Other things that fweem...

As i've been told, VW used the peashooters (which make the characteristic whistle sound) as a means of muffling the engine sound. Well, I've noticed that some motorbikes (japanese harley knock-offs) use something in their exhaust that makes the same sound as a bug!!! We are being threatened people! They stole our fweem!!! Funny huh? Imagine using that muffler on one of those BMW bikes with an a/c boxer engine!

HaHaHa!!! What a funny joke. That's a good one... our VW fweem got stolen by a japanese motor bike? Yeah right!

LOL. Harley Davidson did try to patent their sound in the mid 90's

Harley also went after someone else for using the word Hog.

At least one go-kart track in Finland uses one standard VW peashooter in addition to the normal muffler to lower the engine sound. Did have no fweem though.

Make no jokes when it comes to fweem Richie...
