Default I got my M50 to sound like a Harley. ...for about 3 seconds.

so i went out for a peaceful 2 a.m. cruise this morning. its just something i do to clear my head sometimes. well apparently i was not paying any attention as i pulled to a stop at a traffic light. in fact, i was so distracted by what i was thinking about and completely forgot to downshift.

so the light turns green and i start to accel.. but very slowly. and the next thing i know, i get that patented "im choking, im about to die" harley sound we all know and love. i was a little startled, yet quite pleased. ..until the engine started to make a very very ugly sound which brought me out of my euphoria and i realized i was in 5th gear at 10 mph.

needless to say, its not anything i intend to recreate. but my stock debaffled pipes had a hell of a sound for about 3 seconds. lol
