RE: Nice little bike

It's been said already and I feel the same, I (you all) bought my bike for me (us), because it's right for me (us). The ride height, the style, the torque, all of those reasons and more. Just enjoy what you have and let others enjoy what they have. We all ride, it shouldn't matter what we ride.

To be honest, I don't ride cross countryevery weekend. With both the wife and I working and a couple of curtain climbers I wouldn't get the use out of a touring bike. The Sportster is a great bike for going downtown to the watering hole and bolting back to the house. 'Never have gotten a negative comment about the ride. As for being a "beginner" bike -- I'm 34yrs. old and got my first dirt bike at 9.

That me too. If I'm touring it usually involves a wife, 3 kids and a camper trailer. A Road King would be just as useless as a Sportsterfor this purpose. For cruising around town the Sportster can't be beat. Of the biker crowd at work there are a few GW's, a RK an ElectraGlide and a few metrics. On any given day in the parking lot is usually my Sportster and one other bike of whoever road that day. The consistancy is the Sportster. It gets road time almost every day.
My dad said it best, "There a 2 kinds of people, Harley Riders and Harley Polishers" I'm a rider, and I ride a Sportster.
