SportyPig,

I know you already responded and commented on the subject of the background in your picture, but I had to tell you that is a fantastic shot - you've got a good eye for a properly staged photo (and a sweet looking ride)! There is a beach/sea grass spot that I have been meaning to go back to with my camera. Seems I have CRS and can never remember to take it with me to get that shot I want! Hmmm... maybe if I tie a derby cover around my neck I'll remember...

 

Sporty over a Deuce? Wife over a Fling? Should take much to figure it out...

Thumper, try putting the HD key on the camera wrist strap. I have CRS also. This therapy works

 

Buy the Duece, then you have two HD's which is always better than one. When the wife doesn't ride the sporty you have that, otherwise you have the deuce. Win Win.

 

I love the Duece and it's all me also. But I also love my Sporty. When I was shopping, it was between the Deuce and Sporty. I decided on the Sporty but still have plans for a Deuce in the future. Of course, Im keeping my Sporty also.....

 

I thought the Deuce was a girls bike?

That's right, I said it.......[sm=teetertooter.gif]

 

The look the to shape and so forth makes the deuce look like a sportster custom on steriods. An over grown sporty. I really like the why deuces look. And there name is good too. So go with what makes you happier. reminder: if the wife is happier, you'll be happier.

 

Hey, just have fun and consider yourself lucky - you have a great opportunity here and whatever it may be - deuce, softail, bagger, sporty or street bob - make it the one that's right for you...that's all that matters.

 

I don't know what to tell you.... the bad thing about most motorcycle buyers is that... well they buy before ever getting a chance to ride what they buy. A trip around a parking lot is not much of a test either... so you don't know what you're getting yourself in for, for the most part.

It's kinda like a pretty woman... sure she looks real nice, but you'll never really know what she like until you've rode her a few times... You may find out that it's not what you thought is would be like.... lol

Kinda like marriage...

I like my Sporty. Everyone that looks at my bike on bike night comments, "I remember my Sportster and man I really miss it. Wish I had it back..." You should get what makes you happy bro. If I were after a BT I'd get the Deluxe. However, I'd keep my Sporty. On the days that I feel like a more spirited ride, on the Sporty I go. Sounds like you have a great opportunity. DO what your heart tells you. The new 50th anniversary Sportster is sweeeeeeet!! You can't go wrong with any '07. The 96 motor is a thing of beauty and the Sportsters get fuel injection.. It sounds like a tough choice. Berst of luck!
