Nine Dying Diesel Fads
I am really glad that 1, 4, and 9 are going away. Especially nine because it gives diesels a bad rap and makes people that don't know any better believe that all diesels(even deleted ones) emit black...

If you have a diesel with a straight pipe (no muffler), I have news for you.
You're "THAT GUY" to everyone else in the campground. You know, the guy most people wonder when you're checking out so they can have peace and quiet again. May as well bring along a contractor generator powered by a briggs and stratton, that runs at ear splitting loudness levels and run it all day too. Or maybe unload a straight piped noisy davidson motorcycle and idle it for 45 minutes while you put your pirate costume on and rev it needlessly (in the city at every stop light) like a 12 year old with a clothes pinned playing card in his bicycle spokes. 'Cuz you know....loud pipes save lives while annoying everyone within 2 miles.

Winner of Post of the day!
Great post, indeed. Lets not forget that all of these dress up and pretend pirates are all "lone wolves" that's right, genuine Billy Bad-axes. They all go to the HD dealer, and pay twice what everything is worth, so they can have the right tee shirt, vest, and other "accessories" so they fit in. But then it gets confusing? If everybody acts like sheep, obsesses over conforming to the "motor company" dress code, and dresses like corporate sponsored play pirates, how can they all be "lone wolves"?
I knew that HD jumped the shark a decade or more ago, when tourist towns started to have "Harley" shops appearing among the antique shops, art galleries, and fudge shops. You take a quick peek inside and it takes a minute to confirm that it's not a HD dealer, it's actually a designer dress shop for pirates.....................it was a riot.
