The fact is, Harley's were made loud not just because of the machismo, but because of the safety. Even if I check my blind spot a million times, a crotch rocket can sneak up unseen and legally line-ride to pass in many states, but I won't even know there's a motorcycle around because of its low-visibility and absence of noise until it's already passed me. That's why I hate crotch rockets, they're meant for race tracks, not open roads. Meanwhile, I can hear a harley, even a sportster 100-200 yards behind me and know there's a motorcycle somewhere I need to be careful of.
