For the motivated, you would be shocked at what a 2wd with good tires can do
I had an 88 2 wheel drive Scottsdale. I got stuck in my mothers flat back yard on wet grass pulling a 15 foot aluminum crappie boat. I had mudders on the back. Couldn't move even after unhooking the boat. granted I wasn't trying to rut up the yard, but we had to use the 4 wheeler to get me going.

You are exactly right. Anything anyone ever loved or did is always caused by a small penis. Even the love of calling out small penises on the internet is caused by small penis.

They all wave to each other as a way of saying turn around and meet me in the bathroom at the next rest stop.

So inferior the V-twin has been copied by over half of the industry.

Never understood? I've never done it with a car....
because most bikes are air cooled and just about all of them make very little oil pressure (oil pressure at idle is 5 lbs on most bikes) so the high heat and low rpms can cause little to no oil getting up to the top of the heads.
bumping up the rpms helps to get better lubrication to prevent excessive engine wear.
that said, simply raising the rpms up to a slightly higher level while stopped is all thats needed to maintain good oil flow, and if you do that, then the constant vroom vroom of loud exhaust isnt needed and some guys just do it to hear the noise.
not all bikers are assholes but most harley riders are, and try very hard at it

And why do they have to wear a HD T-shirt when they are riding one. Will they not start I’d you aren’t dressed like a douchebag?

bruh...it's all about patches, colors and territories.....it's a lifestyle you wouldnt understand....
You can literally get killed if you wear the wrong color patch in the wrong restaurant.

This is the actual answer. Overheating is a serious issue with air cooled bikes.
I would never buy a Harley, I'll stick to my trusty, liquid cooled, Kawasaki parallel twin.

Based on marketing not engineering to appeal to those that want to ride a motorcycle that sounds like a 1929 John Deere tractor, however most of the knock offs are better engineered

I honestly have no idea. I know some guys who collect them while on road trips. They stop off at every Harley dealership they see and buy one. I personally do not get it, but have never cared so much as to ask anyone.
