    Erm, our Harleys pop and bang all the time - are you saying it's a bad thing? :-?

    unburnt fuel getting into the exhaust isn't too good, i'd be more concerned with why the engine was running rich and dumping fuel into the exhaust instead of burning it like it should. (thats what causes the POP i believe)
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    Yes, it's a very bad thing! But admitting that you own a Harley is the first step to recovery. ;D

    I've also seen a Harris destroyed by backfiring the engine!!!

    Trust me they are far from indestructable.
    Have you been hitting the kill switch whilst going along, to scare old ladies?
    No wonder you're destroying cans! ;D

    It cuts the combustion in the engine. If the throttle is kept open, fuel continues to flow, when the kill switch is turned off, the bike fires up..........I think you can guess the rest.

    This will only work on a carb fed engine btw

    I ask an innocent question and this is the response I get.

    This is exactly the reason why I haven't posted on here for a while and won't be anymore.

    Thankyou very much.

    Cerruti. I wouldn't take too much notice if were you. I don't think Mr Builders view is the view of most of the people on here. In fact i'm sure Mr WB would even admit that he doesn't mean any harm by his statement. Wouldn't you Dan? I'm fairly sure it was just a poor attempt at humour?

    I'm sure you are right Nelly, just ignore what I'm sure was meant to be a joke Cerruti.
