So I just feel so inadequate on my sportster and can't stand riding a "girls bike"....

No really though the wife wants a bigger bike that she can be more comfy on (we are not little people) so I just applied for a 07 super glide that has some mods already and I really like the bike, however I am trying like hell to get the new bike and keep the sporty out of this deal. I love my sportster and want both bikes so we will see how this works out keep your fingers crossed.

Try the Fat Bob on for size before you make up your mind.

I'm with Osco. I've owned both Big Twins and Sportsters, and just sold my FXD to get a Nightster...

Put me down for one of what Osco said, too. Gonna get another King for myself, and keeping the Nightster for Tiffany... but I plan on riding the Sporty a LOT myself. Fun bike!

When you said Darkside I thought you meant car tire on your sporty. I almost had a BM.

Were I going to get another stock BT, the RK is the only one I'd consider. I'm really thinking about a Brass ***** Digger, though...

My First bike is a sporty. Don't think I'll ever replace her but instead just add to the stable.

There is nothing wrong showing your feminine side

It's a a shame you are getting a new bike because of the way idiots perceive the Sporty...
