Bikers, especially Harley Riders...
Is their a good reason to rev your engine more than once to get it going, or is it merely to irritate people?

Seems like if they can afford a Harley, they could afford a more effective muffler too.

Actually there is some truth to that on the freeway, but not in my neighbors driveway.

Also not signalling a right turn when you intend to go straight. I will never know why I didn't believe (and squish) him

Yes, and it also cleans the carb(s) and circulates the oil etc. It's not good to start up any vehicle, including a Harley and just take off. Shifting sucks unless your motion lotion is moving.

Tell the poseurs to get well engineered German or Japanese motorbikes.

Problem solved. Next!

LOL! I whole heartedly agree! I had a Ducati and now own a Kawai and have never had to 'rev' up the engine to warm it up -- in fact, you shouldn't rev it over and over again...just let it idle to warm it up!

(oh, and before i get poopy from the HD riders - I have loads of friends who ride pigs...I mean hogs!! )
