I guess it really does look old school
This week i've had three people ask me if my bike is new or old. I liked that. Must be the rusty Roland Sands bars. Any of you guys get asked that when on your sporty?

RE: I guess it really does look old school
People usually ask me "when you going to wash it? it's a HARLEY, man!" I just smile.
Every bug, every spot of dirt or water spot, every bit of caked on mud (ugh, we went serious dual-sporting on road bikes the other day) - it's all well earned.
The rust, the dirt... whatever it is that keeps it from looking like a garage queen... is A-OK by me. Wear it proudly
ps... that dog cracks me up!

RE: I guess it really does look old school
I have my bike's pic on the computer as wallpaper at work. Some guy at work last night saw it and asked if my bike was a 70s model.
He said he liked the old style look and the "big shocks"
Ilike to keep my bike clean and still ride it. Some people are multitalented like that.

I liked when the nightster wasn't so known cause people would always tell me "I like what you did to that sportster" haha oh well I still like it even if it's starting to get played out. I'll just have to customize it till it's different!!!

I like disc brakes and electronic ignition, but the vintage stuff LOOKS better. So we can make the best of both worlds. I like the kick starter too , and the belt drive. I can hear my wife's gentle voice, "now I'll never be satisfied, you selfish porkface..."

RE: I guess it really does look old school
I read the original design for the nightster had kickstart but before it got okay'd the kickstarted never left the drawing board
Too bad too that would have been a sick feature, I don't think I would ever use the electric start unless of course I were leaving my house and no one were looking

RE: I guess it really does look old school
There is not to many nightsters in my town, and i have had to explain on several occasions that i havent done anything but add some accessories to a stock 07, but anyone that knows what the hell they are looking at usually knows what the hell they are looking at. If that makes any sense at all.......
