When I first started riding I met any number of Harley enthusiasts and it was always chill. But at some point in the late 80s/early 90s I noticed a change. Suddenly there were these faux bikers who thought they were bad boys tooling around on $25k toys. They were McDonald's franchise owners, urologists and investment analysts. They were the type of people who paid taxes and voted in local school board elections living out some sort of mid-life crisis. They were just consumers who put it on their credit cards. I hope there's not an audiophile equivalent.
Stereo systems are like Harleys
You'll never see two exactly alike. They are an expression of the owners ideas on design and performance, usually within the construct of a budget. Often put together over time with new and used parts.
I love that about this hobby. How boring would it be if we all had the same ideas of how a system should sound or look?
When you go to any kind of a rally, be it a poker run, charity ride or whatever.... it's customary to just walk around, checking out other peoples rides and chatting it up. It's a great way to meet people and have fun. Oddly, those bikers who's stigma is to be rowdy and obnoxious, are the nicest people I've met. Never once have I ever heard comments like DUH you should done this or that with your bike. Everything and everybody is accepted as is.
Perhaps some folks around here could learn a thing or two from the bikers.
