yeah. ***** him. i get my chops busted too. most dont even own a bike . who cares. to that guy his big v twin is more of an image than a means of transportation. i ussually take my sporty out at nite and just tear through the city. lots of hills and corners...try doing that without scraping the floorboards on the other bigger bikes. but if i was a touring guy id probly have a roadking in the garage...in the meantime im just hoping that the xr1200 is sold in the states, that bike will shut up any big twin for sure, brian

Well, there is an old saying that goes;

"Cogitationis Poenam Nemo Patitur"

Which means;

"Nobody should Be Punished For His Thoughts"


But even so, sometimes that advice is hard to take, and it would make more sense just to kick them up the side of their head.

Ride with a lot of the Bigger twins Riders,for the most part great people to be around and to them a Harley is a Harley ... For the Few that put on the smear or act superior they don't usually stay the course long .. Give one enough rope they hang theirselves every time ..

Anyone who says a Sporty is a girls/starter bike has never ridden one.
That has been my experience as well.

I'm out in Greensboro, NC working at a trade show representing the place I work. Well I'm talking to a guy about bike week in Myrtle Beach and he tells me he has a heritage softail and I said that's cool, I've got a sportster 1200 custom. and he kind of smiles and says well I hate to tell you but you don't have much of a bike. I said I have to disagree with you my bike is a ton of fun to ride, then he walks off.... I just laughed...

You should have offered to race him for pinks. Softails are slow as hell.
I couldn't agree more... I often use the "Let's run 'em" line, when some idiot makes a derogatory comment about my bike... It usually catches people off guard... Especially when they realize that I am dead serious
