This is starting to get to me.

I've had a few days off this week and the weather is fantastic.

Rode my Wide Glide a lot.

Went to visit a friend at his office. He came outside to check out the bike when I was leaving. His comment was, "that bike is like a sportster, right?" I was shocked.

Then in the afternoon of the same day, my Dad came by my house. He was admiring my bike and then he said, "that bike is like a Sportster".

My bike has lots and lots of chrome, and that Wide Glide style. (the original, not the new style WG)

I'm now looking for a new dad and friend.

Don't expect people that don't own a Harley to get it. We have to try to educate them.

If my friend pulled up on a Honda, I would probably ask him if it was a rebel, seeing as that is the only make of a honda MC that I know of. So, I would gather that your Dad and friend do not ride, and probably asked if it was a sportster seeing as it is the make of HD that most people know.
