed it. An a$$hat revving his harley. for the past three minutes.
goes to call hotel
