Lovely Sportster, sweet color!
House of Kolors Kandy Tangerine (with just a little extra metal flake). Had the HD script and pinstriping done by a local guy. Freehand. He did a GREAT job using purple, lime green and vermillion.

Man you Sportster guy b*tch all the time about the baggers winning the BOTM. A great looking bike is nominated and you do nothing but b*tch amongst yourselves about the bikes nominated. Get a grip, jm's bike is a nice ride. (although jskwarek's bike is one sweet RK!)

Thank you all very much for the excellent reactionsin this thread. The reason I joined these forums was to study the general Harley-Davidson rider's psyche. I am a 19-year-old college student majoring in Psychology. I have aproject due at the end of the semester, and I decided this would be an interesting topic toresearch. You have all provided me with exceptional examples of the universal HD psyche. I am focusing my research on the different levels that HD owners relate to their motorcycles. Some emphasize functon over form while others chooseto take an art-oriented approach. Now that I have collected enough information, I will beleaving the HD Forums. Once again, I thank you all. I apologize if I've offended anyone in this particular thread, but I assure you it was necessary.

Online forums are typically being closely observed for academic research among other reasons:

And you expect.... someone?.... to believe this line of b.s..... That is a nice "story" indeed... Not a bad way to try and wriggle your way out of the worm hole. My personal advice would be to just take your licks like a man and move on... So you posted some ignorant and offensive comments..... So what?... No need to waste an hour of freedom creating an implausible and wholly ridiculous excuse for your stupidity.. Next time... Just apologize for being a fu!@tard ... And move on[8D]

What a bunch of bull, is this your retort because everyone now knows that you can't tell the difference between a metric and a harley.

On the other hand, I have taken absolutely no time or expended any energy commenting on your bike. If I like it, I will say so. If I think it sucks, guess what...you WILL NEVER KNOW!
