No, no, no. You _were_ RIDING a pretend Harley, not pretending to ride a Harley. As long as we're being ridiculous, let's get it right people.

I think the Sportster series is probably the most recognizable and classic Harley.

That is what I was going to tell her but I thought "why would I waste my time explaining to that old fart that Sportsters have been around since 1956?" lol

I think this is a common thought about Sportsters and Vrods from non harley owners. You can't fix stupid, but you can smile and laugh at them!

As an owner of both, I get it from all directions.

However, I have come up with a response that thus far no Harley driver can respond to adequately regarding the vrod. When they say that it isn't a real Harley, I respond with......

"That's why I bought it!"

No response.
