Default Should I be flattered -- or insulted?

I'm new to the forum and I've read all of the informative (and amusing) threads detailing whether Sportsters are chick bikes. My intention is not to rekindle the debate and annoy everyone. But twice in the past week, a couple of Harley owners admired my SuperLow and said, "Nice bike. I just bought my wife one."

Well, they have good taste, I suppose. But the starter bike/chick bike undercurrent is more annoying to me than I had imagined.

F*** them....people who feel the need to make fun of others for no reason usually have so many insecurity issues that it isn't funny. They do it to make themselves feel good.

It's pathetic...buy/ride what you like

As long as that bike gives you a smile when you hop on, thats what counts. Can say the same about a chick though. Don't let it get to you,just enjoy the ride.

I always say they are the best bike to customize, work on and make personal modifications. Plus you can ride it like you stole it!!!!

Why are you standing around in a parking lot talking to a bunch of loosers when you have a beautiful brand new bike you could be out riding?
