I don't know any sane guy who'd ditch his slim light girl in favor of a fat cow and thinks he's upgrading.
And for this one I don't care that YMMV.

I know a lot of guys who will gladly ditch flat-a$$ and flat-chested 70lb girl for nice D b##bs and round a$$ with thin waist and call it upgrade - I'm one of them

Those guys had 883s with 2.1 gal tanks and upgraded to 1250s with larger tanks. Still sportsters, right back at ya!


Oh, and are those udders that I see under your FXDB??

Lol - you definitely know a lot about animals
Those modifications to 883 are like plastic surgery, and you know what they say about it?

I just find it easier to keep it going straight; my old Nightster didn't fishtail when the rear wheel locked, unlike the Dyna. And, of course, the Superlow has ABS, so I don't have to worry about locking either wheel with over-aggressive braking.

Ahh, you mean under emergency/evasive action. Understood, thanks.

And yeah, just the ABS option is enough to make me want a 2015 bike...

Ive talked a lot of smack over the years about BTs but ONLY AFTER someone else has disparaged my preference in bikes. And thats a VERY common occurrence on this forum.
'Twas the first ride of the year, and the Dyna wouldn't start. The Sportster did. Guess which one I rode?

It's also been my experience, that slim pretty girls are always more eager to party, at the drop of a hat one might say...
