I'm going to hold out for the Special
* that adds Japanese tuner car brrrraaaaappp...to the menu. Well worth the $750 upcharge, it'll be!
PS I wonder if Harley is gonna offer potato-potato-potato sonics for their e-motorcycle? Heck, they probably already do.

Wouldn't surprise me if the fake exhausts came rusty straight from the factory. It's an established tradition with their real exhausts (and nuts and bolts) after all.I'm going to hold out for the Special Addition that adds Japanese tuner car brrrraaaaappp...

THIS is freaking brilliant! Looks to be a back loaded horn ("scoop"), with dispersion control for the treble to boot!
And green, environmentally speaking!
I am awestruck.

1) gonna go back and fix that in the OP.
2) I guess I need more coffee... possibly less, but I don't have an easy pathway to actualize the latter.
I don't really know what you mean... I just hope it's clear I meant HD with the factory rusted parts.man! I actually typed Special Addition! that's troubling.

My fog-addled brain led my gullible fingers to type Addition rather than the sort-of homophone Edition in the OP.
Maybe a symptom of incipient (or not so incipient) dementia?
EDIT: Special Addition would put one squarely in the realm of New Math... 1+1 = 3, imaginary numbers, etc.
since the YT link doesn't work as an embedded video...

Ah, now I get it. I didn't notice because special addition also sounds right in the context! Special addition to the vehicle, for special people...My fog-addled brain led my gullible fingers to type Addition rather than the sort-of homophone Edition in the OP.

Oh, and about rusty Harleys: I don't know whether that's still a persistent problem, but a few years ago it was at least. They got ripped to shreds in the German motorcycle press, because not one, but several of them opened the shipping crates of their review examples straight from the factory, and found aforementioned rust. Hilarious really.
I guess poking fun at Harley Davidson also kinda fits into this forum (or at least thread lol), because it's 50 years outdated technology, with objectively bad performance, sold at snake oil prices and living on hype and brand loyalty alone that would never survive a blind test.

This reminds me of a favorite episode of the 1970s US TV series, M*A*S*H.If it were severe dementia, you wouldn't know what dementia is any more
Bear with me, as this is an extreme abstraction & paraphrase.
Protagonist Major Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce is worried about his sanity. He's acting increasingly irrationally and he cannot sleep.
A recurring character on the show, a military psychiatrist called Dr. Sidney Freedman*, subsequently shows up and chats with Pierce.
Hawkeye tells Sidney he's afraid that he's going insane. Sidney replies: "If you were actually insane... you'd sleep like a baby."

M*A*S*H was one of the few US productions allowed in Polish TV in the late 80s, so I know it (or, I rudimentarily remember, due to my post COVID dementia)
