i didnt call it better. far from it, i called it crappy.

my time on my sportster is "me time" if someone needs a ride ill slap that seat on there, and then they better pay me.

hahaha just kidding

the touring bikes do a better job of carrying people around, everyone who rides on my bike complains about the noise and vibration and crappy seat. but i love the noise, i never feel vibration, and im not the one sitting on the crappy seat =D

Yep... I agree... this is all about me...

If a woman wants to ride... I show her where the Harley Dealer is...[8D]

Then we can ride where ever she wants...

I love the solo look but I do like to ride with my GF. Thats why I have more than one seat. I put the sundowner and sissy bar on for the two up riding. We are not the biggest couple so the bike performs well two up.

A few reasons....
My wife won't ride on it, she doesn't like motorcycles at all.
Keeps me out of trouble,the wife would hate seeing another woman on the back.
I love the look.
I love just taking off and spending time on my own.

I just got a solo seat, I like the look of it so far, won't put any miles on it till tonight. I also have a badlander, that is on most fo the time, for short trips if the wife rides with.

She likes the stock seat it came with for comfort. I love to ride, and have done most of my riding alone up until I met my wife. Unless I really want to go rip around town, I'd much rather have my wife with on the back. I enjoy spending time with her, and she is an excellent passenger. I would say I ride more alone than together then though because her daughter also nees to be watched. She is 9 and she rides a fair amount on the back as well, and loves it!

I've been with my girl for 8 years and going out solo is the fun of it, without her yammering in my ear the whole time.
Now if I had some hot little college girl who wanted to go for a ride, I'd be buying a 2-up and sissy tonight! [sm=badbadbad.gif]
