My first reaction was to say he was a jerk (ok worse than that) and didn't know what he was talking about. I pointed out that many women ride different Harleys, and it looked to me like the Softails were the most popular with women, although many of us ride touring bikes too. I was actually surprised that the Road King was his first guess. So I wondered, how do you guys that ride Road Kings feel about his remark?

You guys have been telling Sportster riders that for years. What's the differance??
I do believe women ride anything with 2 wheels these days.

Boy...this brings back memories. Back in my racing day's, late 60's early 70's, I rode with a girl who had a 900 sportster. She was a welder by trade. Really HOT too!! She had several degree's in black belt. I watched her kick a guy's a$$ in a bar one night. She needed no help at all. Didn't take her long either. She did her own wrenching too!!

I've never heard anyone refer to the Road King as a womans bike. He's either an azz or he was messing around.

This person prolly thinks "Road King" is an Elvis song and has never even seen a Harley let alone know what model he would be looking at if he did.

Welcome to the site and don't let what anyone tells you bother you. Most of the time they don't know squat.

I love my Road King, its about the most adaptable model that H-D has made. You can dress it up and take it any where.

I think it would a little difficult to ride "side saddle" and hold on to a parasol at the same time as shift and apply brakes...

I've always been good at reading people, kind of a gift you could say.

Take this slack-jawed, male prostitute, dog-buggering, male coworker of yours for instance; no doubt he suffers from a ****** so small the dogs he buggers complain about it.

Everyone knows Road Kings are as cool as cool gets.

Tell Mr. Slackjawed Dogbuggerer to have a nice cup of shut the phuckup and stop bothering dogs.
