[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1238565, member: 25896"] The throttle blipping at stops is, I think, partially a hold-over from the pre FI days, and in particular during the period when HD was gutted during the AMF era. The engines would commonly idle poorly, and often stall out when coming off idle. The FI Harleys today idle just fine, so that throttle twisting now is simply an attention-seeking affectation, like LOUD pipes & etc. Most of the Harley riders I encounter around here are just motorcycle enthusiasts who happen to like Harleys, obviously for reasons other than performance, handling and so forth, and most seem to prefer the baggers, with fairly quiet exhaust. They still tend to be throttle blippers, tho'. [/QUOTE]
