Default RE: weight limit

ORIGINAL: Malibyte

Haha...I was at the local H-D stealership last weekend, sitting outside, when this guy rolls up on a 1200 Sporty...he probably weighed 240-250# or so...but worse, his had-to-be-350# wife was riding bitch...I couldn't believe it. I can't imagine how unwieldy/unstable that bike must have been. Turns out that they rode in to trade the Sporty in on a Road King. [\\\\\\] I think they needed to trade it in on TWO Road Kings.

Hey!&nbsp\\; That was US!&nbsp\\; And JosephGarcia, I specifically forbade you to ever show that picture to anyone!&nbsp\\; Harrrummpphh!
