Default No Joking...Deluxe is a man's Bike!

I counted 23 men over the last couple of days riding a Deluxe... I guess this debate is finally put to rest.

I didn't know there had been a debate.

But for the record, I think you'll find that male riders outnumber females riders by a staggering margin. So, just because you counted more guys riding Deluxes, doesn't necessarily mean anything. Perhaps what needs to be done is to count the ratio of men versus women, for each of the Harley models. And if the Deluxe seems to have more women riders than compared to Dyna Low Riders, for example, then maybe it's a "chick bike".

I was just being sarcastic because of the "No joking Deluxe is a girl's bike" thread that won't die.

I had seen allot of gals riding Dyna's. Our new neighbors are a couple that rides.
He rides a Dyna Street Bob (The flat black one?) and she rides a Street Glide.

So much for my theory (and the myth about the Deluxe)

is there such thing as a man or chick bike? i see guys riding sporsters and women on dynas and vice versa. i do not think anything of what bike they ride. I just think, NICE BIKE

What someone likes is not the same as another person, There is no such thing as a man or a chick bike IMO........unless it has ***** strapped to the rear fender, then its a guys bike. I actually did see this before
