No.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; They have it wrong.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; We are buying Sportsters because they are a kick in the pants to ride.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; The gas thing is just an excuse to convince the wife.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;

&nbsp\\;Right on.

The gas thing was just the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;HONEY CAN I BUY A BIKE WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE . How many times when I was at the gun shop and a guy would look at a Rifle he say I'll have to ask my wife if I can buy it.WTF BE A MAN. As long as you pay the bills and take care of you kids meet your oblagations F yes buy&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;it.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;Europe is worse than the States.

Men over here actually think it's cool to pretend to be terrified of their wives.

Most of my neighbors are making stupid amounts of money. Yesterday one actually tried to put something in his supermarket trolley\\\\\\; and his wife took it out and told him to put it back.

He did.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I swear to God. He was complaining to me about it afterwards. Lmfao&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; dick-wad.

If anyone buys a Sporty to save gas, they bought for the wrong reasons.

My dealer sold 10 bike the weekend I bought my XL1200. Didn't buy it to save gas or anything, but it doesn't hurt.

Since I live less than 5 mile from work, can only ride about 7 months a year and have a fairly fuel efficient car, the return on investment based on gas only on my bike is 192 years. I had not planned on working quite that long. Guess I will just have to enjoy it and not worry about gas prices.

"It will get over 50 mpg."
&nbsp\\;
I don't know what's worse, that I even used that line on my wife or that she fell for it.
