Default I almost made a dude cry.

This guy is talking to me... about bikes today. Bunch of dudes standing around....
Then he tosses some smack.
Dude, "When are you gonna get a bike?"
Me, "What do you mean?"
Dude, "A real bike - a mans ride?"
Me, "F-you - you have sat on the Black Cheetah and thought it was roomy on comfortable."
Dude, "Oh... a little sensitive?"
Me, "So, you have a wide-glide and that is a mans bike?"
Dude, "Yep...yes it is, a mans bike"
Me, "Well, you better give it to a man. A man the wont drop it off the ramp when he loads it on the trailer... like you did. What too heavy?"
Dude, "Wait"
Me, "Nope, did your wife have to help you pick it up or did she have more ***** than you and just trailer it herself? Tell me what is it like to look like a total fool like you look right now?"
Dude, "F-you Jim"

Then... one guy says, "You did that?" Then dudes start laughing. Then he starts explaining it. One guys says, "Your excuses dont matter, you dropped your sh%t off a trailer and told the wrong guy."

I know this topic is beat to death... but I thought you would like the story. I dont really care, I love the bike thats all that matters.

Hang Loose brothers

Default RE: I almost made a dude cry.

It amazes me that this kind of "Sportster bashing" happens so frequently, or so it seems in reading about it so often here on the Forum.

I've talked to many people that own Sportsters, including strangers I didn't even know, at various runs, events, meetings, etc.

Up until I joined this site a couple of years ago I had no idea that Sportster bashing seemed to happen so frequently.

Because of that during normal conversation with the Sportster owners I meet, I find a way of asking them if they have any problems with Big Twin owners making fun of their bikes, or calling them Piglet's, Half A Hog, Snortster's, or other things I read about, including the infamous "Girls Bike".

Very, very few of them admit to ever having something like that happen, including some that have had Sportsters for many years.

Hopefully these 'run in's I keep reading about are just isolated cases, because it doesn't seem to happen to the majority of Sportster owners I have met at various locations.

Yes... It was named that by a fella at work.
Ya see... me and another slow dude arm wrestled once. The only thing I didnt know was that he could bench 400 pounds like a year before the actual arm wrestle. He kicked my ****. Not taking that lightly, I figured I could take him in a 40 yard dash. Well, my 9.9 time beat his head-to-head. That is how I got the nickname... cheetah. One day, a guy was looking at my bike, talking about how fast sporties are off the line, and said... "thats the black cheetah".
That is how it got its name

OFG, most times I get crap from fellas that dont even ride. What is the reason behind most crap? Jealously. In some form or another... Most guys see you happy and then think of there 400+ a year payment... and get a bent. So they talk chit.

I dont care what a guy rides. Buddy of mine is going for a v-star. I could care less. It is more important that we take a trip down the Mighty Mississippi together than what he rides.
