Sorry.......those two things dont jive.

 

i never touched, and will not, my sportster suspension. it carved up Deals Gap with no problem.







road king: careful what you ask for. my dyna is all engine too. the sportster is more fun, but the dyna makes me scream "F**k!", it just keeps pulling... on the highways and long straights. low speed/ round town... no. might as well be captaining a yacht. big lummox.

sporty is this the in town/traffic king

 

F**K Baggers Sportsters rule the motorcycle world.

 

I always keep a sporty. While I ride touring most of the time, I always find time to run errands, take a few of the mountain or farm roads, or take it to work. It is always fun and for me it has a special feeling, my first real joy on a motorcycle came in '64 when I got my first sporty. So every ride on my current sporty is like a Jules Verne time machine to High School. Rode it yesterday at 30F. Works with my Gerbing's gear just fine.

 

I kept mine because I didn't need the few grand the tire kickers would offer me. I


bought a Super Glide for two -up, and If I am not riding two -up, I usually take the


Sportster. I call it my "alter ego" bike. LOL! I also told the OL, "if I sell it, I will end up


buying another one" I know myself pretty well.

 

I live in rural America. Where i live there are 4 houses per square mile if even that. Interstate doesn't belong in that sentence. I should of said long country roads with little to no traffic at highway speeds. Ironically getting from point A to be in the U.S doesn't require interstate driving thankfully. Ride safe.

 

My Sporty is pure adrenaline. I spend a lot of time on Softails, baggers, Trikes, and a bit on a Dyna now and then. But for pure in the wind fun, & raw acceleration up to about 95, no other HD comes close for me.

 

still feeling happy about my geriatric sporty! even the 110 doesn't thrill like the evil sporty! love my chick bike! makes 40 mph super fun, lol.

 

My Sportster is good way past 80. Only trouble is, I'm not LOL

 

I loved my Sportster, and heard the same crap from people. A lot just said it was too small for me. But, I was comfortable on it, and it handled great.
Now I have a Triumph as a second bike, and it's very similar to my old Sportster. I'm sure I'll always have two bikes, unless I can find room in the garage for a third! If it happens to be a Sportser, I'll be fine with that!
