Default New Sporty IN the garage!

Mama has been kicking it around for a couple years, having her own bike. She saw this blue '09 1200 Sportster Low and wouldn't quit talking about it. Brought it home today. She's proud!

Good luck and many safe miles with the bike. New owners are always proud of their ride, but tell her to get it down off the garage before someone gets hurt.

LOL, I went back to edit that and, apparently, you can't edit a thread title!

Better get it down before it falls through
Sorry couldn't resist.

Honestly though it looks good.

Can't get my wife to part with hers. Looking at a nice 09 Dyna but she is adamant about keeping her 1200 low. We have taken 3000 miles rides and my feeling was that maybe bigger would be better, What do I know anyhow Troble is she will load my bike down with all her excess baggage. One of the reasons why I had to go from a SERK to an Ultra, she needs all of the added luggage space.
