I love the sound of a Harly with open exaust just as much as I love the sound of any bike baffled or not. Even a crotch rocket with a loud can. When a bike fires up and takes off its the sound that reminds me of the freedom of riding fast and loud on the open road. The taking of our fredoms, even one small one at a time, is a shame and should never be applauded. Thats my opinion
