I agree that sound makes the Harley a Harley. As for loud stereo's with all that base I don't understand, all they care about it is the decibals they can get out of those speakers, I can understand listeing to music loudly I enjoy blasting my stereo and listeing to Metallica sometimes, but it is not distorted and I have very good speakers to play it through in my home stereo.

There is a law against level of noise coming from a car, if they have those big 15" subs with 1500 watts etc.. the police can give them a ticket. I can't remember how the law is exactly stated but if the police officer can here the stereo a certain distance from the car it is against the law.
