Default Texas newbie

As you can tell im from texas. i am new to this forums and to harley davidsons. I previously owned a 1200 cc rice rocket. Its been about 6 years since i owned a bike. i am already catching crap because i bought a xl883c. It could be because i am 6'2" and over 300 lbs. its the only harley that fit in my budget. I figured it was better than buying another brand of bike but i guess not. Is anybody else haveing this problem. i always caught crap when i had my suzuki because it wasnt a harley now i catch it cause its not the right one. I dont know but it gives me a headache trying to figure it out. I was told I should have bought a bike that felt proud to be seen on and i am proud to be seen on mine because it is my first harley. ok i have taken enough of yalls time
