Default Looking for a come back

Ok I deep down don’t give a crap what other people think. ( so why this thread?) for fun....

However, I was out on a ride today and mentioned changing bikes to a 15 Street Glide CVO and holy crap did I open up the gates of ball bust’n.

I got so much s^*t and comments like, what’s wrong with you. I guess if you got something to prove than go for it. those things are a waste of money...etc...

Now all my friends know, I have had Flat heads, Pan heads Shovels & Evo’s, heck. I have built a few bikes in the past. I showed most of them how to repair their bikes & have rescued a few from the side of the road.

But I was so shocked at the jealousy, and the comments. All I could say is hey” if I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand”.

They keep giving me crap so I came back with “just because I can afford one don’t blame me”.
However, that just made them feel bad.

Therefore, to all your wise guys & gals out there I ask you. Got any good comebacks for me to have? some ammo next time they see me on my CVO?

just some fun ones don't want to make my sensitive bros hurt,,, just because they don't have the same income level or see the value and passion for a CVO that I have.

Just looking for that one come back to shut them up....LOL

What do you got?

Default Because I can

It's the whole package; paint, sound, and the 110 and I can afford it.

At least that's what I'm going to say if anyone gives me **** about mine. What color did you go with? I'm getting the scorching yellow.

When I bought my 2012 CVO Street Glide, I told people I bought it because I hated the white faces on all of the gauges on the regular Street Glides. Once they realized that I was not going to waste time explaining/justifying how I spent my money they left me alone.

They're giving you a load of crap, and you want to be careful not to hurt their feelings? Really? Ok, ok, I know they're friends, but...

"All right, you bozos, I'm making you a deal you can't refuse: I'll ride any bike you want, as long as you pay for it.

What, I have to pay for it? Well, then, I get to pick what I want, and you get to STFU."

How does that sound?

All I have is this:

"Envy is a basic emotion exhibited by the weak and short dicked; but I still consider you my friend."

As a CVO owner myself, I look at it as the Screaming Eagle is the royal line of Harley. Its the best they have. Its a Harley Pureblood.
