I live a stone's throw from Carefree, and this area is absolutely poser-heaven. At least 90% of the bikes are Harleys or customs, and most of them have after-market pipes. They're always out with their identically-dressed, individualists buds, for that long, lonesome 14-mile ride up to one of a handful of bars. Some of these guys are riding 50, maybe 60 miles a month.
This brouhaha reminds me of the South Park about little league, where Stan's dad would get drunk, start fights, and get dragged away from every game in his underwear yelling "Excuse me, I thought this was AMERICA" to the police.
I'm with Carefree on this one. There's nothing reasonable about the way the posers behave. It's gone way past that.
Cars and trucks would get ticketed too if they roared thru town with staight pipes. Especially if they did it by the hundreds 12 hours a day, 364.25 days a year.
