RE: Troublesome Comments About Dynas
Personally, when I bought my Springer, I didn't buy it because someone else liked it, I bought it because I liked it. No offense to what others think or buy, I don't really care what a person rides as long as they are having fun.

Springer, I ride the Ultra, I get greif from idiots because it's a geezer glide and I'm only 44. F em, I rode a Gold wing when I was 19, everyone laughed, but that GL1000 could kick the sh it out of any one elses CB750's and the such. Anyone that rides, I mean rides, treats me with respect.
I helped a guy last week get a Honda 450 going. Why, because he was a brother!
F em, let's go riding!

RE: Troublesome Comments About Dynas
A riding friend of mind rides a bagger and wanted to take my Low Rider for a spin which normally I would never do but he is a true friend. When he came back from the short ride, he said, " That bike has guts and lots of it! " " Wish I had that power" He was impressed to say the least.
Now as our CA governor would say, That girlie bike is FAST! hehe [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

I hear ya -- I have had three or four other HD owners tell me they liked my Sporty -- then they saw the 88 and asked what it was!? I have a 2005 Dyna Super Glide Custom -- and I'll tell ya what -- just like the others here have said, hit a twisty backroad and push it a little bit -- your friends on other models will be pushing themselves to keep up while you're all smiles! You've got a great bike and the benefits of handling with the 88 rumble -- does it get better? Have fun man...

Bagger riders busting on Dynas and/or Sportsters is just as bad as Dyna people busting on Baggers and/or Softails. [sm=dontgetit.gif]
Besides a bunch of foreign steel, I've owned a Sportster, a Low Rider, an Electra Glide Classic and now a Road King.
A Harley is a Harley (except when it has AMF on the tank - Believe me, I know. The Sportster was AMF.)

If you have to justify it then your embarrassed or also think the same way. Be proud of your ride no matter what it is! Dont justify yourself to no one especially to yourself. Just ride and have fun!

I think it’s funny because everybody jumps up to defend when these topics come up. Most of the time it is 40-50 people saying the same damn thing, and the threads will go on for 15-20 pages.

RE: Troublesome Comments About Dynas
I've had FXR's, fxdwg, then a RK, now an 03 FXSTDSE and out of them all I can honestly say that the dyna WG handled better than them all. I liked the dyna but heard the same thing about them being like a sportster. All that I replied is that if the person ever had ridden both bikes, they should know better and not say that.I think it comes from not knowing and it's just talk. Had a friend that had a softail all built up with cams, s&s, 6 speed and he found a new respect for the dynas after I kicked his butt rather good.

Besides, without AMF there was a good chance HD would've been sunk before the end of the '70s.
