RE: Why do guys on sportsters get sh*t on?
Actually I like Sportsters over many of the other models the company is currently making. Hell a friend of mine has one that he's dumped about 8K into at this point. That's one sick *** bike and I've never heard anyone rib him for it. Though people regularly question his sanity about it.

I never got any negative remarks when I had my 04 sportster and I loved riding it but always riding 2 up we got a heritage. By myself I would choose the sportster. Distance is a factor though

Yup, good natured **** talking is one thing, but when it comes right down to reality there is nothing wrong with a Sportster if that's what you like. (feel free to sub any other bike for "sportster" in that statement). My buddy Tim has a real nice silver 1200C with pipes a/c and download and he could run pretty close with my 05 Nightrain with pipes a/c and PCIII. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Here's a question....you have to ask yourself.....what kind of lame-o has the right or the time or the nuts to give another person sh-- over what the other guy/girl decided to buy for themselves to ride? Quite frankly, as I said before, I have had bigger bikes and more expensive bikes than the Sporty, but I could have given two rats a--es what the people I rode with each particular day were riding....go a step further, dare I say it, I could have given two rats a--es if they were on a crotch rocket, BSA, Kaw, Honda, Triumph, or Schwinn!!! Just get the hell out and ride....

I must be getting a little worked up here....sorry.
The one thing I have learned in most all aspects of my life applies here....mind your own da-- business. If something doesn't directly effect you or your loved ones....who gives a crap what someone else thinks or how they act?

Man, you guys just reminded me that a friend of mine had torn down the badass Sporty that he built just before my wreck in August. He tore it down to repaint it BLACK (the only correct color
) and was planning on selling it (he likes riding the custom Santee framed evo powered WG copy that he just built better and he has 5 bikes total that he has built/restored). I need to get over there tomorrow and get a picture of it if it isn't gone yet. Oh well, even if it is, I'm sure he will hook me up with a pic.

LOL I've been thinking about something. I'm getting ready to restore the old 69 340 4-speed Dart Swinger. If I put the tail stripe on longways, will it make it faster?
