Default RE: Chick Bike???

I'll be the first to admit that I bought a Sportster as my first HD based on it's lower price compared to Big Twins. Before I put 1k miles on it, I was already talking of what Big Twin I was gonna get when I could. Granted, it took me 8 years of riding the Sporty before I could get in a financial position that I was comfortable enough with to buy a Big Twin.

Sportsters used to be the mainHD chick bike, till they realized they needed to fill a gap for mature females. So now, Sportsters are for girls. Deluxes are for women.
By mature do you meen Fatass women? Cuz I'm 115lb and my sporty suits me just fine. I got your real woman right here

When i went looking for my bike, I looked at all of them, sat on all of them and test rode a few, My friends have differnt types, setups ect..... I could of bought any one of them. But for some reason, i dont know why, When i sat and road a sporster, something just got to me inside. The feel of it, the power of it, the look of it, It just said to me, This what i want, this what i wanna ride! I could care frikin less what some opinionated, small dick, short minded individual has to say about me and others about what we ride.

Stupid is not so much what a person does, It's what they say when they feel as though they need to spread thier shortcomings..........................

yeah... I thought the Softail was the "women's bike." Hey, THAT's an idea... maybe I should go over to Softail land and ask Why do people call Softails Women's Bikes???

OK I'll play along this once, only. I got my Sporty because it was the best performing HD under $20K that was the old design (V-rods are nice, just not what I wanted). Since I get one bike, and it's my commuter bike too, my 1200R does what I want and yes, I ride it hundreds of miles at a time. I don't scrape parts taking corners above 15 mph either.
So there.
