Boys, boys, boys! I go silent for a few days and you are feeding the beast. What is ironic is that I am about the ONLY woman FLD owner who is regularly on this forum. Once in a while ChickRider and I cannot recall the other woman's name visit the site. I can only assume there are way more men FLD owners than women. The bike is unisex - both men and women can enjoy the ride. Happy Valentine's Day; a day early.
Hi all, I'm still here. I hang around & read the comments but don't say much. I agree, that more men own an FLD than women. I don't judge others by what they ride. When I pass another rider on the road, we acknowledge each other. I respect them and they respect me. If they don't like my bike, fine, Who cares? I love it, but I loved my sportster and my wide glide too!

By the way, my '01 FXD is named Black Betty but it's actually named after my '78 Lowrider that I bought new back then and named it that after the song. My FLD is named Mojo after a golf ball that one of my coworkers claimed was laying on the pavement next to my bike. I don't believe his story because he was just trying to rattle me.

LOL, cool. And all these years I thought black beauty was a mare. Probably because all my sisters liked the book so much, I just assumed it was a mare and not a stallion.
I always wondered if you gals named your scoots guy names. We are all funny creatures aren't we? That's some of the stuff that makes us all interesting though, I do believe.

Funny thread. Good to see that there are still a few people that dont get all wound up with criticism. The defensive posts are from people that are second guessing the purchase. I felt like that with my last bike but now I could not be happier. Good luck Gents

No way, feel free to put those on your bike and I actually like them but I'm sticking with the stock ones on mine.

oh, oh Black Betty, blam-a-lam...love it.
On the bags, that's why we (well maybe not US quite yet..lol) have so many choices...something for everyone. I already have a potential buyer for mine and he is thrilled i will be able to sell them at half price. I just want to cover the cost of the new ones, so it's a win-win. As you know, I rarely put mine on and when i do, I just want something bigger and a different look. Personal preference thing again. Take care bro.

with they will continue to show their ignorance on the subject.
