Harleys, Why so LOUD?


I don't mean to flame anyone here, but I think motor cycles, specifically, Harley Davidsons, especially those riding in the city, have got to be the biggest menace to the peace out there. Why do they have to be so loud? Motor cycle riders have a certain amount in common with bicyclist, such as a love of the freedom of the open road, or trail, and a love of the outdoors (?). I know plenty of decent people that ride these things, and don't have any static toward the riders specifically. HDs are so popular these days that it seems to be a faux pas to even bring up the issue. I can't wait till winter time when I can ride my bike without the noisyness of other two wheelers. I am wondering what how you, the cycling community, feel about the noise issue.
