Curly1, I used to live in Manhattan and there was a guy who rode his Harley down 2nd Avenue every day at 6:30 am. Going to work I assume. It was like he TRIED to make as much noise as possible with the revs in each gear. I know he loved the sound of his bike bouncing off the sides of the buildings. You could hear him for miles. The sound reverberated off the buildings like jack hammers. He annoyed maybe 10,000 people a day just so he could have his straight-through Harley exhaust. I'm sure he would have given the "Land of the Free" argument too. But something can also be said for the rest of us having the right to be free from behavior like that.
