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.

Have been to Marcus Dairy quite a number of times on a Heritage Softail (carbureted). That's an old pleasant memory.  Tried riding the '76 shovelhead rigid chopper up there one time...too much pain, seems I waited too long and tried to fool myself into thinkin' this will be fun!  WTH its only 90 miles each way...yeah right. Still have both of them.  BTW, going to Limerock for the IMSA race in July (if its not cancelled).

Yeah it's been ARC since early 70s,  Corvettes since early 70s,  My dad was a Harley fan so we had a bike or two around.  Fun stuff.

To the OP:  yup rallies are one thing, biker parties are another thing altogether.  Usually runnin' on the ragged edge of...well you know.

 There was a place in Illinois called the Highland House. It was up north on highway 41 by 22. Every Sunday bikers would come from near and far. You would wonder around and see all sorts of unusual bikes. It is long gone now. I use to go there in the late 1970's and early 80's. I miss those days, I still had my 65 pan.

Marcus Dairy, oddly never made it there even though I'm close. Limerock is a lot of fun, lots of open space so should be open.
