Is it me or is it a requirement for this subject to come up every single week?

It's in the bylaws. Didn't you read that part when you were a prospect?&nbsp\\;

It's in the forum rules.&nbsp\\; Terry will ban Shu if it doesn't happen.

You are right, after a while, it became mandatory.

Yep, everyweek.&nbsp\\; Ride what you want but agree with a couple of the posts here.&nbsp\\; Sporty's can handle 2up but the ride is so much better for her with a larger bike.&nbsp\\; Sporty's are Harley's intro bike and so you get a little ribbing over it.&nbsp\\; Never rode one myself, started on a 41' Harley my Dad had&nbsp\\;and built&nbsp\\;my own&nbsp\\;ever since.&nbsp\\; Rode the wife's Dyna the other day, nice bike but not my style!
Don't sweat it, just ride!

I have both a 1200 and a GL1800 Goldwing. I hear this kinda of bull no matter which one I ride. I just smile and maybe even laugh if it's funny. The laughing and snide comments quit real fast when I twist the throttle on either of them and have to squint my eyes to see them in the rear view mirror.
&nbsp\\;
I have always suspected that guys who make fun of other's rides have a small ***** and try to compensate.... Just my opion tho..... I have NO first hand experience to back that up....

Been riding for 2 years now, 2001 883 Sportster. Affordable, fun and excellant on twisty's. Big twins frown at me or any other Sporty, maybe cause they lost the enjoyment of a fun ride. Sure I want a tour bike, but the Sporty stays in my stable. Frown back at 'em and enjoy what ya got.

They don't want you to get the Sporty because they don't want you to see how jealous they will be when you dish out a case of whoop *** at the twisties and stop lights.

Plus you will have more money left over for goodies after buying a Sporty!
