Hey, it's better than seeing him in flip-flops and bermuda shorts.

Although I'm no expert by any means,but isn't a Sporty a Harley? Can Harley do any wrong? I think not. Of course, Sporty owners are quite fragile about anybody saying anything bad about them in any way, which ironically enough, provides a veritable goldmine of torture and abuse. I say metrics are much more worthy of distain and ridicule. I mean, if ya need somebody to do that too. I don't.... most of the time.[8D]
