I'm not getting down on the Harley riders personally Mike, I'm just getting a bit tired of hundreds's and hundreds of them blasting out of Laytonville hard on the gas, most with very little in the way of a muffler. In small groups on non Redwood Run weekends I even enjoy the sound of a good running HD. But when they ride by my shop for days on end it becomes bit annoying. I will say that the metric cruisers sound like shit when they put loud pipes on, they just don't have that good ole HD beat.
None of you all know this but at one time I was into Harley's, I rode in their groups (only 50 miles at a time) went to their parties, got a tattoo and was heading down the outlaw biker path wfo. Even had a 48 1200 Panhead, that I had to work on every time it was ridden. I got tired of the fights, which happened at EVERY party they had. I didn't like riding from bar to bar, and I liked to ride much farther that 50 miles at a time. I just didn't fit in, so I went back into what I had been doing and that was riding sporty Japanese bikes. Sure glad I changed lanes back in 1971.
So here it is Sat morning and it's soo quite outside

Most of all of them are up near Piercy at their camp sites by now, but come Sunday afternoon, Monday morning, the valley will once again be a roar from them all heading home. I'm just glad this only happens once a year
