Seriously i dont take offence to the question, i just dont know how to answer it. Its like when people ask you why you like to ride....I could think of a million answers that would just kind of half *** explain it but not really come close. Im almost fully sleeved up with ink and my little boy asked me why i liked tattoos so much and i no **** had trouble telling him.......strange but true.
I must look approachable and people ask me about my sleeves too.
I'm a ball buster by nature and have few fav responces
Q Did that hurt?
A Yes, I cried like a baby!
Q How long did it take?
A1 3 to 15
A2 I passed out at party. woke up next day looking like this.
Q Your wife doesn't mind?
A No, HE's incarcerated

I get asked this from time to time about my bike and i never know quite how to answer. How do you all respond to this question?
Whats wrong with just telling them? Maybe they are considering getting one like yours or doing some of the mods you have done.
You could save them from making a mistake or guide them in making a good decision.
If it handles great but is to harsh to ride all day whats the harm in saying so? Or visa versa its a great highway bike but not what you would call nimble. Nothing wrong with helping folks out.

I have no problems helping folks out but my bike was built for me. My height, how i ride, where i ride, what i personally like or dislike. Id be no help to anyone because all i know is what i like and why i like it. I could talk about it all day and it wouldnt help anyone out. Hell a lot of people call sportys girls bikes and ask when im going to upgrade......upgrade to what? My bike is perfect for me and i love jumping on her just to ride......hard to explain.......Ok its like when everyone told me not to start off with a 883 sporty cause ill just outgrow it......they thought they were helping me out but it turned out to be the best advice i never took. See where im going with this?
