Hmm!
The Harley thump-thump, whether on a Harley or some other machine, is not great
when it goes past my house. I live on a narrow street in a village that is
cursed with having great roads to the north and south; we are therefore on the
UK motorcycle touring map, I reckon.
The single- or two-pot machines reverberate loudly down the street. But at
least they are doing a reasonable speed of around 20mph; I have occasionally
considered murder on the stupid people who are doing more than 40 down this
street..

(who is not in the least bitter because he doesn't have a machine . . .;-))
