Many cops have Harleys as their personal ride. Can't risk pulling over one of their own.

There's actually scientific research that supposedly says that's false... But I see a lot more people noticing me coming up behind them or on their side when I'm on something loud. Even going from stock exhaust to louder on one of my bikes, I noticed more attention. I'll take that as a good thing.

Yes and no... I think there's a point that it gets annoying. I had open pipes on 2 bikes for like 6 months. Got mufflers after that lol.

And if it's not a Harley/cruiser it's some other kind of bike. Or they used to have one. Or they watched Orange County Choppers a few times, and they love Sons of Anarchy.
