I have been here for awhile and have read lots of post of how you will get tired of your sportster and want more or how you will look ridiculous on a sporty if you are to big,well I'm here to say that I have had my 883 iron almost a year,have almost 10,000 miles on her,and I am 5'10 and weigh 230 and I really don't care what I look like to others and nor am I bored with the performance of the 883,longest ride I have taken was 400 miles each way,so 800 miles and I was very comfortable,I also think I look fine on it,jhttp://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac262/troutman25/harleywithbars003_zpsd29ca356.jpgmo

I take it you like watches?

 

To each his own, but please have the courtesy to get out of the way when a big bored, cammed modified bike tries to get around you while riding in the center of your lane at 58 m.p.h. on the highway.

 

It had better be big bored and cammed if you expect to out run me on my 883. Lol.

 

Ya' see, now that is just wrong...

'Tough to feel your vibes from just text but I see you have an Electraglide Classic so I guess that makes you more of...um, what does that make you more of again?

It can't be denied...Sporty's are fun, flickable, and can surely outmanuever the larger bikes but who really cares, 'cept for guys who have to get bigger things, you know, to compensate for their small pee-pee's...



=8^)

 

At least I wont have to ask you to get out of my way........youll do it all on your own like this guy.



And why didnt you just buy a car? Your 99% of the way there anyway.

 

Actually my second bike is an 883 Sportster upgraded to a 1200, with Andrews N8 cams and a 2 into 1 exhaust. My 883 in it's first life form could not get out of the way of its own shadow. But even the Electraglide you make fun of has been improved to run in the 90 mph range effortlessly while going on runs with my bros. 883's are not bad bikes, but they are slow. Horsepower on my 883 was about 45 before the conversion, now it was dyna tested at 76 with more tweaking ahead for this bar hopper.

 

You'll have to do at least 59 mph to beat my Sporty. And that's without using the center of the lane.
