Ride your own ride. In many countries a 883 would be considered a big bike. If you like it, screw everybody else.

Maybe a matching purse? ... Relax, it's a joke.

Ive got an iron and all the lads I ride with have big twins, when we stop mine gets the most admiration and I feel it handles so much better even if not 'big'

LOL, it's hard to imagine that I was once young enough to care what people thought about the gender of my motorcycle (or me).

OK - Time for a female point of view.

F'em. Apparently they have small 'minds'.

In West Texas, the bigger the pickup the smaller the 'mind'.

Well, I own a Sportster 883, Dyna Low Rider and Ultra Limited and see women riding all three models so I reckon I am in the "Girls Bike" club with ya for multi models. Maybe I can be the president of the club?


No worries, just enjoy the ride.

You open this thread with the rant that you are tired of people calling your 883 a girls bike and didn't think some were going to bust your ***** a little more! Wow you are a glutton for punishment. Keep your chin up, hand on the throttle and all will be alright.
