I was reading some stuff on a Harley web site and it is amazing the HP gains these people get with pipes.  The bike comes with Between 50 and 70HP and they put a set of pipes on it and dyno tune it(whatever that means) and all the sudden they are running 100 plus hp.  

So this gets me interested in what is the HP on the new Harleys.  On the Harley press release it is posted as N/A.  I assume this means not applicable as in doesn't have any, but let me tell you about my torque.   Headscratch  

I know, I know, Harley bashing but I can't help it.  You don't get a 50 to 100% horsepower increase by adding pipes and tunning the bike.  Maybe the new pipes came on a jap bike.

I put a set of boom tubes, a K&N air filter and my Henry Aaron rookie card in the spokes and I now have 155 rear wheel horsepower.  I've had to pull off one plug wire to keep from spinning up the rear tire when taking off at idle.

I just put a set of D&D Police Interceptor cans on my FLHT and noticed an immediate increase in torque and horsepower without being overly loud, just like their dyno report said!

I've also developed a taste for donuts and coffee at odd hours of the day..... Rolleyes

Hey Sprint Killer.  "STFU"     CLOWN


It took a lot of imagination to come up with that one.   NGKMAN has had two posts.  Both include name calling and profanity.  

Last summer I had issues with 3 people.  All "HD" riders.  The first was a women on a HD calling my wife "Beemer Trash".  The second was another HD women call my bike "Jap Junk".  Which I could not figure out because I was riding my Triumph.  The third was a HD guy bragging his chopper smoked a Honda CBR and that my Sprint was plastic junk.

I know many HD riders that are great people.  But there are some out there like this guy who think because they ride a "HD" think they can insult who ever they want and just plain be obnoxious.  It gets very tiring dealing with these people.  

Why do some people that buy HD's act this way??  Why can't they just respect the fact I do not want to own a HD?  It does't bother me they ride HD's.  Some people need to do some growing up.

Same reason some sport bike riders do wheelies down the road and give you the finger as they sneer.

Assholes are everywhere. Every shape, size and bike style.

I agree with you.  I met a guy riding a Honda ST1300 last fall.  He was an absolute tool.  Jack asses are well represented on all makes of motorcycles.

I sneer at BMW riders when riding my Harley and vice-versa when I'm on my BMW.  Like yin-yang, my complementary behavior constantly interacts, never existing in absolute stasis.  Bigsmile
