Are Harleys like trucks?

...that has to idle 10 minutes before they pull away?

This morning at Engen Winelands there was a gaggle of Harleys obviously going on a long distance ride. At least 30km's or so.

And like they always do, they filled up, started the bikes and then stood there, apparently too blinded by the chrome to put their helmets on and pull away.

So they blocked the forecourt, walking around bak-arm, while making such a terrible noise that I had to scream three times to the petrol attendant to get her attention. And she was standing with her head tucked through my side window.

Why can't they just put their helmets on, climb on the bike, start it and pull away like normal people?
